"In this segment we're going to cover Superfecta. Superfecta's a lot like a Tri, except we're adding another position. Just like in Trifecta, we added third and this one we're going to add fourth place. So, now we're betting on what's going to come in first, what's going to come in second, what's going to come in third and what's going to come in fourth. So, now if we go back to our numbers, we're going to add four to it, just for simplicity sake. One, two, three, four. So, as long as one comes in first, two comes in second, three comes in third and four comes in fourth, you'll win. But, if it comes in any other order than that, you're going to lose. So, if we go back to our segment on keying, we're pretty sure the one's going to come in. Well, now we've got the two, three and four in second, so we're fairly covered there. In third we've got the four, five and six and in fourth we've got our numbers all over again, two, three, four, five and six. And, if you remember back in that segment, we've got the one coming in first, four coming in second, five coming in third and six coming in fourth, we've got a winning ticket. Now, that's a little more expensive than let's say a straight Superfecta, but we've got more chances of winning, the more chances of winning, the better for us. We can also box that bet. On our box segment, we only had three numbers, one, two and three. So, now we're going to have to add the four to that. So, then we're going to get, let's see here, that would be one, two, three, approximately six more combinations of numbers added onto that. My math might be off but, that's not the point. The point is your odds of winning go up drastically, but so does the amount of money you'd have to pay for that bet. Here in Colorado, for a one dollar Superfecta box, it would be twenty four dollars, just for those four numbers. You keep adding numbers that number increases drastically. Just depends on how much money you want to spend, and how much money you're attempting to win. And, that's basically a Superfecta."
