Does any one know the formula for working out the cost of a multi trifecta like if you had 3 for 1st 4 for 2nd and 5 for 3rd and the same horse in the first were also in the second and third and the second horse were in the third...you know what i mean

123 from 1234 from 12345 is 3x3x3 = 27

Quite simple, Shaun:

n x (n-1) x (n-2)

So in your example:

3 x 3 x 3 = 27

Cheers

ok i understand...i thought it would be something simple like that

I think somewhere on the Vic TAB site you can plug in whatever combinations you're thinking of for all multiple bet types to find out the number of combinations involved. (Available even if you don't have an account with them).

Yeah, go to http://www.tabracing.com.au/ and click on 'Bet Calculator'.

Looks good...but something is wrong can only select 2 runners in the multi triffecta.....i will have to e-mail them....i have a program here that will do exactas triffectas superfectas pick 3 right up to pick 8 you you can't put in the numbers you want to bet on but you can select 12 runners in each leg...think it is a yankie program but is free....not sure where i got it but if anyone wants to upload it to a site i can send it to you

I'm not quite sure exactly what you meant there Shaun. The Trifecta part seemed to work okay when I tried it.

When i click on standout triffexta then i go to the first row it only allowes me to check 2 boxes then in the third row i can only check a couple

Hi Shaun

Get nebet does all the calculations for you.
