Dime Supers Bet Calculation Chart
Superfecta bets that are played on a dime—rather than a dollar—base bet allow players greater flexibility in covering multiple combinations on a single ticket at one-tenth of the cost! Hinsdale Greyhound Park & OTB is the first pari-mutuel track in the nation to offer ten-cent minimum superfecta wagering. Below are charts that cover common superfecta betting strategies, showing the decreased cost of the new dime-based wagers. To calculate other superfecta costs and wager payouts from the traditional dollar standard, simply move the decimal point one place to the left.
Dime Superfecta Boxes (play a number of selections in every position so that all combinations are covered)
Box any 4 greyhounds $2.40 Box any 5 greyhounds $12.00 Box any 6 greyhounds $36.00 Box any 7 greyhounds $84.00 Box any 8 greyhounds $168.00 Box any 9 greyhounds $302.40
Dime Superfecta Keys (play a single selection in any position with the combinations you choose)
