In horse betting, the potential payout for an exacta is typically higher than that of a trifecta. This is because an exacta requires bettors to correctly predict the first and second place horses in a race, which is more challenging than predicting the first, second, and third place horses required for a trifecta.
Trifecta and Trifecta Box\n\n If you're looking for the biggest payout the toughest bet to hit then the trifecta or trifecta box might be your cup of tea. It calls for picking the three horses to finish first, second and third. Just like the exacta, you can bet it as a straight trifecta 1-2-3.
