I'm not disputing any part of that. You must have had a $1 hit on the tri and a $1 hit on the super. Had you for some reason bet $2 on each winning ticket, you would have been paid $1200.

I don't bet Bodog, but from its rules, it looks like they are now capped only by a 'total win per race'. I can't find a reference to a 300-1 limit on exotics, but maybe I missed it. And maybe they used to have the 300-1 limit you experienced, but then switched to the Pinnacle model of capping the total amount of win.

I agree with Silver that you should never bet tri's at a book that caps the payoff unless you are absolutely certain your payoff will be under the cap.
