All legs must hit. One failure = entire wager lost. Consider anchoring with a "safer" leg like Top 4.
The maths matters: Even if each leg has a 70% chance, three legs together drops to just 34% (0.7 × 0.7 × 0.7). The more you add, the harder it gets — that's why payouts look tempting but wins are rare.
