Keep in mind that for 2 days, we have dollar supers, instead of the 10 cents supers that have ruined the bet for all except the outdoor bingo players. Lotta value out there in the super. You don't have to be right very often to show a profit, which is perfect for those who are seldom right, like myself.

Hopefully it will be in a 50 cent Increment. I know those smaller denominations hurt payoffs, but for someone on a budget like myself, they are much needed.

Andy Serling and I did a detailed analysis on the board last year about this ... but for the very last time ... lower bet minimums DO NOT decrease the payouts in the superfecta and similar pools.

Can you repost the findings?

10 cent Supers would be nice but I am at the track now and 80% of these people have problems placing $2 Win bets with tellers just imagine if they play 4 horses

Thank u Self Serve!!!

How does the Oaks-Woodford-Derby pick 3 pay $175 for a $2 bet, while the double paid $146? Is that a typo in the DRF charts?
