its a progression. For your example of a 6 horse box the formula for a $1 tri box is 6x5x4 or $120 ... there are 120 different possible winning combinations for this bet. For a 3 horse bet the formula is 3x2x1 or 6 combinations ... 4 horse is 4x3x2, or 24 different combinations....in other words, take the number of horses and multiply by the next 2 lower numbers.....for a 10 horse combo 10x9x8 or 720 possible winning combinations

Amount of wager for a $2 Trifecta box bet:
(note: A $1 wager would cost 1/2 of the amounts below)
# horses - Amount
3 - $ 12
4 - $ 48
5 - $ 120
6 - $240
7 - $ 420
8 - $ 672
More than 8- Have somone tie you to a chair and promise not to let you go until you are "shut out".
