Default 10 cent superfectas vs the 1 or 2 dollar

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.

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
