How does The Tote work?
The more people who back the winner, the lower the winning dividend.
The fewer people who back the winner, the higher the winning dividend.
When you bet with The Tote, instead of giving your money to a bookmaker, everybody’s money is pooled together. If your Dog wins you share the pool of money with the others who also backed it less the Totes deduction usually c. 29%.
What’s the difference between Tote and Fixed odds?
With fixed odds betting at a Bookmakers you will be offered a fixed price for your chosen dog. With Tote betting, your stake moneys enter a pool with all of the other bets placed on the race.
If your Dog wins the total pool amount, minus deductions, will be divided up by the total amount of winning tickets to produce the winning price or “Dividend”.
