Preakness Stakes betting can be more popular on the exotic wagers than on the win, place and show wagers. With the favorite winning more than half the time in Preakness odds, gamblers oftentimes will look to the exotics for value. Let’s look at the exacta, quinella, trifecta and superfecta wagers for the Preakness .
Preakness betting exotic wagers include the exacta, quinella, trifecta and superfecta. What things should you look at when making an exotic wager in Preakness betting? The first thing to remember is that the field is much smaller in Preakness betting than in the Kentucky Derby. 8-12 horses will be on the Preakness odds board.
When you are putting together an exotic ticket you still have to start with the favorite in Preakness Stakes betting. You can key this horse with some other contenders in Preakness betting. Usually you will want to key the favorite with other horses that ran in the Derby. Rarely does a horse not run in the Derby and then do well in Preakness betting. Let’s say for example that we key the favorite with four other horses in a trifecta ticket in Preakness odds. Or better yet, let’s box that favorite with three other horses or perhaps four others in a $1 trifecta box. It will cost you either $24 or $60 depending upon whether you box four or five horses in Preakness Stakes betting. The advantage to boxing the ticket instead of keying the favorite is that it can pay big if the favorite somehow loses in Preakness Stakes odds.
You can do the same thing with the exacta and the superfecta but there are drawbacks with each of those. The exacta just won’t pay that well if the favorite wins while the superfecta is tougher to hit. The exacta is easier to hit, obviously than the trifecta but the payoffs are just not that great when the Preakness Stakes betting favorite comes in. The superfecta also might not pay well enough to make laying out hundreds of dollars in the attempt to hit it. The trifecta can be the best way to play exotics in Preakness Stakes betting.
You should seriously take a look at betting exotics when you wager on the Preakness Stakes. The value is with the exacta, quinella, trifecta and superfecta in the Preakness.
