What is a trifecta bet in horse racing?

As the name might imply, a trifecta bet happens when three horses are involved in a particular bet. With this type of bet, an individual chooses three horses. They will then select which horse will take first place, which one will end up in second, and then which horse will be third.

What is a superfecta bet in horse racing?

Similar to a trifecta bet, a superfecta bet involves picking a particular group of horses and then predicting which order they will finish in. Trifecta bets have three horses involved while superfecta bets involve four horses.

What is a Win-Place-Show bet in horse racing?

Like trifecta bets, Win-Place-Show bets also involve three horses. With these bets, an individual will select a particular horse to win the race. The individual will then pick a horse that they then expect to finish either first or second. To round it all out, the individual will then pick a horse to finish either first, second, or third.
