CAN I IMPROVE MY CHANCES OF WINNING THE TOTE SCOOP 6?

Yes, by joining a Scoop 6 betting syndicate will greatly improve your chance of winning. Professional gambler and race horse owner
Harry Findlay is a member of a winning Scoop 6 syndicate. For example, if you we're to select just two horses in each of the
six Scoop 6 races (2x2x2x2x2x2xGBP 2) it would require a total weekly stake of GBP 128, so you quickly see the appeal
of splitting the cost with others. And if you can't find a syndicate to join, why not start one with family, friends or work colleagues?
Remember to draw up a written agreement, explaining rights and responsibilities, and ensure that every syndicate member is
given a copy which they must sign and date. There is nothing worse than falling out with your family and friends over money.
Taken to the extreme, it is not unusual for members of a betting syndicate to end up in court following a dispute over the
distribution of the money from a big gambling win. So ensure your syndicate has a written agreement.

HOW DOES TOTESPORT BETTING WORK?

All the bets placed on a race with Totesport are put in a pool, a deduction is made to cover costs and the Tote's contribution to UK
horse racing. The remaining sum of money in the pool is then divided by the number of winning tickets to give a dividend, including
a GBP 1 stake. Odds can fluctuate according to the pattern of betting, and no bets are accepted once the race has started. So if
you wish to help support British horse racing as well as having the chance of winning big prize money please bet with Totesport.
