superfecta
Top-four prediction bet
A superfecta is a bet in horse racing requiring the bettor to pick the first four finishers in exact order.
The difficulty of predicting four horses correctly means superfectas typically pay out at high odds: She hit a superfecta that paid eight thousand dollars on a two-dollar bet.
The term follows the pattern of exacta (first two) and trifecta (first three).
