Superfecta Wager: How to Play in Horse Racing
by T.O. Whenham - 09/19/2007
When it comes to intra-race exotics, nothing challenges horse racing bettors more than the superfecta wager. It takes a tremendous deal of luck or a whole lot of savvy insight to be a consistent winner at the superfecta.

Trifecta Wagering
by T.O. Whenham - 09/13/2007
A trifecta, or triactor in some places, requires you to choose the top three horses in a race. You have to not only determine which three horses will end up as the top three, but also which order they will finish in. Though that can be a big challenge at times, it is made worthwhile by the big payouts that are often possible. The trifecta pool is separate from the rest of the betting, and you can't see potential payouts for the bet before the race is over, so you can often find nice profits from winning tickets, even if they include the favorite. Trifecta wagering is a great way to make a sound profit at the track, but you have to tackle it with sound reason and a plan if you want to succeed.

Race tracks make their money from the takeout - the percentage of each bet that they keep for themselves. The Daily Double is collected in its own separate pool, so the takeout is collected separately, and you only pay it once.
