Could Tote World Pool Save The Future of Horse Racing?

Aug 26, 2023

UK horse racing fans set to see a transformation in the way they take part.

London, England, United Kingdom - August 26, 2023 /PR Fire/ —

The World Pool, in an exclusive partnership with Tote, gives UK horse racing punters the chance to bet with fans worldwide in one place, creating a multi-million pound pool betting experience that brings everyone together.

In pursuit of its goal of supporting and expanding horse racing, World Pool has announced the addition of four new race days (from 21 to 25), with new additions in Australia, Saudi Arabia, South Africa, and Ireland.

How Do You Bet On The World Pool?

If you hear World Pool you should think Tote. Bet into the World Pool by signing up to sign up to Tote.co.uk here or download the Tote betting app. 

There is incredible value to be found in World Pool given the size of the pools created and the diversity of views from racing fans all over the globe, for example:

  • Tote win beats SP 72% of the time at Tote.co.uk across 2022 and 2023 World Pool races 
  • Unlike traditional bookmakers Tote welcomes winning customers and never restricts customers for winning
  • With diverse opinions and horses and jockeys from around the world competing, there are always interesting betting angles and odds to be found on World Pool days 
  • The Tote’s typical overround online on a World Pool day is c.106%, versus c.115-130% with bookmakers

The seven bet types in World Pool are:

·    Win (Single Leg bet) – Pick the winner of the race

·    Place (Single Leg bet) – Pick a horse to be placed. Hong Kong place terms apply

·    Exacta (Single Leg bet) – Pick the first two horses in the correct order

How Much Money Does The World Pool Put Back Into Horse Racing?

Not only does World Pool help further internationalise the sport and shine the global spotlight on participating racecourses, it also generates vital betting revenue and increased media rights for the sport, in the region of £500,000 - £800,000 a day[1]. World Pool is a key part of the future sustainable funding of the sport.

World Pool Moment of the Day and Year provides £100,000+ in prizes for racing staff participating in World Pool. The World Pool Moment of the Day winning member of racing staff from this season’s 25 global World Pool days will have the chance to be named World Pool Moment of the Year and win a VIP trip for four to Hong Kong for either the 2024 Hong Kong Derby or 2024 FWD Champions Day. 

[1] “The World Pool days produce a major additional income for racecourses like Ascot – between £500,000 - £800,000 per race day which makes a major difference to the bottom line.” Winfried Engelbrecht-Bresges, CEO of Hong Kong Jockey Club, October 2021.
