Here is the most popular and widely chosen betting ticket in Japanese boat racing.

Trifecta/3連単

This is the most popular yet most challenging betting option. There are 120 possible outcomes in a 6-boat race. To win, you must accurately predict the first, second, and third place boats in the exact finishing order.

Other Available Betting Ticket Types

Win　Bet on the boat that finishes 1st.
Place　Bet on the boat to finish 1st, 2nd, or 3rd. Payout varies depending on final position.
Exacta　Pick the 1st and 2nd boats in the correct order.
Quinella　Pick the 1st and 2nd boats in any order.
Tricast / Trio　Pick the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd boats in any order.

In boat racing, we recommend either the Exacta (2連単) or the Trifecta (3連単) bets. Other types generally offer lower payouts and are not highly recommended, though they may be suitable for first-time bettors.
