Kev Matthews, Head of Racing at Tote, said: “Days like this are what the Tote Placepot is all about – a small stake can lead to a life-changing return, and today’s dividend of over £26,000 is a perfect example. We saw plenty of favourites turned over and a real mix of results, which gave Placepot players a rollercoaster ride all the way through to the final leg. Huge congratulations to those who landed it.”
The Placepot, requires punters to pick a placed horse in each of the first six races where it remains one of the most popular bets in British racing.
Tens of thousands play it every day at Royal Ascot with continued players throughout the year, this huge result for customers demonstrates the unique excitement and potential rewards of pool betting.
What is a Placepot?
The Tote Placepot is a renowned raceday ritual, and is the bookie’s most popular bet. To win the Tote Placepot, you need to pick a horse to place in the first six races on any day of this year’s Royal Ascot Festival.
How to win
To win the Placepot, you simply need to have a horse placed in the first six races of any day of the Festival. How many places are on offer depends on how many runners are in a race and the same terms apply to the Tote Place pool.
Choosing your Horses
With the Placepot, it can pay to take on the favourites. The biggest dividends are won when the most popular horses fail to make the places – so if you think a fancied horse might have a chink in their armour, you should try and find something less popular to take them on with.
Equally, it is often wise to have a couple of favourites on your side, seen as single-line “Bankers” in suitable races.
Multiple Lines in a Placepot
You can select more than one horse in each race, but this will mean that your total stake will increase.
To calculate your total stake, just multiply the number of selections in each leg. For example:
Leg 1: 3 selections Leg 2: 2 selections Leg 3: 1 selection Leg 4: 3 selections Leg 5: 2 selections Leg 6: 1 selection 3 x 2 x 1 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 36 linesTote Betting Offer: Bet £10 on racing get £30 in free bets + 20 free spins – CLAIM HERE*
