It's called turning them upside down and shaking the change out of their pockets. Tracks are getting desperate and trying to immulate Casinos with penny slots. Let them leave with their pockets turned inside out. :cool:

I remember many a time in the past, that a $.10 gimmick bet, would've fit nicely into my budget :ThmbUp: ..... And there are some surprisingly good payouts at times.

Which tracks now have the 10 cent trifectas?

You guys kind of left us hanging and now having to guess which track now has the 10 cent trifectas

Thank you in advance for the answer.

[Zman179]

The only track I've seen with 10¢ tris is Retama Park. Is there another?

[cj]

The good thing about them is you can avoid signing IRS forms.

[Speed Figure]

If the tracks are getting desperate, tell them to let there customers in for free with free parking! :bang:

[whyhorseofcourse]

Why is 10 cent trifectas a joke?
some people cant afford the bets you can.
And how can you call it a joke if you play dime supers?

[FlyinLate]

I think it is a great idea.

It helps young, poor handicappers like myself. I'm in college on a limited budget, but love the races. Outside of major races, there isn't the thrill without even a small wager. Its much better for me to bet $1-2 a race than $6-8 when your bank roll for a weekend is only around $40. Not to mention it helps me better my game for when I finish school and have more money to wager.

What tracks offer 10c Tri's now? Was this a BC thing that I somehow missed? :bang: Or are there tracks offering these now?

The $.10 superfecta increased the superfecta pools dramatically. That's in my favor. It allowed players previously unable or unwilling to wager in the supers to do so. A $.10 super ticket that hit in the classic would have paid over $1000 (not IRS reportable, BTW). What's wrong with that. A $.10 trifecta hit on the same race would have paid over $200. I have been waiting for the $.10 tri ever since the $.10 super was introduced. This will be a great hedge bet. Wanna load up on a ticket with lots of long shots in it, cheap? Here's your chance.

A $.10 exacta? Same thing, bring it on! You exacta guys will love it.

Some poker sites have $.10 games. It allows the beginner to get involved, learn the game and maybe make a little money on the way. It also helps drive the industry. Horse racing could use some of that, wouldn't you say?

As a matter of fact, what would be wrong with a $1 WPS bet, or a $.10 WPS bet? Wanna get new players in the game? That would help, don't you think? The key is "action", the thrill of having a stake in the game, being able to participate in a great game. I welcome anything that accomplishes this.

By the time a small player puts together a full tri or super ticket, they are betting about the same amount that they normally bet on win tickets. From that perspective, it makes perfect sense.

You never know when today's small player might be tomorrow's bigger player.

They have penny slots in Casino's and $100 slots in Casino's. Makes no impact except to generate more revenue by reaching a wider audience.

If it is so easy to make money from 10 cent tri's, then people would be doing it for a buck. They'd just bite the bullet and increase their bankroll by any means necessary. Bottom line is it is just as hard to make a profit from 10 cent denominations as $1 denominations.Therefore the point of the "Oh no,10 cent tri's are going to kill the price" is just as mute as Beyer's predictions that his commercially available numbers,or the uniformity of sythetic surfaces would kill prices.

When are horseplayers going to realize,NOTHING,will bring down prices,unless you can eliminate the element of surprise,and that is impossible.

I believe calder used to allow 1 wps bets if I can remember right a few years back

great post raybo

can someone explain why tracks seem determined to take away the $.10 super on big racing days? it's never made any sense to me.

Maybe they want the payouts to be slightly bigger so the first time better can say wow what huge payouts I can potentially hit? I'm not really sure of the real reason myself.

Many amateur bettors attend on big days and love to play 10c supers - problem is they don't know how to do the combos.

NYRA, MTH and MEA allow 1$ WPS bets. My wife bets them like they are going out of style. But, to her credit, for a very limited $20-$40 bankroll, she gets a lot on action for her money.

[LottaKash]

A very good thread, and I believe that most here are in agreement that, $.10 wagers are of benefit to us all, and that the tracks should do their best to see that this element of wagering should not be lost......

best,

[Pace Cap'n]

If they won't take your $1 WPS bet at the window, try the SAM machine.

[FlyinLate]

Does anybody know what tracks offer 10c tri's?

[CyberBet]

Incremental wagering is coming trust me. You will be able to wager $2.47 soon if that is the last thing in you pocket. Why is this a bad thing? It allows players of all size bankrolls to participate. As it is now penny vouchers are being created with the dime supers. I would love to be able to wager thoses pennies instead of waiting until they add up to a figure I can wager. If I happen to lose those vouchers, the track and or state government is going to get them. With breakage already coming out, why not let me wager the pennies also?

CJ Sire is correct....The One time I got to the track...See I can't walk much....So I sent the Wife to place my wagers.......The Clerk on his quick break came running around and explained what CJ Sire just said.......So we worked it out differently from then on...We kept it simple and written legibly
