The 10 CENT Superfecta
The 10 CENT Superfecta may be the best bet on the wagering menu. While the Exacta and the Win wager lead the pack in terms of betting handle per each individual race, the 10 CENT Superfecta is wager that continues to gain in popularity. It can give you more bang for your buck.
There are three methods to be considered in putting together your 10 CENT Superfecta ticket. All are excellent ways to increase your strike race and return on investment.
The Lambrakis Method
We attribute this method to Paul N. Lambrakis, a serious Southern California handicapper. Hell, he wrote an excellent monograph (pictured above), The 10 CENT Superfecta Betting Guide. In it he delineates a method in which you eliminate horses without a chance, then work your way up from fourth position up to first position. As you work up from fourth to third you examine which horses will hit the board and place them in your third position. From third you determine which horses will hit the exacta. Finally from the second position you figure which horses will have a winning performance.
The monograph contains excellent charts that show what the cost of a ticket will be as you cobble it together. It is an excellent reference for the experienced 10 CENT Superfecta player as well as the novice horse player.

It is the simplest play as you put together four horses for a total cost of $2.40 or five horses for a total cost of $12.00.

For example, the top last out speed number combined with the top average speed figure for the last three races, and the top speed number at the distance.
