Trifecta Wagers

A Trifecta wager requires that you select the first three finishers of a race in the exact order of their finish. For example, if you select the #3 horse to finish first, the #5 horse to finish second and the #2 horse to finish third, they must finish in that order.

How to place a Trifecta wager:

  1. After signing in, click HORSES to open the Bodog Racebook.
  2. Under Upcoming Races, which is at the top of the left navigation pane, select the track where the race you want to wager on is being held.
    or
    In the alphabetical track listing, which is at the bottom of the left navigation pane, select the track where the race you want to wager on is being held. Note that the link is disabled if the track hasn't offered any races on the current day.

    The upcoming race at that track is selected, and the time remaining before the race starts (MTP) is displayed beside the race time.

  3. If you want to wager on a race other than the one that is selected, click the race time.
  4. Click the Trifecta tab. The horses running in the race are displayed in the race pane, along with the gate number, the name of the jockey and the Morning Line odds (ML) for each horse.
  5. Select the check box for the first position horse under the 1st column, the second position horse under the 2nd column and the third position horse under the 3rd column (see Figure 1).

    You can click Box if you want to place a Trifecta Box. See Boxes to learn how.

    You can select more than three check boxes if you want to place a Trifecta Wheel. See Wheels to learn how.

    Fig. 1. Select check boxes in the 1st, 2nd and 3rd columns.

  6. Click Add To My Ticket. Your bet is added to your ticket with a default stake amount of $1.00.
  7. If desired, modify the stake amount. Note that the minimum stake is $1.00, the maximum stake depends on the track, and all bets must be an even dollar amount. The cost of your bet is automatically calculated for you (see Figure 2).

    or
    Click Delete All to remove all bets from your ticket.

    You can't cancel or modify a bet once it has been placed. As this policy is strictly enforced, make sure that you review and confirm all bet details carefully before clicking Place My Ticket.
