In the genetics practice game, it always says how many combinations are possible and what the max payout is. However, I've noticed that sometimes (like today) it will have a max combination of maybe 16 with a max payout of 800ebs, but on the leaderboard I see players with way more combinations and greater ebs earned. Is this a bug, or is there a method to earning more from the genetics game even if there aren't that many combinations?

I might be mistaken, but I believe the two horses you get are assigned at random, and are not the same amongst all players. This means that some members can have combinations with very few answers, and some can have crosses with more answers than is alotted.

Gotcha, that makes a lot more sense! I assumed that there was one random mach per day and everyone got the same match.
