SUPERFECTA
is the form of pari-mutuel wagering whereby you select in order the first,
second, third and fourth place horses in races which offer superfecta wagering.
SUPERFECTA BOX
In boxing the superfecta,
the bettor may bet a minimum of four horses on a single ticket, giving the
bettor every possible combination of the chosen horses to finish first, second,
third, fourth in exact order.

SUPERFECTA WHEEL
If you like one horse and
want to play it with all other combinations of the rest of the
field, so that any other two can run second and third, that's called
wheeling. For example, if you like the # 2 horse and want to play him to
win, with all the other horses in the race, you'll say to the mutuel clerk "$1
Superfecta, Wheel the # 2 on top."
$1 is just an example;
you can wager whatever amount you like. Also, you can put your horse "in the
second position," in which case he must run second, "in the third position," in
which case he must run third, or "on the bottom," in which case he must run
fourth. We suggest you place any superfecta wager slowly and use whatever way
makes the most sense to you, so that the mutuel clerk understands you
completely.

SUPERFECTA KEY WHEEL
This is a simple
variation of wheeling. In a KEY wheel, you select one horse to win, and then
your choice of x number of horses in the second and third positions. An example
is in order. Let's say you like the #3 horse really well to win, and you think
the # 6, 7, and 8 horses are the only other horses in the race who have any shot
at all of hitting the board. You would play a "$1 Superfecta, Key the 3 over the
6, 7, and 8."
Your ticket would cover
these combinations:
3-6-7-8
3-6-8-7
3-7-6-8
3-7-8-6
3-8-6-7
3-8-7-6

Don't be confused by the
slight odd-looking overlap in the two charts above. There are a couple
of duplications simply expressed in different ways. For example, if there are
six horses in the field, saying "Wheel the #2 on Top" is the same as saying "Key
Wheel, # 2 with 1, 3, 4, 5, 6."
Don't sweat it--just make
sure to check your ticket before you leave the window to make sure you've been
given the bet you called out AND that you've been charged properly.
SUPERFECTA PART-WHEEL
The favorite of many
superfecta players, this variation is virtually the same as a basic wheel,
except that you can exclude as many horses as you want. This allows you
to build some pretty creative bets. Since Superfecta Part Wheels are largely
played using $1 as the basic betting unit, and in the interest of displaying
part wheels as clearly as possible, we'll feature only the costs of tickets
using $1 in the chart that follows. Remember, of course, that $1 tickets always
pay HALF as much as $2 ones!
Superfecta part wheels
usually involve a lot of numbers and can quickly become VERY confusing, so plan
your tickets carefully, never be in a hurry, and write 'em down!
The chart does not cover
all possible combinations. The selection of which combinations to include was
based on what I thought would be the most probable combinations players would
use and an upper limit of around $80. Let's not get crazy here.
How to read the chart:
Example 1: 1 23 3456
3456 means one horse in the win position, two horses in the place
position, four horses in the show position, and the same four horses in
the fourth position.
Example 2: 1 234 234
345 means one horse in the win position, three horses in the place position, the
same four horses in the show position, and three horses in the fourth
position, two of which (#3 and #4) were also used in the place and show
positions.
Write down
your bet to make sure you have it right before you go to the window, and
check your tickets, cost, and change before you walk away from the
window. Whether a mistake is yours or a clerk's, it can be very costly in terms
of both money and frustration.
