.10 Cent Supers- Breeders Cup

I know that the BC having them would make me play them. $1 can get expensive, especially if you're having a bad day handicapping, but I'll take a shot at a 10 cent box or part wheel on them.
wish they had them at Belmont 2 yrs ago. having bad day, but nailed handicapping the turf with the four euros (but bankroll didn't allow me to play it due to losing in almost all of the prior races). For $2.40, I'd have boxed them in a heartbeat.

Like everyone else, there is just not enough data to say the the 10 cent wager dilutes the pool or winning tickets.

But it will certainly make anyone betting at Monmouth that day eleventy billion times more miserable.

That is so true.

I'm sure there will be plenty of tellers and windows open for an event of such magnitude.

Whenever I read threads about $.10 vs. dollar supers, I never read about anyone who bets in other units.

I play .50 supers because I can pay $24 for a $48 dollar super. I'd rather collect half the dollar payoff than a 10% payoff.

When I play exotics like pick 3's, 4's, tris and supers I want a payoff that will change my life, or at least boost the bankroll.

If a super pays $2k for a buck, I want $1k, not $200. I can get $200 with my win bets.

And yes I know that the $200 stated above would only cost $4.80.

Just my 2, er 50 cents.
