Mathematically with WP, you are trading some ROI for a higher hit%. This kind of diversification is debatable, but there are some arguments for it, including ability to manage a smaller bankroll without as much risk of random ruin(assuming that OVERALL play w/ all wagertypes is in fact +), and for many it could help mentally as there would be less losing days and streaks.
With the negative Superfecta play, I can't really make a case other than entertainment, and per the hit% argument, WP would be more effective w/out -Superfectas.
