Cheltenham Specials
 Cheltenham Festival week has finally arrived, and all the recent speculation over who will win what race will soon be over. One thing you can be sure of, however, is that Tote Account members will be getting more from their betting with us.
A look back on the last three years of this festival shows that the Tote paid better on over 2/3's of all races, and our average Win dividend beat the bookmakers too! We all remember when the outsiders win and the Tote pays a whopping price versus the bookies, such as Something Wells last year which earned Tote punters €48.70 versus €34 with the bookie. Let's not forget some of the shorter priced horses too, such as Cooldine where we paid €3.40 versus €3.25 from the bookie!
 For those races where we do pay less than the bookmaker, Tote members have the safety net of our Price Promise to fall back on, which guarantees we will match the bookmaker SP, so you can't lose! This is available on all Irish racing, and selected UK racing, including every race at the Cheltenham Festival this month! Here are some examples of where account holders benefited last year:
