That's something that's about as probably of winning as the Mega Million. Waste of money - in my opinion.
A $1 4-number box would cost $24. I maybe do a super pick 1 or 2 times on any day I'm at the track. I'll pick two favorites and then 2 horses with odds of 10 -15.
Losing $24 would limit the amount of money I have to gamble on any given day. Losing $2.40 or $4.80 on one or two 10 cent superfectas is no big deal. I've hit a 10 cent superfecta twice - once for $386 and another time for almost $200 - I forget the exact amount. Factoring in how much I've spent on 10 cent superfectas, my winnings have covered that expense and I'm left with probably 50% profit. It's really more for fun and staying within a budget as to how much I have to wager.
My real passion is chasing after tri-fectas. Did pretty good at Keeneland opening day and the day after - hit two on each day for a total of $720. Not always that lucky, however.
Ya know, what's right for one person isn't right for someone else, but that's the business of gambling. We all hopefully do what's right for ourselves and what we can afford to lose.
