twin-tri & Tri-super
tri & super hits

 

 

 

The difference between a Twin-Tri & a Tri-Super is...

A Twin-Tri you must select a trifecta in the 1st leg and a trifecta in the 2nd leg. In a Tri-Super you must select a trifecta in the 1st leg. Then correctly pick the superfecta in the 2nd leg.

 

 

 

What are the odds you will ever hit a TT or TS?

These jackpots are the most difficult in greyhound racing. That's also why the payoffs run from a low of $10K to a high of $250K or more! So, if you think someone or a group of players (or syndicate) can just buy a Twin-Tri or Tri-Super race think again!

In order to buy (or guarantee to hit) a Twin-Tri it would cost $112,896. It would cost $564,480 to buy a Tri-Super. This is the reason these Jackpots are so difficult to hit.

   
Jackpot type Odds
Twin-Tri 112,896 to 1
Tri-Super 564,480 to 1

 

 

 
Here's an example of how most jackpots build up.

Monday Mat $2,000 $1,000 $1,000 $1,000
Monday Eve $4,000 $2,000 $2,000 $3,000
Tuesday Eve $4,000 $2,000 $2,000 $5,000
Wednesday Mat $3,000 $1,500 $1,500 $6,500

50% 1st leg After the track takes out (%) the balance is divided by 50% and paid to all the winners on the 1st leg.
   
50% 2nd leg The carryover of 50% is added to the jackpot which then grows after every card until hit or given away.

 

 

 

Exchanges are the winning tickets that you have on the 1st leg of the jackpot. The more exchanges you have, the better are your chances to hit the jackpot.

Lets suppose that
  • You played a Twin-Tri
  • 1st leg is Race #10
  • 2nd leg is Race #12
 
You played the following tickets
   

$1 Twin-Tri 1 > 2 > All

Cost you $6.00

$3 Twin-Tri 1 > 2 > 345

Cost you $9.00

$4 Twin-Tri 1 > 2 > 678

Cost you $12.00

Good news! You get paid...
   

4 Exchanges

4 x $50.00 = $200.00
   
What's next?

This is where you turn in your exchange tickets and "exchange" them for 4 combinations on the 2nd leg (race #12 in this example). It's like if you only had $4.00 to bet a trifecta on any race. This is why it's best to hit the 1st leg as many times as possible to get more exchanges and have a much better chance at hitting the 2nd leg jackpot and so you can make big profits!

 

 

 
Step Description
1.
Handicap and set up the 1st leg race of the Twin-Tri or Tri-Super jackpot.
   
2.
Go to the betting window and play your winning trifecta combination as many times as you need it. You can play the same combination multiple times to get more chances to hit the 2nd leg and the jackpot.
 

 

3. Watch the 1st leg race for the results.
   
4.

Take your winning ticket(s) to the betting window where you will get paid for each winning combination you have. So, it's a great bet because you are getting paid after each leg.

After you get paid for winning the 1st leg, you then get a free bet on the 2nd leg for every winning ticket you won on the 1st leg. If you have one winning ticket then you only get to play one bet (a straight play) on the 2nd leg or jackpot leg.

So, for each winning ticket you have on the 1st leg, you get that exact number of bets for free on the 2nd leg. On a Twin-Trifecta you have to play a trifecta bet on the 2nd leg. On a Tri-Super you have to play a superfecta bet on the 2nd leg.

Exp: If you have 3 winning tickets on the 1st leg you can play just $3 in free combinations on the 2nd leg.

   
5. Watch the 2nd leg for the results.
   
6.

Depending on the payout method that your track offers, if you hit all numbers in the 2nd leg you would then win the jackpot. If your track has a "closest number payout", then you only need to get closer than anyone else to win!

Exp: 1-2-3-all, could be a winner to 1 player.
Exp: 1-2-all-all, could be a winner to 1 player.

If your track offers a "share all payout" and there are no winners, then the entire jackpot is shared equally between all the 1st leg exchange ticket holders. So, the more exchange tickets you have, the more money you make.

 

 

 
The Twin-Trifecta & Tri-Super jackpots are extremely large and are usually given away in different payout matter.
 
Payout methods for the Twin-Trifecta & Tri-Super jackpots:
 
Payout method Description
Share all payout If nobody has a winning 2nd leg ticket the jackpot is shared by all 1st leg ticket holders.
   
Closest number If nobody has a winning 2nd leg ticket the jackpot is given away to the person(s) holding a winning ticket which comes closest to the winning combination.
   
Rollover This jackpot keeps growing until hit. Makes for very big carryover and huge jackpots.
   
Guaranteed

The same as a regular jackpot pool with one exception, the track guarantees the jackpot will not be smaller than the set amount.

Exp: a $25K guaranteed jackpot will always pay at least $25K on the 2nd or payoff leg.

   
Capped

This is a jackpot that has reached it's set limit. Some of these jackpots are given away once they reach $50K, $100K & $500K!

These are the biggest jackpots in greyhound racing. Everyone is always chasing these jackpots knowing that they will reach a mandatory given away day.

   

WARNING!! Unless you feel very sure you can hit both the front and back leg of a Twin-Trifecta or Tri-Super race, you should never play the "1st leg" of these jackpot races as they are a very poor value.

The reason is that to build up a big jackpot the track always takes at least 50% of the amount bet on the 1st leg. Then they add this amount to the 2nd leg carryover. As a result, they only payout 50% to the winners of the 1st leg, instead of 100% (less their %). So, the 1st leg trifecta pays 50% of what it usually should or less because a non-giveaway is never played hard.
