Almost all greyhound tracks have super dime bets – super good bets that cost only ten cents per combination. For just a penny, you can bet four dogs in a row, and if they come that way, you win the entire pot. And if you’re thinking that you probably won’t get much of a reward for a dime bet, think again.

While it’s true that the jackpot isn’t usually huge, some dime supers pay out in the thousands! Best of all, on some tracks, many times the dime super is an “All” because no one picks one of the dogs. Now if that happens, you only need 3 of the 4 dogs in your Superfecta bet to cash out.

So, do you agree with the small bet that can pay off big? If so, strategy is very important. Your chances of hitting the super dime increase with every combination you play, but if you play too many, you lose the low price advantage of this bet.

The trick is to narrow down your options and then wager them in a way that maximizes your chances of winning and minimizes your risk of losing. How do you do that? Well, there are several ways to choose dogs and each bettor has to find the ones that work for him or her.

One way to do this is to pick a solid contender to stand out. Then find another dog that is very likely to be in the exact one as well. It’s also important that you don’t get carried away and spend too much money trying to win dime supers.

Don’t play one in every race. Choose breeds where you are pretty sure at least two dogs are accurate. It doesn’t hurt if one has very low odds, but if both are, the super may not pay much unless a true unlikely comes in third or fourth. Look at the exact and trifecta odds and pools.

That will give you an idea of ​​what a super will pay with your key dog ​​with other dogs you might want to include in your key super. At first it can be difficult to use the odds to calculate the payouts, but after a while it gets easier as you do it over and over again.

As long as you don’t get carried away and bet boxes on every race, dime bets can be fun and occasionally pay off.
