What is the best way to bet on 4 horses?

Question

I have four horses I want to bet on for the Preakness,Which way Is it more possible to win more money if the horses I choose win?What type of Box or Key should I do?

Answer 1

I'm betting you like one horse more than another therefore I'd put it first 4 times = 1x234x234x234 that 10cent bet costs.60x4=$2.40 the same as "boxing" 4 horses  Or 1x234x234x234567 which also costs you $2.40 which is what I'd do.  Good Luck and have fun

Answer 2

10 cent superfecta box.  It will cost you $2.40, and you can have four horses come in in any order.

Answer 3

Personally, I'd do a 4 horse trifecta box.  Since you have 4 horses, you could do a superfecta (top 4 horses), but there's a lot that could go wrong in a superfecta... if any horse that you didn't pick finishes in the top 4, then you lose.  So your horses could finish 1st, 2nd, 3rd, and 5th, but you wouldn't get any money.  I like the Tri box because you have 4 horses and if they finish in the top 3 in any combination, then you win.  That gives you some flexibility.

You could do an exacta box, but I don't think you'll win enough to pay it off, especially if Big Brown wins.

You could also put some extra money on one of your horses to win, place, or show.  If you're really sure about one of them and they're going off at 15-1 odds or more (like most of the Preakness field is), you'd win a good bit of money on them.  I'm kind of a fan of the WPS bet (win place and show)... you're betting $2 or more on the horse to win, place, and show... so you get the payoff for each that the horse wins.  that way if the horse doesn't win, you still get the money for the place and the show.  You could put all $6 on the horse to show, but the show doesn't pay nearly as much as the win and place do.
