No dime supers for the Derby

[fpsoxfan]

I like playing Dime Supers, but I agree with this decision. I've said before and I'll say it again, imagine what the lines will be like at the Spa with NYRA now offering this wager.

Why would it take more time to punch in .10 supers versus $1 supers? Does it take longer to say "ten cents than one dollar"? There is an hour between posttime of the Woodford and the Derby. I find it hard to believe that there is not enough time to get bets in.

While I tend to agree with you, the counter argument would be that a dime super player rates to be less sophisticated.

I could also argue that the opposite is true in that case as well.

The more legitimate argument is that the dime super player rates to play many more combinations/tickets. Either way I don't agree they should be curtailed.

On Derby day the dime super player would be considered an expert compared to some of the big hat people.

True, imagine the lines out the door at the F.P. OTB branch.....with two machines and "Yak" they would go to Nelliston!

The bottom line is this. The people with alot of cash to not want to share the big hits with people who will be spending 500-1000 rather than thousands so they can keep all the cash for themselves. money going to money.... big surprize. I still dont understand the difference between an 700000 dollar super and maybe a 500000 for every dollar. just plan old greedyness. What else is new?
