What are the different Tote bets?
Single Race Bets
Single bets are bets that cover one race- for example, a win or a place.
The Tote Win and Place bets are the simplest bet you can place. Just pick a horse to win or place in a race.
Other more exotic type bets, such as the Tote Exacta or Tote Trifecta can yield big wins from a relatively small stake. To win these you must pick the first two, or first three horses home in the correct order.
Multi-leg Bets
Multi leg bets cover more than one race with the two most popular being the Placepot and Quadpot.
All bettors who make it through the six legs win a share of the overall pot.
You can do a Placepot for any meeting across the UK and Ireland with the Tote Placepot app.
