 You can play the Irish Jackpot with the Tote on any Irish race meeting. You must pick the winners of races 3, 4, 5 and 6. Perhaps one of the trickier Tote bets, however, it is also the most rewarding. Your Jackpot bet must placed before the "off" of race 3. Similar to the Placepot the Jackpot dividend is reflective of the number of favourites that win each race. Ideally, the less favourites that win the bigger your dividend will be.
How do I calculate the cost of my Jackpot?
Calculating the cost of your Jackpot bet is straightforward. Multiply the number of horses you pick in each race by one another. This will give you the number of units you have. Then multiply this figure by your selected stake. For example:
Race 3: 2 horses
Race 4: 2 horses
Race 5: 2 horses
Race 6: 2 horses
Thus 2x2x2x2 = 16 units
16 units at a €1 stake will cost you €16.
As you can see from the right hand panel, the Tote frequently offers Guaranteed Jackpot pools. Thus, giving you even more chance to win from a big pot of cash.
Jackpot Rules
The minimum stake on a single line Jackpot (i.e. a Jackpot where you have only selected one runner per race) is €1. The minimum stake for Permutation Jackpots (i.e. a Jackpot where you have selected various amount of runners) is €1, rising thereafter in multiples of €1. Jackpot dividends are declared to a €1 stake.
In the instance when there is no winner of the Jackpot, the total pool is rolled over to the next selected race meeting.
Non- Runners and withdrawn horses are transferred to the SP Favourite or in the case of joint favourites the runner with the lowest race card number.
