Unlike a straight Quinella Bet, Quinella Box betting involves picking the top twp horses that will finish the race in ANY order. Quinella Box betting improves your chances of being successful because you can include more horses in your bet, plus the order in which the horses finish is unimportant.

There's one small catch: Quinella Box bets cost more than a Straight Quinella Bet, usually $6 per bet at minimum with three horses. The extra money paid for a Quinella Box bet is for purchasing all the various combinations in which your horses can finish. Mathematically speaking, the are 6 possible finishing combinations of 3 horses. Therefore, your Quinella Box bet will cost $2 per combination, for a total of $6.

Example: $2 Quinella Box Bet
