Tampa Bay Twin Trifecta
 

Anybody here fond of this bet?

Seems like they get some decent carryovers. May switch my betting "tack" from the poly at Turfway to Tampa for the winter. The poly kickback looks like it has returned in the cold weather and the track spooks me to say the least (I think it might freeze after all).

How do they price the twin tri? Is is the cost of the first tri leg added to the cost of the second tri leg? It can't be 1st leg X 2nd leg . . . 6th leg like a pick 6?

Thanks.

Best I can tell,you have to be at the track for this bet,but I may be mistaken.

I think Scuds is right, I have no idea how to wager on it.....

you have to be on track, as far as i know. the way a twin tri works is you bet the first tri, and for each $2 winning combination you have in the first leg you get to exchange it for a combination in the 2nd leg. So let's say you hit the first leg with a $20 bet, you'd get 10 shots at the 2nd leg.

the reason the carryovers get so large it's a nearly IMPOSSIBLE bet to hit without a massive investment.

So if you play a $2 Tri part wheel and it cost $24, and you hit the ticket, that means you only get to play a $2 straight tri ticket in the next leg?

yep..bad news

That's absolutely correct.

Likewise, if you play a $20 tri part wheel for a $240 cost, you get 10 combos in the next leg.

Yep what? Yep I am right or are you responding to someone else? Learn how to use the quote button

That's brutal, and absolutely impossible for a track like Tampa with large competitive fields....

No question about it. And the races they choose for the twin tri... well.. they're exceptionally brutal.

It's a very cool wager that's not worth playing.

yes its the way that wager is..comedy guy..lol

I play it occaisionally when the bankroll permits and there is a decent carryover. You must have the first race narrowed down to the point where you can have a key horse or two and pound them on multiple tickets.

I did hit one with only one exchange a couple years ago.

They mandatorily pay it out every Tuesday and yes, you must be on track to play.

I do believe they have also have payout for that 1st tri maybe half what is wagered into the pool that hence the remainder for c.o.

Thanks for the help everyone.

Looks like a bad bet . . . Beulah Park (of all places) had something similar last season with a tri-super. Played it only once. Nailed the tri multiple times and felt great about the upcoming super. Then they canceled racing due to track conditions. If I remember I received some paltry consolation.

Looking forward to Tampa tomorrow.
