The
Basics Of Wagering
Part (5) Boxing Numbers in a Superfecta Bet
Boxing
numbers in a superfecta bet means that all numbers chosen
are put in every possible combination to provide a greater
possibility of correctly selecting the first four finishers.
If the numbers 1, 2, 3, and 5 are boxed, the 24 possible
combinations of those numbers are covered. As long as
the first four finishers involve the numbers 1, 2, 3,
and 5, the boxed ticket is a winner. The more numbers
used in a box, the greater the number of possibilities
covered. However, the more numbers boxed, the greater
the cost to cover the wager.

A
simple rule to remember to compute
the cost of a boxed superfecta wager would be as follows:
the number of horses to be boxed MULTIPLIED
by the next lowest number MULTIPLIED
by the next lowest number MULTIPLIED
by the next lowest number MULTIPLIED
by the dollar amount of the wager. EXAMPLE:
A five-horse superfecta box for $1 would be computed
5 (number of horses to be boxed) x
4 (next lowest number) x 3
(next lowest number) x 2 next lowest
number) x 1
(dollar amount of the wager) = $120.
