Tote World Pool heads for Newmarket on Saturday with punters to benefit from big money pools

WORLD POOL makes its return to British racing on Saturday with punters set for big value at Newmarket.

That tends to mean bigger payouts as bettors in this country contribute to a larger worldwide pool, with the returns beating the price offered by standard SP on plenty of occasions.

For those not aware, the World Pool is a collaboration between several countries around the world.

It allows bettors to bet into the same pool as those from those countries on specific racedays.

Being able to bet into the same pool as the likes of Hong Kong, Australia, France and the US, generates greater liquidity while also being able to go against fellow bettors from across the globe.

This means that punters can place larger, more significant bets without having an impact on a horse’s price.

Significant differences can arise from the price offered on World Pool to that offered by the bookmakers, particularly with jockeys and trainers with international profiles generally being over-bet, with lesser known connections overlooked.

This week, World Pool will operate in the first four races from Newmarket, including:

• 1.30: Newmarket – 1m2f
• 2.05: Newmarket – 6f
• 2.40: Newmarket – 1m4f
• 3.15: Newmarket – 1m Group 1

While the World Pool treble will be in place for races 2-4, which is World Pool’s only multi-leg bet – picking the first horse in three separate races.

It’s straight forward to get involved in the World Pool. Punters can do so via the Tote website and mobile app, bookmakers that offer Tote betting and on the racecourses themselves.

Bets placed with Tote go straight into the common pool, meaning punters don’t need to indicate that they want to be involved.

Tote have also revealed their Placepot minimums for the weekend with Ascot featuring a £100,000 and £150,000 guarantee on Friday and Saturday, respectively.

Uttoxeter will be £50,000 on Sunday and Wolverhampton likewise on Monday.
