You are asking the question that I struggle with the most and particularly in this race.

Here is an idea on Trifectas based on your views:

A
A+B
A+B+C

36 bets x 3 units

A+B
A
A+B+C

36 Bets x 2 unit

A
A+B+C
A+B

36 bets x 1 unit

If a unit equals 50 cents, then the total comes out to $108. Take note, these bets overlap. If it runs AAB, and you made those bets, you would cash for 6 bets of 50 cents each.

This is just an idea -- i totally struggle with this issue.
