What is the best way to bet a trifecta?
One popular approach is to play it when you believe the favorite either cannot win or stands a strong chance of finishing out of the money. Confining a favorite, especially a heavy one, to the lower rungs of the Trifecta or leaving it off your ticket entirely is when the wager is most playable.
