Anyone out there betting online via the TOTESPORT website a 4th place is no longer valid via the totepool in non handicaps with 16 runners or more in the Republic of Ireland.

I never thought it was anyway!

The official placings in a race are:

4 or less you have to pick the winner.
5 up to 7 first 2 placings.
8 or more in non-handicaps first 3 placings.

Handicaps only

16 or more first 4 placings.

Bookmakers don’t have to give you 5 placings but only do so for good public relations.

Tote however, esp in pool bets ie placepot and jackpots only give the official placings.

The Irish Tote, up to very recently, paid out on 4th place in all races with 16+ runners, handicap or not

I wasn’t aware that Totesport did the same.

If you check out the TOTESPORT website by going into the totepool section and then go into the winandplace section under any meeting in the Republic of Ireland.You will see totepool terms places 1 2 3 4 advertised there for non handicaps with 16 or more runners.I’m wondering is this false advertising by the TOTE because 4th place no longer counts in non handicaps with 16 runners or more; are the public being misled here especially people new to betting?

Probably because someone from the tote read this forum.
