superfectas
Top-four finish bets
Superfectas is the plural of superfecta, a horse racing bet requiring the bettor to pick the first four finishers in exact order.
The difficulty of predicting four horses correctly means superfectas typically pay out large sums from small wagers: I hit a superfecta at the Kentucky Derby and won twelve thousand dollars on a two-dollar bet.
