Do you know how 10-cent superfecta payoffs are calculated? The payoff is 10% of what the $1 superfecta pays, but in actuality, the $1 superfecta pays 10 times the 10-cent superfecta. To facilitate the calculation of payoffs all superfecta bets are broken down to a 10-cent base (a $1 superfecta is considered to be ten 10-cent bets) and then a calculation is made to determine the 10-cent payoff. Once determined, this amount is then extrapolated (multiplied by 10) for the purposes of posting a $1 payoff.
There is one glitch - a $1 superfecta payoff is posted even if there were no $1 tickets sold. This leads to the posting of bogus $1 superfecta payoffs. For example, last fall at Oak Tree a $1 superfecta payoff was posted as $260,000, which was over four times more than what was in the entire pool! The $1 payoff should have been posted as �0� since the only winning tickets were 10-cent ones at $26,000 each. The problem is being worked on. |
