Impossible trifectas?

Posted on October 16, 2003 at 07:17:01 PM by Tiger

As part of looking at re-bet options, it's apparent that Dania will accept re-bets on trifecta combinations that CAN NOT OCCUR.

Take an extreme case, where points are 4-3-3-3-3-3-3-3 at re-bet time. Are there still 336 possibilities? I doubt it. Remember, superfectas have to be 9-point games 'cause you can't hit all the combos in a 7-pointer.

Granted, it's a 9-point game, which gives things a chance to even out, but I'd be willing to bet there are re-bet setups where there are less than 336 possible winning combos.

Anybody know for sure? Craig?
