AIM OF THE BET
(i) To select the winning horse in each of 6 specific races nominated by Tote in order to qualify for a dividend from the totescoop6 win fund.
(ii) To select a horse to be placed in each of the same 6 races in order to qualify for a dividend from the totescoop6 place fund.
(iii) Winners of the totescoop6 win fund who have correctly selected the winning horse in all 6 legs of the totescoop6, to select the winner of the bonus race on a later day nominated by Tote in order to qualify for a dividend from the totescoop6 bonus fund.
With regard to the totescoop6 place fund, the finishing positions which constitute a place in any leg, unless otherwise stated, are as follows:
2 - 4 runners 1st
5 - 7 runners 1st & 2nd
8 - 15 runners 1st, 2nd & 3rd
Non-handicap of 16 or more runners 1st, 2nd & 3rd
Handicap of 16 or more runners 1st, 2nd, 3rd & 4th
RACES ON WHICH POOL IS OPERATED
The totescoop6 operates every Saturday and occasionally on other selected days as indicated in the national and sporting press.
Any funds carried forward are rolled over to the next totescoop6 pool within the same respective totescoop6 sequence. This is usually 7 days later unless indicated otherwise in the national and sporting press.
BET STAKES
GBP
Minimum unit stake = £2, Minimum total stake = £2. Permutation bets in units of £2 are accepted.
The core totescoop6 unit is based on this 2GBP stake (“core unit”).
Other currencies
Other currencies can be used to play the totescoop6, but all the dividends are calculated based on the total value of the pools divided by the total value of successful units where each core unit has a value of 2GBP. Currency conversions will result in partial unit values in this calculation.
Euros
Minimum unit stake = €2. Minimum total stake = €2. Permutation bets in units of €2 are accepted.
Example 15
Euro:GBP exchange rate = 1.25:1
One €2.00 Scoop6 ticket = 0.8 core units
PLACING BETS
Minimum unit stake = £2, Minimum total stake = £2.
Permutation bets in units of £2 are accepted.
POOL DEDUCTION RATE
UK Tote pools 30% (The net pool is therefore 70% of the gross pool).
CALCULATION OF DIVIDENDS
The totescoop6 pool will be allocated to four different funds: totescoop6 win fund, totescoop6 place fund, totescoop6 bonus fund, and totescoop6 starting fund, in the ratio 14 : 7 : 5 : 2 respectively.
The totescoop6 win fund, totescoop6 place fund, and the totescoop6 bonus fund are prize funds. The totescoop6 starting fund is held in reserve to be added to the totescoop6 win fund at a later time. A more detailed explanation of how the totescoop6 starting fund operates can be found below.
The total of the money invested plus any money brought forward into any fund will form the gross fund, unless one or more legs are abandoned or declared void (see rule below).
If any fund is guaranteed to a particular amount, then this amount shall form the fund unless the total of the money invested plus any money brought forward in that fund is greater than the guarantee.
Each net prize fund is divided by the total number of winning units in that fund to obtain a calculated dividend. All non-GBP foreign currency entries are converted into core units based on the current prevailing exchange rate at the commencement of the pool as denoted at www.xe.com versus the GBP ticket price.
The calculated dividend is rounded down to the next 10 pence to obtain the payable dividend declared to the stake unit. In any event, the minimum totescoop6 dividend will be £1.10.
Only one dividend is declared for each prize fund.
If there is no outright winner of the totescoop6 win fund or the totescoop6 place fund, the respective portion of the gross pool will be rolled over to the next totescoop6 win fund within that same sequence of totescoop6 pools.
Note that any guarantee is disregarded for the purposes of carry-forwards.
WALKOVERS/VOID/ABANDONED RACES/MEETINGS
If any leg of the totescoop6 is a walkover, or is void, or is abandoned, or there is no official result declared for any reason, and is not re-ran on the same day, then the totescoop6 win fund and the totescoop6 place fund will be settled on the remaining legs, i.e. every selection in that leg is deemed to have been successful in both the totescoop6 win fund and the totescoop6 place fund, provided at least one leg of the bet takes place.
If the totescoop6 bonus race is void, or is abandoned, or there is no result declared for any reason, and is not re-run on the same day, then all registered qualifiers will be entitled to make a selection in an alternative bonus race to be nominated by Tote.
If the totescoop6 bonus race is reduced to a walkover, then the race is considered to have taken place for the purposes of all funds of the totescoop6, and all tickets in the totescoop6 bonus fund will be deemed to have been successful.
If none of the legs of the totescoop6 take place, the pool will be declared void and all stakes refunded.
Provided at least one leg takes place, a dividend will be declared for the totescoop6 win fund and the totescoop6 place fund, in accordance with these rules.
If one or more legs are abandoned or declared void, whether before or after the first leg has begun, the funds will solely be comprised of money invested on that day’s totescoop6 pool. Any stakes brought forward to the totescoop6 win fund from a previous totescoop6 win fund or totescoop6 place fund, or any stakes brought forward to the totescoop6 win fund from the totescoop6 starting fund, will roll directly into the totescoop6 win fund of the next such pool in which all six legs take place. In addition, winners of the totescoop6 win fund will not be eligible to go for the bonus fund. The day's stakes which would otherwise have been allocated to the bonus fund will be re-distributed between the totescoop6 win fund and the totescoop6 place fund in the appropriate ratio shown above. This excludes stakes brought forward in rollovers from the previous totescoop6 bonus fund within the sequence, which will rollover directly to the next totescoop6 bonus fund within the sequence.
MULTIPLE SELECTIONS, BANKERS & PERMUTATIONS
Permutations are permitted. To calculate the number of permutations, customers should multiply together the number of selections in each leg.
INSUFFICIENT FINISHERS
If in any leg the official number of finishers is fewer than the number of standard places, only the runners which finish will be deemed to have been placed for the purposes of the totescoop6 place fund.
If in any leg the official result is there are no finishers, the win fund and place fund will be settled on the remaining legs, i.e. every selection in that leg is deemed to have been successful.
If in the bonus race the official result is that there are no finishers, all registered qualifiers will be entitled to make a selection in an alternative bonus race to be nominated by Tote.
DEAD HEATS
With regard to the totescoop6 win fund, in the event of a dead-heat for first place in any leg of the bet, all such dead-heating horses are considered to be full winners in that race.
With regard to the totescoop6 place fund, in the event of a dead-heat for any position which constitutes a place in any leg of the bet, all such dead-heating horses are considered to be fully placed in that race.
With regard to the totescoop6 bonus fund, in the event of a dead-heat for first place, the bonus fund will be divided into as many equal parts as there are dead-heating runners. The part of the fund allocated to each dead-heating horse is divided by the total number of tickets on that runner to obtain a calculated dividend for each dead-heating horse. If a dead-heating horse is not covered by any tickets, then the proportion of the bonus fund allocated to that dead-heating horse will be carried forward.
TOTESCOOP6 STARTING FUND
In any totescoop6 pool, 5% of the amount invested will be allocated to the totescoop6 starting fund. These funds will be held in reserve until after the totescoop6 win fund is next won where all six legs have taken place. At this point, the entire amount held in the totescoop6 starting fund will be carried forward to the next totescoop6 win fund where all six legs take place, in order to boost the size of that fund.
TOTESCOOP6 BONUS FUND
Totescoop6 win fund winners who have correctly selected each of the winners of the six totescoop6 legs will qualify to register to compete in the totescoop6 bonus fund. Claimants must call the totescoop6 bonus race hotline on 0800 028 4418 (or such other number as announced by Tote in the national and sporting press) with their winning receipt, to register as bonus race qualifiers. Claimants should also state if they have more than one winning line as they will be entitled to one entry per winning line. Claimants may register on any day prior to the bonus race, but the deadline for registration is 1 hour before the publicised ‘off-time’ of the nominated bonus race. Failure to register will mean the claimant will not be eligible to compete for the totescoop6 bonus fund.
The nominated bonus race will be announced the day before the bonus race is scheduled to take place. Registered qualifiers must call the bonus race hotline on the day of the bonus race anytime from 9am up to one hour before the bonus race publicised 'off-time'. It is the registered qualifier’s responsibility to register their selection (or selections if they have more than one winning line). Should no selection be received within one hour of the publicised 'off-time' of the bonus race, registered qualifiers will be allocated the starting price favourite in accordance with these rules.
Claimants may register as a bonus race qualifier and state their selection(s) in the bonus race at the same time provided this is done no later than 1 hour before the bonus race publicised ‘off-time’.
Tote may contact qualifiers for the totescoop6 bonus fund to request their participation in media publicity, although agreement to participate is entirely at the customer's discretion.
Totescoop6 win fund winners will only qualify for a chance to win the totescoop6 bonus if all six legs of the totescoop6 have taken place. For the purposes of this rule, walkovers are considered to have taken place; any race which is ran but subsequently voided is considered not to have taken place.
If there are no qualifiers for the totescoop6 bonus fund, the fund will be rolled over to the next bonus race within the sequence as decided by Tote.
If no one selects the winner of the bonus race, the totescoop6 bonus fund will be rolled over to the next bonus race within the sequence as decided by Tote.
In the event of the nominated bonus race being void or abandoned and not re-ran on the same day, Tote reserves the right to nominate any future race on any day as the bonus race. All registered qualifiers will be entitled to make a new selection.
Should a bonus race selection be a non-runner, registered qualifiers will have the option to make a new selection on condition that no new selection can be made within 30 minutes of the publicised 'off-time' of the bonus race. Should no new selections be received or should a selection become a non-runner within 30 minutes of the publicised 'off-time' of the bonus race, registered qualifiers nominating the non-runner will be allocated the starting price favourite in accordance with these rules.
Payment will be made on the official result on the day, once the weighed-in has been announced.
The Bonus fund dividend will be decided by dividing the totescoop6 bonus fund, by the total value of successful core units.
Example 16
If one £2.00 and one €2.00 are successful where the exchange rate EUR:GBP = 1.25:1 and the Tote Scoop6 bonus fund is 180,000GBP:
£2.00 = 1 core unit
€2.00 = 0.8 core unit
Total = 1.8 core unit
Dividend calculation = 180,000 / 1.8 = 100,000
£2.00 holder receives £100,000
€2.00 holder receives €100,000
Partial rollovers when won by less than 1.00 core unit
If less than one full core unit is successful in any totescoop6 pool, the dividend will be declared as the same value as if one whole core unit was successful, with the un-won remainder of the pool bonus fund carried forward to the relevant fund in the next totescoop6 sequence.
Example 17
If just one €2.00 were successful and the exchange rate EUR:GBP = 1.25:1, the dividend would be declared as though a full core unit had won.
If the totescoop6 bonus fund was 180,000GBP
Dividend calculation = 180,000 / 1 = 180,000
€2.00 holder receives €180,000
€180,000 = £144,000
£36,000 partial rollover is carried forward to the corresponding pool in the next totescoop6 sequence.
GUARANTEES
Where Tote offers a guarantee in the totescoop6 win fund, then such guarantee shall not apply where one or more of the 6 legs are abandoned, void, or no result is returned for any reason, and is not re-ran on the same day.
Where the totescoop6 win fund is guaranteed, Tote reserves the right at its reasonable discretion to withdraw such a guarantee should any technical circumstances arise beyond Tote’s control which materially affect the total amount invested into the pool.
Where the totescoop6 win fund is guaranteed, Tote reserves the right to withdraw such a guarantee where any leg falls below 6 runners.
SPECIAL POOLS OPERATED
From time to time Tote may operate standalone totescoop6 pools with separate rollover arrangements. These may be subject to some rule variations. Terms will be advertised in the national and/or sporting press and/or tote.co.uk.
