Superfecta Math?
 

Please confirm that this math is correct

1,2 / 1,2 / 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 / 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12
1,2 / 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 / 1,2 / 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12
1,2 / 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 / 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 / 1,2
3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 / 1,2 / 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 / 1,2
3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 / 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 / 1,2 / 1,2
3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12 / 1,2 / 1,2 / 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12

$18 per 10 cent ticket, total $108 invested??

yea $18

Yes, it's correct.

Scav,

I think 2x2x10x10==$11.20

Isn't it technically 1x2x10x9 since the 1 and 2 are the same numbers and the 10 and 9 are the same numbers?

No, it's 2 x 1 x 10 x 9 which is $180 or $18 for a dime. You take one horse off the 2nd spot if they're used in the first spot

You are correct, sorry.

NTRA has the same one I think, I was just double checking.

The 'super' in the Derby is a fantastic play given the above. Last year the Super paid $29k per $1, with the Derby favorite, the wise guy horse, and two 10/1 (I think, can't remember exact odds, Drugs will complete that for me). And you had to think that BB was a major play in the top slot so that number amazes me.

I agree, but do you think they're going to offer a dime super? That's a good play but its a bit steep for $1080.

Last year you had Tale of Ekati 4th at 37-1, which helped the payoff immensely.

and denis of Cork @ 27-1

Bingo

Right, he certainly helped too. Scavs alluded to him as the "wiseguy" horse which he was to some extent after Haskin raved about his workout. Of course, Haskin raved about 20 different horses' workouts that week.

I bet the 2007 super
12
12
34
5678 cost $16

Street Sense/Hard Spun
Street Sense/Hard Spun
Curlin/Nobiz
and 4 longshots but no wildcrazyguy

Tale of Ekati was 37/1 last year? I thought he was 14-15/1, I can't remember.

Obviously $1080 is steep, but $108 isn't, I thought they offered the dime supers last year.

No matter what you have to think the super will pay good regardless of the finish, don't you think?

yeah, I was wrong....Odds were

2.40 / 13.10 / 27.20 / 37.40

Atleast one shot will make it into the top 4, I think if you hit you will def. make a little money and possibly a good score.

No, they didn't offer dimes last year. I was hoping that there would be something about it in the article about $0.50 Pick 4s but there was nothing.

If they aren't bragging about having it I doubt it is coming despite it being the single most logical race to have it.

This is the type of bet that needs its own machine
so all the guys that wear the numbers off the key
pads can wait together until 10 cent superfecta violence ensues.

Canes, wheelchairs, and prostetic legs will be the weapons of choice.

at least Scav has it all planed out

the guys who go up there and freestyle kill you

Heck I would freestyle also if I had that many numbers
written down. He must have a giant erasable white board
when he goes to Arlington. Thinks he is the UPS guy.

If a scratch occurs... does one kill themselves?
To get that many numbers in you gotta start
punching a week before they enter the gate.

Computers at home are good things.

Most of the big money I've made in thoroughbred and parimutuel wagering has been on trifectas and superfectas. I hold my own very well on straight win and place bets....being not afraid to play chalks in the right circumstances.

I have noticed at least at California tracks the trifecta and superfecta payouts have been diminishing when I'm paying attention. In fact it's been a long time since I played trifectas on "every day" races in NorCal, since the "big score" opportunity is nowhere what it once was.

I usually do play Supers on Triple Crown races as a lottery ticket type fun wager. I usually play between $200 and $450 or so, and have had little success to date. I have cashed a couple, but not more than $600 as I recall in the last 7 or 8 years.

My old days at the South Florida dog tracks I used to be a master of four digit super and tri payoffs. Really.


I do like the Scavs strategy with the $108 total wager.

In a twelve horse field, of course.

Thanks for sharing. I'll probably take that angle if available for the Triple Crown races this year.

I read somewhere there's no dime super this year. can't remember where.
