The professional approach to trifecta betting is to bet each combination individually with varying amounts. But rather than base trifecta predictions on win chances one must use place chances because the order of favouritism for second and particularly third can be different from that for the win. Put another way, the trifecta chances of three runners depending on the win chances of every other runner in the race! As a result, we can show that a trifecta of three runners at say $3, $4 and $5 will actually have different chances of occurring and pay different amounts depending on the chances of the other runners in the race.

Our "Place Odds and Trifecta Report" explains all this in much more detail and our Tote Pro software applies all the necessary calculations. Tote Pro was described by the late trifecta genius Peter Bent as "the very best trifecta program on the market" adding that "I know what features a good trifecta program should include and believe me when I say this program includes all those features and then some".

Tote Pro used to sell separately for $1,995 but is now fully integrated into our Bet Selector Gold software and above. For a free copy of this software plus a free copy of our "Place Odds and Trifecta report" just send an email with your first name in the subject line to demo@capitalinfo.com.au

Trifecta Bet Types

To maximise your chances of picking the trifecta you need to bet more than just a single combination

When betting a Trifecta you get paid a dividend by picking the first three place getters in order. To maximise your chances of wining you need to bet a number of combinations. Following are ways to do this from simple (and inefficient) to more complicated (and more profitable):

• Standard Trifectas are the simplest form of trifecta betting because you just select first, second and third in order (ie one selection to come first, one to come second and one to come third). The cost is inexpensive at just one unit but the chances of you picking the three place getters correctly and in order are rather low.
• Boxed Trifectas are a popular trifecta betting method where you bet a number of selections to come first, second and third in any order. With boxed trifectas you get every possible combination of your selections for first, second and third.
• Multiple Trifectas are similar to boxed trifectas but you can specify a different number of selections for first, second and third.
• Banker Trifectas are where you stand out one selection to win with other selections to fill the second and third places. Roving Bankers are similar but your banker is a runner you are sure will fill a place so you "rove" it across the three place positions. The use of bankers reduces your outlay but naturally you only collect if your banker fills the required position and your other selections fill the other positions.
• Flexi Betting allows you to reduce the overall amount bet in return for a proportionally reduced collect. Also known as Fractional Betting on Tattsbet and Percentage Betting in NZ, this is a great way to make trifecta betting more affordable. Let's look at an example with 10 horses where boxing gives 720 combinations costing $720 (using $1 units). With Flexi Betting you could reduce your outlay to say $72 (10%) or even $7.50 (1%). If the trifecta paid $10,000 then you would have to outlay $720 to get the full $10,000 but a $72 Flexi Bet would return you $1,000 (10%) while a $7.50 Flexi Bet would return $100 (1%).
