Tote Win Betting | Betting online with Tote Ireland
 Betting with the Tote on all Irish and UK racing couldn't be easier. You can bet with Tote Ireland online at www.thetote.com, by calling our call centre on 1850 238 669 or on-course at any of the 24 racecourses in Ireland.
Tote Win Betting
A Win bet requires you to select the horse that you think will finish first in the race. Without doubt, it is the most popular Tote bet as it is very straightforward. Whilst some people simply pick the favourite (horse with the shortest price) often an outsider with a bigger price can cross the line first, giving you more value for your Win bet.
If you are new to Tote betting you will notice that the Win odds are displayed as decimals. Whilst it may differ from traditional fractional odds, decimal odds just mean that your stake is included in your winnings, making it easier for you to calculate your winnings. For example if you place a €10 Win bet on a horse that is displaying a Tote price of €8.30 and the horse wins, you will be paid €83.
The minimum amount you can have on a Win bet is €1. The maximum amount per Win bet is €1,000.

Tote Place Betting 
A Place bet involves you selecting a horse to be placed in the race. This is a good bet when you fancy a horse but you think it is unlikely to win or beat the favourite. As you have more chance of picking a placed horse the Tote dividends are slightly reduced. On both thetote.com and on course you will find the projected Place dividend displayed on screen beside the Win dividend.
Place betting is available on all races with 5 or more runners. However, the number of places that the Tote pays depends on the number of runners:
Number of Runners Places
1- 4 No Place Betting
5-7 2 Places - 1st or 2nd
8-15 3 Places - 1st, 2nd or 3rd
16+ 4 Places - 1st, 2nd, 3rd or 4th on Handicap Races only
The minimum bet per selected horse is €1.00 and bet amounts can only increase in multiples of €1.00. The maximum wager per bet is €1,000.
The current minimum dividend for place bets is €1.10. However, in cases where the calculation of the dividend results in the dividend spendings exceeding the place pool, the Tote may recalculate the dividends as per Tote rules and in these instances may pay a minimum dividend of €1.02.

Tote Each Way Betting 
An Each Way bet combines both a Win and a Place bet. Each Way betting is available on all races with 5 or more runners. As an Each Way bet combines two bets it will cost you double your stake e.g. €10 E/W bet will cost you €20. i.e. €10 on the Win portion and €10 on the Place portion. As a result there can be more than one outcome:
For Example in a 15 runner race you place a 10 E/W bet on number 7. The Win dividend is €12.50 the place dividend is €2.20.
Result 1: Your horse finishes 4th
If your horse finishes outside the number of qualifying runners for a place (e.g. 8-15 runners we pay 1st, 2nd, or 3rd) then you lose your stake.
Result 2: Your horse finishes 2nd
If your horse finishes second then it has been placed. You lose the win portion of your bet. However, as it has placed you get paid the place stake. Using the above example you get €10 by your place dividend €2.20, thus you collect €22.
Result 3: Your horse Wins
If your horse wins you are entitled to the win and place portion of your bet. Using the above example you collect the following:
€10 Win x Win dividend €12.50 = €125
€10 Place x Place dividend €2.20 = €22.
Thus you walk home with €147 including your investment of only €20.
