because i'd imagine the pool that hit the dime super was filled by a lot more players than those that paid for the dollar bet. only thing i can figure. i have no idea.

I guess I've always assumed it's all put into the same pool... at least, any dime super I've ever hit (which isn't that many)... has always paid 1/10th of what the $1 payout was. Maybe they do things differently at Arlington.
