Generally: Take the total amount wagered in the trifecta pool and multiply it by the takeout rate (a.k.a. commission rate). Subtract this amount from the total amount wagered in the pool. From the amount remaining (the Net pool), subtract the amount of money that was placed on the winning Trifecta combination, leaving you with the Profit pool. Divide the Profit pool by the amount that was bet on the winning combination. Add 1 to the division's resulting amount. Drop the pennies so you're left with the dollars and dimes. This is the payout (price) amount on the winning combination per $1 of winning money.

∙ 11y agoStart with the number of horses you want to bet. If you want to box 6 horses for a 3 horse, $1 Trifecta Box, multiply 6x5x4=120. There are 120 different possible combinations that 3 out of 6 horses could finish first, second and third. Each bet costs a minimum of $1 so a 6 horse Tri-Box would cost $120. If you wanted to box 5 horses, multiply 5x4x3=$60. A 6 horse SuperFecta (first, second and third & fourth) would be figured by multiplying 6x5x4x3 =$360

If they bet $100 on a 50-1 odd horse, then you multiply 100 and 50...which would come out to be a payout of $5,000. The original stake of $100 would also be returned with this amount.
