Run for the Roses
You can get as crazy as you want betting the 134th Kentucky Derby May 3. Here’s a real popular prop, one that’s also budget friendly—the 10-cent superfecta. For $12, you can box five horses and get a sliver of the superfecta payout. How good was it last year? The 10-cent super was worth nearly $1,500 in a race during which favorites ran unusually well. Remember to respect the horses coming off the pace and that millions of dollars change hands in the last quarter of a mile. No horse in the race has ever gone this distance, so false favorites abound. Another strategy: take two of the five horses you box in the super and place them with three others in a separate ticket. For $24, you have a nice value pack. If the two horses you liked hit the top four, you have six other entries aimed at the other two spots.
Casino Connection Sports Editor Dave Bontempo will broadcast the event in Primm and the Mosley-Judah fight for HBO International.
