♠ The Tote aka Nanny Goat (official tote rules)
♠ TotewinTotewin bets operate on all races.
More than one Win selection can be made in each race.
Stakes : The minimum bet for a totewin is £1.
Totewin pool - when two horses dead heat for first place, the net pool will be divided into two equal parts. One part will be divided by the stakes on one horse and the other part by stakes on the other horse and a dividend will be paid on each horse. The same principle applies if three or more horses dead heat for first place. Should any of the dead heating horses be unbacked or partbacked, then the pool, or part pool, will be carried forward to the next appropriate totewin pool as dictated by totesport.
♠ Toteplace
Toteplace bets operate on races that have 5 or more runners.
More than one Place selection can be made in each race. The number of places in a race varies with the number of runners.
Up to 4 runners Place betting is not available
5, 6 or 7 runners 2 place dividends (1-2)
8+ runners 3 place dividends (1-2-3)
16+ runner handicaps 4 place dividends (1-2-3-4)
Stakes : The minimum bet for a toteplace is £1.
In races of less than 5 runners or where a toteplace pool is not operated, place bets are void.
toteplace dividends are calculated by dividing the net pool by the number of placed horses, i.e. 1, 2, 3 or 4. Each equal part of the net pool is then divided by the stakes on the placed horse and bets are paid in proportion to their stakes. If, for any reason, the calculated place dividend on any horse falls below 70p, money will be taken from the net pool on the remaining placed horses in equal shares to ensure that the minimum calculated dividend on any placed horse is not less than 70p. The balance of the net pool will then be divided equally amongst the other placed horses.
Should a placed horse be unbacked or part backed, the amount of the net pool assigned to that placed horse will be divided in equal proportion between the remaining placed horses which have been fully backed. Should none of the placed horses be backed, the pool will be carried forward to the next appropriate toteplace pool as decided by totesport. Should none of the placed horses be fully backed, the part pool will be carried forward to the next appropriate toteplace pool as decided by totesport.
toteplace pool - when two horses dead heat for first place they become first and second, if they dead heat for second place they become second and third; if they dead heat for second in a two-place betting pool, third in three-place betting or fourth in four-place betting, a dividend is paid on the dead heating horses. The amount of the pool allotted to these places is halved and each half is divided by the relevant stakes. The above method applies when 3 or more horses dead heat.
♠ Toteexacta
Toteexacta bets operate on all races of 3 or more runners and requires the selection of the first and second in correct order. Single entries are accepted with a minimum unit stake of £1, rising thereafter in multiples of 10p. Permutation entries are accepted with a minimum unit stake of 10p, rising in multiples thereafter of 10p provided a minimum of £1 is staked. Un-named selections (e.g. the favourite) are not accepted in toteexacta bets. A bet containing a non-runner will be void.
A Straight toteexacta bet requires you to select the first and second horse in the correct order.
Stakes : Single entries are accepted with a minimum unit stake of £1, rising thereafter in multiples of 10p. Permutation entries are accepted with a minimum unit stake of 10p rising in multiples thereafter of 10p provided a minimum of £1 is staked. Returns will be paid in accordance with the official dividend.
A Combination toteexacta bet requires you to select the first and second horse in any order. Any number of horses from 2 upwards may be selected. However, a Combination toteexacta with 2 selections only is commonly known as a Reverse toteexacta.
Stakes : Combination entries are accepted with a minimum unit stake of 10p rising in multiples thereafter of 10p provided a minimum of £1 is staked. Returns will be paid in accordance with the official dividend.
A Banker toteexacta bet requires you to select the winner and allows you to make multiple selections any of which may finish second.
Within the Banker Permutations any individual toteexacta bet containing a non-runner will be void but the others will stand.
Stakes : Single entries are accepted with a minimum unit stake of £1, rising thereafter in multiples of 10p. Provided that a minimum stake of £1 has been spent, unit stakes of 50p and £1 will be accepted. Returns will be paid in accordance with the official dividend.
Toteexacta pool - when two horses dead heat for first place they will be deemed to have filled the first two positions thus resulting in two winning combinations. The net pool will be divided into two equal parts and one half will be divided by the stakes on one winning combination while the other half will be divided by the stakes on the other winning combination. The same principle applies if three or more horses dead heat for first place or if two or more horses dead heat for second place. Should a combination be unbacked, then the pool will be carried forward to the next appropriate races as decided by totesport.
♠ Totetrifecta
To win the totetrifecta requires the selection of the first, second and third in correct order in a race of 8 or more runners nominated daily by totesport.
Bets for Straight, Combination or Win Banker entries or multiple entries are accepted up to the "off" of the race concerned - see details below.

If there are no winning combinations, then the pool will be carried forward to the next appropriate totetrifecta race as decided by totesport. If the pool is part won, the balance of the pool will be carried forward to the next appropriate totetrifecta race as decided by totesport.
Stakes : Single entries are accepted with a minimum unit stake of £1, rising thereafter in multiples of 10p.

♠ Totescoop6
A totescoop6 bet is available each week across six Saturday races, referred to as legs, designated by totesport. The legs may be from one or more race meetings that day.
Rules Summary
The lowest level of selection is one line of six horses, one in each leg, which costs the minimum unit stake of £2. However, any number of horses in each leg can be selected to make a permutation with each line of the permutation costing £2.
Bets must be placed no later than 5 minutes before the first of the six totescoop6 legs goes "off".
Each £2 stake unit goes into a central pool where it is divided into a Win Fund, a Place Fund and a Bonus Fund in the ratio of 7:4:3 respectively.
The Win Fund dividend is won by all players who have selected all six winning horses and each winner of the Win Fund is eligible to register, via the Bonus Race Hotline (see Rules Detail for telephone number), to qualify and play for the Bonus Fund the following Saturday.
The Place Fund dividend is paid to all players who have selected a horse placed in each of the six legs.
The Bonus Fund dividend is won by any player who, having won the Win Fund and subsequently registered to qualify, selects the winner of the totepool nominated Bonus Fund race on the following Saturday.
Rules Detail
Selection
Selections for each of the totescoop6 legs must be indicated by their racecard number, horse name or the un-named favourite. 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 totepool On Course Rules.
Starting Price Favourite
Should a selection be omitted or become a non-runner, the Starting Price favourite will be substituted. 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.

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 totepool On Course Rules.
Win Fund
To win a dividend from the Win Fund, the winning horse in each of the day's designated totescoop6 legs must be correctly selected. If there is no outright winner of the Win Fund, the respective portion of the pool will be rolled over to the next totescoop6 Win Fund as decided by the tote.
Win Fund winners having correctly selected each of the six winners of the totescoop6 legs qualify to compete in the Bonus Fund, see below, provided they register with the totescoop6 Bonus Race Hotline within the required deadline.
Place Fund
To win a dividend from the Place Fund, a horse on which a toteplace dividend would normally be declared must be selected in each of the day's nominated totescoop6 legs or where due to insufficient runners no Place pool is operated on a totescoop6 leg, the horse winning that leg must be selected. If there is no outright winner of the Place Fund, the respective portion of the pool will be rolled over to the next totescoop6 Place Fund as decided by totesport.
Bonus Fund
To win a dividend from the Bonus Fund the winning horse of the Bonus Race nominated by the tote must be correctly selected.
Those eligible to participate for the Bonus Fund must call the Bonus Race Hotline (0800 028 4418) to register as a Bonus Race qualifier before 6pm on the Thursday prior to Saturday's nominated Bonus Race. Failure to register will result in the claimant being unable to compete in the Bonus Fund. Claimants should also state if they have more than one winning line as they will be entitled to one entry per winning line.
Qualifiers who register to play for the Bonus Fund may be asked to agree to full media publicity. Qualifiers who agree to media publicity may be requested by totesport to appear at a racecourse or other venue in which case totesport will arrange and pay for reasonable transport and accommodation costs.
If there are no registered qualifiers for the Bonus Fund or no registered qualifier selects the winner of the Bonus Race, the Bonus Fund will be rolled over to future totescoop6 Bonus Fund(s) as decided by totesport.
The nominated Bonus Race will be announced by 12.30pm on the Friday prior to the Bonus Race and registered qualifiers must call the Bonus Race Hotline (0800 028 4418) again between 12.30pm and 6pm that Friday or on Saturday between 9am and one hour before the advertised "off" of the Bonus Race to place their bet selection (or selections if they have more than one winning line).
It is the responsibility of registered qualifiers to register their selections on the Bonus Race Hotline (0800 028 4418). In the event of a selection not being received before the required time, the Starting Price favourite, in accordance with the selection rules above, will be allocated.
Should a Bonus Race bet selection become a non-runner, registered qualifiers will have the option up to 30 minutes prior to the advertised "off" of the Bonus Race to make a new selection. Should no new selection be received or should a selection become a non-runner less than 30 minutes before the advertised "off-time" of the Bonus Race, then the Starting Price favourite, in accordance with the selection rules above, will be allocated.
In the event of the nominated Bonus Race not taking place or being declared void for any reason, totesport reserves the right to nominate an alternative race on the same or a future day as the Bonus Race.
In the event of a totescoop6 leg being declared void, the totescoop6 will operate on the remaining legs. Should totescoop6 be decided on less than six legs the Bonus Fund will not operate and that day's Bonus Fund (excluding any carry-over, which will be rolled over to future Bonus fund(s)) will be divided equally between the Win Fund and Place Fund.
Dead Heats
Dead heats for first place count as equal winners in regard to the totescoop6 win and totescoop6 Bonus Prize Funds.
Dead heats for first and other places count as equal winners in the totescoop6 place fund.
