What is the Scoop 6?

The holy grail of Tote bets, the Scoop 6 allows it’s player a chance to win a fortune. To do so, you’ll have to pick the winner of six nominated races, which can be found on Totesport’s website. They usually incorporate the terrestrial action, with the pot tending to roll over to bigger amounts at major festivals, with the races being much harder to find the winner from.

How can I gain a return?

There are three pots in play, a win fund, a place fund and a bonus fund. The win fund is shared between people who have selected all six winners and the place fund is shared out between people who haven’t selected all the winners, but have at least had all their selections place. If no one manages to select all six winners, then the win fund rolls over to the next week and continues to do so until a winner is found.

If you win the Scoop 6, you also have the chance to play for the bonus fund the following Saturday. To win the bonus fund, you’ll need to pick the winner of a nominated bonus race, with that yielding a monstrous return. If the winner(s) of last Saturday’s win fund don’t manage to find the winner of the bonus race, that pot rolls over to the next week. The Scoop 6 is always £2 to play and even if you don’t manage to get all six winners, there is still a chance for profit!

The Scoop 6 was last won on September 29th, with the pot starting at £74,986 as a base.
