The superfecta is a type of wager in USA and Canada parimutuel betting in which the bettor, in order to win, must pick the first four finishers of a race in the correct sequence. This is even more unlikely than a successful wager in the trifecta, which requires correctly picking the first three finishers in order, and as such will have a correspondingly higher payoff.
Most exotic wagers in horseracing are a 1 dollar minimum. Due to the difficulty of the superfecta, some racetracks have lowered the minimum on the superfecta to 10 cents. This 10 cent bet is very popular with the fans as it permits a bettor with a small bankroll to cover many combinations and still have a chance for a large payoff.
Due to the imprecise nature of the name (as opposed to other bets such as the trifecta), superfecta bets can sometimes require selecting more than four horses. For instance, the New South WalesTAB in Australia previously offered a superfecta bet on selected races requiring bettors to pick the first six finishers in the correct order, rather than four. The bet requiring the selection of four finishers in order is instead referred to by most Australian totalisators as a First Four bet (or in Western Australia as a Quartet[1]). Although the first-six superfecta bet is still theoretically allowed by New South Wales regulations,[2] the First Four bet has all but replaced it there.
This type of wager is called quadrifecta in Brazil and cuatrifecta in Argentina and Uruguay ('quad-fecta').

How To Bet A Trifecta Horse Race Results
A trifecta is a parimutuel bet placed on a horse race in which the bettor must predict which horses will finish first, second, and third, in the exact order.[1] Known as a trifecta in the US and Australia,[2] this is known as a tricast in the UK,[3] a tierce in Hong Kong,[4] a triactor in Canada[5] and a tiercé in France.[6] A trio, offered in Hong Kong and France, is a variation in which the order of the horses is not relevant.[4][7]
Variations[edit]
Boxed[edit]
A 'boxed' trifecta is where three horses are selected, and the player wins if these three horses finish first in any order.[1] Boxed bets are effectively equivalent to placing standard trifecta bets on all six possible outcomes of the selected horses. For example, a boxed trifecta of horses numbered 6, 7 and 9, wins if horses finish in any of these combinations of outcomes:
- 6, 7, 9
- 6, 9, 7
- 7, 6, 9
- 7, 9, 6
- 9, 6, 7
- 9, 7, 6.
Banker[edit]
How To Bet A Trifecta Horse Race Game
One horse (the 'banker') is chosen to win the race, and two or more selections are boxed to come second and third. The 'banker' must win in all possible combinations. For example, if horse number 2 is the banker, and the other three choices are numbered 6, 7 and 8, then there are a total six possible combinations for a winning bet:
- 2, 6, 7
- 2, 6, 8
- 2, 7, 6
- 2, 7, 8
- 2, 8, 6
- 2, 8, 7.
Roving banker or banker multiple[edit]
One horse (the 'banker') is chosen to finish in the first three, and three or more selections are boxed for the other two places – the banker must finish either 1st, 2nd or 3rd in each possible combination. For example, if horse number 6 is the banker, and horses number 7, 8 and 9 are the selections, then there are total of eighteen combinations for a winning bet, each with horse number 6 in them, for example:
- 6, 7, 8
- 7, 6, 8
- 7, 8, 6
- 6, 8, 9
- 8, 9, 6, and so on.
History[edit]
The term was first used in the 1970s,[8] and was derived from perfecta (a bet on which horses will finish first and second)[8] and tri- (three).[9]
In the United States, the trifecta was first initiated at Arlington Park in 1971.[10] It was first used in Australia in April 1977 by TAB New South Wales, and was introduced in New Zealand in December 1983.[11]
