10 cent superfectas vs the 1 or 2 dollar

pdrift1 · #1 07-13-2006, 01:35 PM

my question to you all , mainly the bigger players is should there be a seperate pool and is this fair for the 10 cent players to take out of the same pool? and is thier a big disadvantage on getting a better payout on the 1 or 2 then with the 10 centers dipping in by being able to take more horses. never played it but wonder how this shakes out with you cappers and your feelings on this

I LOVE the $.10 supers !! but i'm not a big player.
3 weeks ago i hit 3 $.10 supers in 3 days! total payouts on the 3 were close to $250. i only had $7.20 in the 3 bets. not a bad return!

It is no different than the $2 win as opposed to the$1000 win bet.

i understand that but why do some handicappers complain about it then?

They are stupid to complain about it because all it does is benefit the superfecta player. Here is why

1) More stupid money in the pool, not alot of people played Supers because they are hard to hit, but when 1500 people throw in $3 for a .10 ticket, taht is another $4500 in the pool that generally wasn't there

2) Tax implications: All they have to do is play the ticket 10 times and you have it for $1.

Race 1 at Scav Downs comes up 1/2/3/4 and the super pays $605 per $1

Lets say person A plays a $1 super ticket 1/2/3/4

lets say person B plays 10 .10 super tickets 1/2/3/4

Person A is paying taxes and Person B is laughing at the person paying taxes because he avoids the $602 law because each of those .10 tickets only paid $60.50

....well, when someone has less than 2 bucks and have set up camp at the window it kinda gets me pissed off........i mean if you have less than 2 dollars give it up man.

Scav · #10 07-13-2006, 03:12 PM

It could be betting a million dollars a race or 20 cents a race, either way, you should be ready and just spit your wager out instead of screwing around at the teller.

Though, I am guilty of it sometimes, especially if I am unsure....98% of the time I just fire, but there is that 2% where I am normal and actually think out a wager

is thier any less of a chance of not hitting the pool by not being able to play as many horses or no? does it make them easier to take more horses and hitting more of the pool compared to the 2 bettor taking less horses because yourgoing to be more selective in your choices based on your capping so not to spend excess money to hit it but also decreasing your chances of hitting it?

jpops757 · #12 07-13-2006, 04:26 PM

We all like to blame someone else for us getting shutout at the wibndow or selfservice machine,but the real reason for the shut-out is ourselves. The bettor that goes to the window and gives the money to the clerk and then looks at the board is the real problem. Any capper should know his bet when he gets to the teller no matter the amount bet. The big bettors have a window reserved for them at every track or simo outlet.

Why do people wait to place a bet just a few minutes before the post anyway? I find it hard to believe everytime you get shut out the race you were going play hits everytime the way you bet it. Sometimes I say to myself hey he saved me money. I bet when most people get shut out they bitch,cry moan, and complain. On the flip side after being shut out have you ever went up to someone and thanked them for saving you money? Bet early on sure bets people, please for the love of god. They're betting just like everyone else so quit your crying. It's just like leaving home during rush hour to make it to an important event, leave early to make sure you make it on time.

Point of info......Hollywood 5th race .10 super paid 4600 and change...hubba hubba!

I couldn't hit a tri in a 3 horse race so I won't touch a Super

timmgirvan · #18 07-13-2006, 06:33 PM

more fuel for the fire...7th race .10 super....3613 dollars...you're talking about taking a flyer for less than $2...just my .10 cents,lol!

dellinger63 · #19 07-13-2006, 10:10 PM

everyone gripes when they lose. No complaints when they win. Love when someone hits a signer tri and bitches "I could have had the super!", and I could have been Bill Gates' kid. And they'll say only if Daddy didn't give the money away to prevent human breeding.... Woulda, Coulda, Shoulda.... Nature of the game!!!!
Play dime supers and spread out.....
I don't intead I play pic 3's, 4's with the rest of the "good" cappers but "you can't fix stupid!"
