Why wouldn't they? It's the perfect bet for a novice. Cheap, a long shot to hit, but with a potentially large payout.

The fact that it's complicated wouldn't preclude newbies from trying to bet it. Have you ever been in a betting line at the Derby? It's Japanese Water Torture without the cool refreshment.

Can't speak for everyone, but I wager fairly often and hardly ever play superfectas, but the dime super is intriguing to me, and is something I'd definitely be playing on Derby day.
