TheTote offer's UK Placepot betting on all UK race meetings. Similar to the Irish Placepot you must select a placed horse in all 6 Placepot races at your selected meeting. The UK Placepot races are always races 1 - 6 unless otherwise stated. For many, it is the ideal bet to keep an interest in throughout the day whilst only making a small stake. All Placepot's must be placed before the "off" of first race and dividends are declared after the last Placepot race.
How do I calculate the cost?
Calculating the cost of your Placepot bet is straightforward. Multiply the number of horses you pick in each race by each other. This will give you the number of units you have. Then multiply this figure by your selected stake. For example:
Stakes: Single line entries are accepted with a minimum stake of €1, rising thereafter in multiples of your selected stake, in this example €1. Permutation entries are accepted with a minimum stake of €1, rising thereafter in multiples of your selected stake, providing a minimum total of €2 is staked.
Horses can be selected by racecard number or horse name. Should the racecard number of an overnight declared runner be allocated to a reserve horse, the reserve horse(s) will be re-numbered sequentially in line with Tote Racecourse Cash Rules.
Should a Placepot race become a walkover or a specified race is not run or is declared void, the pool(s) will operate on the remaining Placepot races. In this event total stakes on permutation entries are applied in full to the remaining races. Where a selection becomes a non-runner it will be replaced by the Starting Price favourite.
Where there are joint favourites, the joint favourite with the lowest racecard number will be taken. Should the favourite be withdrawn before coming under Starters Orders and too late for a new favourite to be made, the horse returned at the next shortest price will be taken.
Where two or more horses are returned at the next shortest price, the one with the lowest racecard number will be taken. If no Starting Price is returned the first actual runner quoted in the Racing Post betting forecast will be taken. Should the Racing Post not publish a betting forecast, settlement will be made in line with Tote Racecourse Cash Rules. In the event of a Placepot pool being cancelled bets for the pool concerned will be void.
