Maybe make the triple a buck again too. Triples pay nothing since they went to half a buck. Make the super a half a buck. Let the bingo players go play bingo . Surprised it took them this long to go late pick 5, but it should be here to stay

I used to play Supers on all Derby preps 3x6x6x6 ticket. Time was I'd hit 3 or 4 and be out for the meet. Stopped a couple years back as I could no longer be profitable due to the extra coverage people are getting at a dime and the payouts shrinking. I think these lower entry points are driving whales from the game. Seems people are still betting the same amount and getting double the coverage pushing prices down well below half of what they used to be. I plan on researching this over the winter.

.20 cent super's and high fives.

$1 minimum pick 3, 4, 5, and 6

$2 minimum exacta's and trifectas for tracks that typically run 5-8 horse fields.

But all of this is just wishful thinking. The decision makers in this sport are similar in habits with sea turtles.
