Horse RacingThere are plenty of ways you can place a wager on horse racing, however instead of placing a bet in the standard way i.e. putting your money down at a bookmakers shop or online betting site and taking the odds offered, how about placing one via the Tote Pool service, there are plenty of bets on offer!

The Tote Pool is a unique range of betting opportunities on which your stakes are being added to the prize pool, and as such once the outcome of any horse race has been decided, then all winners placing one of several different horse bets, will receive an equal share of the prize pool, less of course the standard commission taken by the organiser of the Tote Pool who removes their commission and will then declare the winning dividend that each winners gets paid.

Below we have listed all of the current different types of Tote Pool bets that you can place, have a good look over this listing for one or more of the following bets may just appeal to you!

Placepot – The Placepot wager is probably one of the most popular Tote Pool bets you can place, you need to pick one horse from six races at one racecourse and if all of the horses you select either win or are placed then you will win a share of the prize pool, which depending on which horses win, can be a rather large winning payout!

Jackpot – The Jackpot Tote Pool bet is almost identical to the above type of wager however from those six races at just one racecourse you are tasked with picking the winner of each race run. This is a little harder to predict than the above bet, however the winning payout awarded is often much higher and as such is worth winning!

Quadpot – The Quadpot bet is a rather unusual bet in as much as you are tasked with picking the winner in four races. These races are all held at one racecourse and they are the third to sixth races. Picking all four winners in those respective races will guarantee you get a winning payout, but you do have to get all of them to get a share of the Quadpot prize pool.

Exacta – If you like the look of two horses running in any UK horse race and you think one of those horses will finish first, and the other one is going to finish second then you can place a wager on your predication by placing an Exacta bet. As long as your two horses finish first and second in the order you select then you are guaranteed to get a winning payout!

Trifecta – A Trifecta is very similar to the above type of Tote Pool bet, however when you place this type of wager you have to select the horses that are going to finish first, second and third. If you three horses end the race in the finishing positions you predicated then you will win a share of the prize pool instantly!

Win/Place – If you place a Win Bet then you horse named has to win the race. However, if you select a Place Bet then as long as your selected horse ends in one of the placed positions then you will pick up a share of the prize pool.
