BC supers
 
Great news! the Breeders Cup races will offer 10cent supers this year. I have been so waiting for this.

yes, but i believe you can only bet them in places that have the bet in place, which means not in NY

Of course you can only bet them on tracks that take them, and I don't think the major NY tracks have them.

but are you telling me you can't go to the OTB in NY and play 10cent supers on the CA tracks? if thats true I guess it sucks to be in NY.

that's what I thought.

I have a love/hate relationship with the dime super. It's great when you're at home and play it, but it's a nightmare when you're at the track and want to make a serious wager and there are 5 assholes in front of you who all are playing dime supers and they've never placed a wager before.

my statement was only with regard to the availability of the 10cent super, don't know what the other issues are, but taxes are ugly in many places, not only NY.

Yeah the new selfbet machines at Churchill were nice at first until the mouthbreathers figured out how to use them. Now you'll have some douchebag actually handicapping the race while making his wager. It's ridiculous.

i can't imagine trying to play it at the track, especially on a busy day. I play it almost exclusively at home...

at Arlington you come upon these old timers punching out 10cent supers for like 10minutes! and they're only spending like $5 if that. they do a lot of double checking and starting over.

of course it doesn't help that many of the self serve machines don't work very well, you have to strike the number on the corner or else it gives you a different number. it can be real maddening.
