There are different prizes and odds depending on which play type you choose and the combination of numbers you enter. A ‘3 Way’ wager is one in which two of your three numbers are the same and one is different, for example 112. It is known as ‘3 Way’ because there are three possible combinations of those numbers (112, 121, 211).
If you choose three different numbers, this is known as a ‘6 Way’ bet because there are six possible combinations. For example, the numbers 123 can also be ordered 132, 213, 231, 312 and 321. The payouts are higher for 3 Way wagers as there is less chance of winning.
