Before each race begins, your guests will place their best at the tote desk. A tote slip is given to the punter which are similar to shop printed receipts.
There are no limit to the number of bets each punter can make per race. Their spend per race is their choice.
Once the betting is closed, a race selector card is chosen by a guest and then the corresponding race is played.
After the race, the money collected from the race is split between the fund raiser and the winners.
See the example below.
How The Betting Works
We will use a 50% split. Tote tickets cost £1.00 each.
- Runner 1 sells 10 tickets = £10.00
- Runner 2 sells 8 tickets = £8.00
- Runner 3 sells 16 tickets = £16.00
- Runner 4 sells 4 tickets = £4.00
- Runner 5 sells 15 tickets = £15.00
- Runner 6 sells 16 tickets = £16.00
- Runner 7 sells 20 tickets = £20.00
- Runner 8 sells 15 tickets = £15.00
The total taken for the race is £104.00, therefore £104.00 is split 50/50.
The fund-raiser will take £52.00 and the winning ticket holders share the remaining £52.00.
If Runner 4 wins, the remaining £52.00 is split between the 4 winning tote ticket holders, which is £13.00 each.
