They are more worried about creating new bootleg ass wagers then they are about being able to bet their damn signal.

it is like the over/under bet, takes $500 IF THEY ARE LUCKY.

Have fun with that $100 they get from takeout. HAVE FUN...

I would never play it - but that bet is actually kind of interesting.

this is from the people that hate the .10 super because it is too confusing. I read the story 3 times and i still dont know what the hell the bet is or how you are supposed to determine what it pays.

They should try to hire someone that has been a player, or at least knows what players want. Just another gimmick from the dumbest company in a very dumb industry.

You get 60 cents on each combination, so if you pick the 1,2,3, you get 60 cents each to win on them, then you get the 1,2,3 exacta box for 60 cents and then a tri box for 60 cents....It is CLASSIC retardedness....

Seriously, how do buffoon's with ideas like this get jobs, when someone with some common sense like myself can't get a whif?

I thought the super hi 5 was idiotic, but this takes the cake... why wouldn't you just save the 3 bucks and tri box the same 3 horses for a buck? So you can cash that monsterous .60 exacta and win ticket?

I remember going to Churchill Downs. Good times. I'll miss that place.

1 WPS
2 WPS
3 WPS
1-2-3 EX
2-1-3 EX
2-3-1 EX
3-1-2 EX
3-2-1 EX
1-2-3 TRI
1-3-2 TRI
2-1-3 TRI
2-3-1 TRI
3-1-2 TRI
3-2-1 TRI

15 bets and chance to loose 15 of them or 13 bets if you hit exactly the right order of finish. For example if it comes in 1-2-3 you loose 5 ex bets, 5 tri bets, 2 win bets, and 1 place bet.

Wow, this is exciting!

I also thought the same thing about the Super Hi 5, but I was completely wrong, it is a huge hit all over the place. But the Hammer created that, and he actually has a clue.

So far we have seen the O/U and this crap from churchill....Seriously, even I couldn't make this up

They've already given up on the over/under bet, though it died a very slow, painful death. I'm sure they'll be just as obstinate in keeping this around long after it proves to be of no interest. What galls me is that they offer crap like this but won't give bettors the dime super that so many want on Derby day. Jerks.

Why in the **** would I want SIXTY CENTS to win on horse? If the 2/1 that I added in there, I am getting back 1.80

I would probably refuse to cash the ticket

They are doing their best to show everyone why the company isn't successful.

It doesn't include place or show wagers.

Who bets on three horses to win in the same race?

Wow, then I'm stumped. Where do you get 15 wagers from then, you're right Cannon I have no idea.

You almost had it - but it's not 3 wps bets (that would be 9 bets - not 3)

3 win bets
6 exacta combos
6 tri combos
