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.

Tote Betting V Standard Betting

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.

totejackpot

Pick 6 winners to hit the jackpot!

This is clearly a very difficult bet to win and no small amount of luck is needed but the chances of winning are still much better than the Lottery!

  • Available for a featured race meeting each day.
  • You must pick the winner of the first six races at the day's totejackpot meeting.
  • Look out for big rollovers throughout the week.

toteplacepot

Pick 6 placed horses (races 1-6).

The totejackpot's little brother, easier to win but obviously, as there are more winners, the prize is lower. Still a tidy sum for a small stake however!

  • Racing's favourite bet.
