Personally, until I see real data, I can't get a handle on what lower minimums have done to payouts. I do know that it allows sophisticated bettors additional opportunities at more coverage, and does invite people who otherwise would not to get into the pools. The tax ramifications are also positive, so there's plenty to like.
If you isolate Derby weekend, the super goes to a $1 minimum, and I find it almost unplayable at that price point. That's just a personal opinion, which I think most of these are until someone produces actual research.
