2022 Belmont Stakes: Here’s how much you would’ve made with a $1 superfecta

The final leg of the Triple Crown, the Belmont Stakes, was absolutely thrilling as Mo Donegal won the 154th edition of the famous horse race in Elmont, New York.

Mo Donegal entered the starting gate with 5/2 odds to win and appropriately came away victorious.

Any bettor who took the initiative to place a bet on Mo Donegal has to be feeling good, but what if you were brilliant (crazy?) enough to correctly place a $1 superfecta bet?

To win a superfecta, a bettor must correctly predict not just the winner of the Belmont Stakes but also the second, third, and fourth-place finishers in the exact order. This year, that was Nest (5-1), Skippylongstocking (11-1), and We The People (4-1), respectively.

Getting all of those right, which would have been a truly unbelievable feat, would have netted a … modest payout, all things considered. With just a $1 bet, you would win $692.00. Uh, alright. I mean, that’s a PS5 (if you can track one down) or a new big-screen TV, right?

With Mo Donegal’s high odds to win, it seems fair to assume that there were more people than usual who won this superfecta bet. But at the same time, if someone did make that bet, they likely put more than $1 up.

All in all, someone, somewhere, still won a hefty sum of cash from the Belmont Stakes on Saturday.
