Are you mad? 120 is the answer.
Report seary March 11, 2013 5:12 PM GMT
what 3 horses to finish in ANY order FROM 6...120 is not the answer

Thanks for confirming that you are indeed mad.

seary - give up.

You can't pick a winner even when someone tells you what the result is.

If you state tricast then it has to be in the correct order and is 120 bets.
Report seary March 11, 2013 5:26 PM GMT
ok mad for doing the bet maybe...
but please tell me how the hell you came up with 120 lines for any of 6 horses to finished in the first 3 of any order??
your the mad one!
Report seary March 11, 2013 5:27 PM GMT
so you not heard of a conbination tricast any of 3 horses to finish in any order?
Report Areyoutalkintome? March 11, 2013 5:28 PM GMT
Seary it is correct (6x5x4)
Report ged March 11, 2013 5:29 PM GMT
Ok - suppose your horses are a,b,c,d,e,f

Suppose between them they fill the first 3 places.

You want to collect no matter what order they finish in.

Here are the possibilities with 'a' winning:-

abc
abd
abe
abf
acb
acd
ace
acf
adb
adc
ade
adf
aeb
aec
aed
aef
afb
afc
afd
afe

Count them. there's 20 combinations, and that's just with 'a' winning.

Now multiply by 6, because any of the 6 could have won.

It IS 120 ....

Now go and buy a Scratchcard, instead  - "mad one".

To paraphrase Eric Morecambe......
