Your Guide to Tote Betting

Having a flutter is part of the fun and excitement of your day at the races.

Betting with the tote is simple and easy to understand, with a fantastic range of different bets that offer great value and add to your enjoyment of the racing action.

The important thing to remember about Tote betting is that you are not betting against a bookmaker. Each bet operates as a pool - so just like the lottery, how much you win depends on how many other winning tickets there are.

While this does mean you can't 'take the price' as you would with the bookies, betting with the Tote often pays more. So check the live Tote information screens when placing your bet for an indication of how much you could win.

And unlike the bookmakers, the Tote actually wants you to win! Remember a bet with the Tote also helps to support the sport we all love, as all of their profits go back into racing.

Here is a quick guide to the different types of bets available:

You'll see that you have a much wider choice of bets available with the Tote compared to the bookmakers. And only with the Tote do you have a chance to win big money for a small stake, with their unique bets like the toteplacepot and millionaire making totescoop6.

Tote betting points are conveniently located in all areas, so you should always find one nearby wherever you are on-course. Friendly Tote staff will be on hand and are happy to help should you need assistance in placing your bet.
