But who to back in for your Melbourne Cup trifecta? Well, we have some insights below for you on strong trifecta and boxed trifecta bets.
First though what is the difference between trifecta and boxed trifecta?
Trifecta is when you are able to pick 3 horses to finish in the exact order ie first, second and third – yes it’s very hard! A boxed trifecta, however, is a little more fun allowing you to choose multiple horses in which any of them can finish first, second or third – allowing you a greater chance to win – however this generally means you will win less and have to bet a higher amount to claim a decent amount of the trifecta payout percentage.
