"I have never had so much success (or fun) with the punt. Thanx heaps and great
punting to all!”
"I am very appreciative of the efforts that go into producing this outstanding information."
One of the betting issues that arises many times when I
speak with our clients at The Rating Bureau concerns trifectas and the
most advantageous way of linking selections for these.
Firstly,
you must make a basic decision - determine your desired outcome. Do you
like just winning trifectas - or are you more interested in making
money? The average trifecta dividend in Queensland over the past five
years is more than $970 and I assume it would be something similar in
the other states, so the chance is there to really cash in if you can
hit the mark often enough.
We’ve covered quite a few multiple combinations for the exotics in the last few issues of PPM and this time around I’m looking at the lower priced end of the scale . . . yes, it’s back to basics!
I suppose the one combination that is overbet as far as trifectas go is the 3-runner ‘box’ for $6. It’s easy to pick out three, link them all and hand over your six bucks. Okay, that’s fine as far as it goes, but there are better ways to attack the trifecta without spending too much money.
It’s back to the trifecta this month, and this time I’m looking at some of the more costly multiple combinations.
I’m using $75 as the minimum stake. This is a fair whack to spend on a trifecta but if you pick your races carefully you can give yourself a wide spread of runners, and thus stand the chance of hooking some handsome returns.
If $75 or more is a bit too much for your wallet, you can always use the ‘flex-bet’ facility and bet a percentage of the total stake. Bet, say, 50 per cent and you’ll only be up for $37.50 on a $75 combination (based on $1 units).
Knowing when to “draw the line” in the number of combinations is a key factor in successful betting on trifectas.
Most punters have only a limited amount of money to spend. In a way, this is a good thing. It at least stops the punter from wasting money on combinations that are highly unlikely to succeed.
I think $25 is a fair “average” bet . . . so, with that in mind, what can you do to spend that $25, or even something smaller, with your trifecta combinations?
Some ground rules to kick off this article: there’s no sense in trying to bet trifectas on every race, and no sense in backing too many horses at short prices.
So that’s out of the way. What I want to discuss is how to bet on trifectas to give yourself the best chance of making some money on a long-term basis. To do this you WILL need to hit several very large trifectas in the course of 12 months.
