Commonly known as ‘tote betting’, totepool is the umbrella brand for a fantastic range of bets where winnings are calculated from the amount of money pooled into a particular race or bet type, and are shared among punters to a dividend calculated for every £1 staked.

All totepool bets are available at totesport.com, by phone, in totesport shops or at the race course itself. The following totepool bets are available:

Totewin – A hugely popular bet with 6million race goers every year, and is really just like betting on a winner at SP.

Toteplace – A unique totepool offering where punters can simply bet on a horse to be placed alone, or combine it with totewin into a traditional each way bet.

Toteexacta – Our version of the straight forecast. Simply predict the horses you think will finish first and second. You can also select a “reverse” exacta which pays out if your two selections finish first and second in either order.

Totetrifecta – If you’re feeling brave and think you can select the top 3 finishers, try the totetrifecta, a value alternative to the tricast.

Toteplacepot – Simply select a horse on each of the first 6 races on the card and if they’re all placed, you win! Dividends are declared to a £1 unit and regularly top four figures.

Totejackpot – Requires you to select the winner in each of the first six races on the card. Just like the National Lottery and the totescoop6, should no ticket holder pick all 6 winners the pool is rolled over to a meeting the following day, and can often result in big rollover winnings!

Totescoop6 – The scoop6 requires you to nominate the winner of 6 selected races screened live on Channel 4 racing every Saturday afternoon.
