How does a Placepot work?

The Tote Placepot is a renowned raceday ritual, and is the bookie’s most popular bet. To win the Tote Placepot, you need to pick a horse to place in the first six races on any day of this year’s Cheltenham Festival.

How to win

To win the Placepot, you simply need to have a horse placed in the first six races of the meeting.

How many places on offer depends on how many runners are in a race and the same terms apply to the Tote Place pool.

For instance, four runners in a race will mean it’s ‘win only’ so your selected horse must win.

If there are 30 runners you will need to pick a horse that finishes in the top four.

Choosing your Horses

With the Placepot, it can pay to take on the favourites. The biggest dividends are won when the most popular horses fail to make the places – so if you think a fancied horse might have a chink in their armour, you should try and find something less popular to take them on with.

Equally, it is often wise to have a couple of favourites on your side, seen as single-line “Bankers” in suitable races.

Multiple Lines in a Placepot

You can select more than one horse in each race, but this will mean that your total stake will increase.

To calculate your total stake, just multiply the number of selections in each leg. For example:

• Leg 1: 3 selections
• Leg 2: 2 selections
• Leg 3: 1 selection
• Leg 4: 3 selections
• Leg 5: 2 selections
• Leg 6: 1 selection
• 3 x 2 x 1 x 3 x 2 x 1 = 36 lines

Your stake x 36 = Your total bet on the Tote Placepot.
