Part (3) Boxing Numbers in a Quinella Bet
Boxing
numbers in a quinella bet means that all numbers chosen
are put in every possible combination to provide a greater
possibility of correctly selecting the first two finishers.
If the numbers 1, 2, and 5 are boxed, the combinations
of 1-2, 1-5, and 2-5 are covered. As long as the first
two finishers involve the numbers 1, 2, or 5, the boxed
ticket is a winner. The more numbers used in a box,
the greater the number of possibilities covered. However,
the more numbers boxed, the greater the cost to cover
the wager.

A
simple rule to remember to compute
the cost
of a boxed quinella wager would be as follows:
number of horses to be boxed MULTIPLIED by
the next lowest number DIVIDED
by 2 ( because each bet is a combination
) MULTIPLIED by the dollar amount
of the wager. EXAMPLE: A five-horse
quinella box for $3 would be computed 5 (number
of horses to be boxed) x 4 (next lowest
number) DIVIDED BY 2 (because each
bet is a combination) x 3 (dollar amount
of the wager) = $30.
