You have to figure out how much you are cutting your payout. If you have a $100,000 trifecta pool at a 22% take, that means they are paying out $78,000. If your $50 trifecta pays $40 for 1 that means there were 78000/40 or $1950 in winning tickets. To figure what the payoff would be if you only bet $20, take the 78000/1920(technically you should deduct the $30+the takeout from the pool size-but I am just trying to limit your work) and you get back $40.625, so in this instant you know exactly how much it cost you to hit it for $50 for $20. Plug in the numbers for the tracks you play, weigh the cost percentage wise relative to your profit margins and based off that info you can make the right decision. Obviously every trifecta pool is different but do this over 20 to 30 winning trifecta races and you will get a fairly good idea of what will work best for you and of course it will vary from track to track.
