10 cent supers

Anyone play these and find any value in playing them. They are now available at Churchill and you can box 4 horses for only $2.40. It seems like a good action bet but does anyone make money playing supers?

Seems like a good bet if you can get the fav off the board

I play them all the time, I think they're great, especially in big pools like Keeneland or Churchill. At this last Keeneland meet I had 2-3 IRS tickets based on 10cent plays. For example 10 cent payouts on the order of $600-$1,000. If you can find some live longshots it gives you a better chance at getting a good payoff because you can play a reasonable amount of combinations. It makes it much more affordable than a $1 minimum play.

I approve. Playing $15 tickets can/should get a couple hits each card. Highest I've hit was for a couple hundred. It's just a matter of time before we land a whopper, Baba.

The irs ones are the exception, I just mentioned it to demonstrate why I like them. You do have to be careful and make sure you don't play too many combinations and hit it only to break even, or lose money. I've seen people do that. But in that regard its the same as any other bet.

On opening day (5/4) at Arlington, I bet $2 to win on 4 horses in the 9th; I was saving my big money for May 5. All four came in at win, place, show and 4th. Had I bet a .10 super box, I would have won $3527 and an IRS form to fill out. Instead, I won $19.80.

From my point of view, I should have risked the $2.40. Would'a, could'a, should'a. That's my lot in life.

Its funny you should mention that. I noticed on opening day at Arlington that the majority of the supers paid out more than it cost to box the whole field.
Actually that is fairly common at Arl. People just play them without any imagination, favorite first, second and third betting choices boxed second and third, etc.
