TOTE’S World Pool makes its return to British racing for Guineas weekend.
The collaboration has been successful since its introduction to Britain back in 2019, and has gone from strength to strength since.
The common pool is good news for punters, with bigger and better returns as a result of going against fellow bettors across the globe.
Here’s all you need to know and why betting with Tote could prove financially beneficial.
The World Pool is a collaboration between several countries around the world.
It allows bettors to bet into the same pool as those from those countries on specific racedays.
Royal Ascot became the first British meeting to be part of the initiative back in 2019.
Tote have revealed the World Pool days for the first half of 2024.
Being able to bet into the same pool as the likes of Hong Kong, Australia, France and the US, this generates greater liquidity while also being able to go against fellow bettors from across the globe.
This means that punters can place larger, more significant bets without having an impact on a horse’s price.
For example, if you’d placed a £1 bet on each winner across 2022’s 17 World Pool days in Britain and Ireland, you’d have a 16% higher return compared to the usual, standard SP.
Significant differences can arise from the price offered on World Pool to that offered by the bookmakers, particularly with jockeys and trainers with international profiles generally being over-bet, with lesser known connections overlooked.
It’s simple to get involved in the World Pool.
Punters can do so via the Tote website and mobile app, bookmakers that offer Tote betting and on the racecourses themselves.
Bets placed with Tote go straight into the common pool, meaning punters don’t need to indicate that they want to be involved.
