The Tote Explained

The Totesport website offers a fantastic range of betting opportunities on all kinds of sports but has its roots in horseracing and all the "old favourite" exotic bets are still available on there.

The purpose of this article is to bring these to your attention.

The major difference between betting with the Tote and with a standard bookmaker is that you don't know for certain the price you are getting because it is pool betting.

This basically means that all the money gambled on a particular bet goes into a pool. The Tote takes out its percentage and the rest of the money is divided between the winning tickets.

As punters will still tend to be betting on the fancied horses, the returns near the top end of the market will normally be similar to SP but as fewer go for the outsiders, these returns can be considerably larger.
