Tote Guarantee

Tote Guarantee ensures that all Win and the Win part of Each Way bets are settled at the higher value between the Tote price and the official Starting Price (SP).

Rest easy, knowing you'll always receive a payout equal to or greater than the SP, making your betting experience reliable and secure.

A variety of bets

Single Leg Bets

Win: Select the victor of the race.

Place: Pick a horse to secure a spot. The number of places depends on the number of runners.

Each Way: Get double the action with a Win and a Place bet on the same horse.

Exacta: Nail the 1st and 2nd in the correct order. Or go for a reverse Exacta, where your two selections can finish 1st and 2nd in any order.

Trifecta: Predict the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in the right order. Alternatively, try a combination Trifecta, where your selections can finish 1st, 2nd, and 3rd in any order.

Swinger: Pick two horses and have three chances to win. 1st and 2nd, 1st and 3rd or 2nd and 3rd.

Multi Leg Bets – More Excitement, More Chances

Placepot: Our most popular bet – pick a placed horse in the first six races.

Quadpot: Similar to the Placepot, choose a placed horse in races 3, 4, 5, and 6.
