Heh - saw that. Yeah, the tri and super both paid about half of what they figured to based on the win odds too.
As Boscar noted, when big bombs like that win, the gimmicks almost always come back light. Once you get up into those kinds of odds ranges, you're splitting hairs in terms of win probability (2% for a 50-1 shot vs. 1% for a 100-1 shot), so very small differences have a magnified effect in terms of odds.
