Kentucky Derby Odds – Trifecta
They say the Kentucky Derby is the Super Bowl of horse racing. That’s definitely the case for everyone who will be betting on the Kentucky Derby. Just as the Super Bowl brings in a ton of action on proposition bets, the Run for the Roses will see plenty of money coming in for the more exotic betting options. Exotics don’t get much more popular than the trifecta.
The trifecta is a simple wager where you pick the first three horses to cross the finish line, in the correct order of finish. This bet has so much crossover appeal that “complete the trifecta” has become a familiar part of our language. Getting your trifecta right can be incredibly profitable too. Did you have any money on the December 15 CashCall Futurity? If you had the winning trifecta of Violence, Fury Kapcori and Den’s Legacy, then dinner’s on you, because you turned $2 into $532.20.
Completing the trifecta on your online betting ticket is easy. Once you’re at the specific webpage for your desired race, click on the trifecta tab and use the checkboxes provided to select the horses you want to finish first, second and third. After you’ve entered your picks and you’re satisfied you don’t need to make any changes, proceed with your bet and place your ticket.
Thousands of people will be including a trifecta and other high-reward exotics in their Kentucky Derby betting packages. As with the exacta, there are strategies for playing the trifecta which we will discuss in more detail later on. You can maximize your return just as you would with Super Bowl props by making smart decisions with your wagers. It’s difficult to nail a trifecta, so we recommend you keep your bet size suitably small. Treat it as part of your Derby Day entertainment.
