Tote Reduce Pick 6 & Jackpot Stakes

Tote Ireland has announced that the minimum unit stake for both the Pick 6 and Jackpot is now 10c.

This change will enable punters to have a realistic chance of sharing in some of the biggest Tote dividends for a much smaller outlay.

Tote Ireland General manager Ross Kierans explains: “Over the past year we’ve received consistent feedback from Tote customers that they would like to see the introduction of 10c Pick 6 and Jackpot stakes so we’ve responded to that customer feedback.”

“It’s about making the Pick 6 and Jackpot more accessible to customers, allowing them to cover more combinations for their money.”

“We’ve always had Small Stakes, Big Win at the heart of our philosophy and the 10c stake really supports that. Tote customers have the potential to take a slice of some really big payouts by playing for just 10c.”

“We’re sponsoring the New Year’s Eve card at Punchestown this year. Last year our Pick 6 pool was just shy of one million euros on the same day and a 10c winner would have netted €24,319!”

“We did a soft launch of the 10c stake on Clonmel racing last Thursday and it proved successful. Since Clonmel we’ve made it available on all Pick 6 and Jackpot pools and will continue to do so.”

The Pick 6 and Jackpot are multi-leg bets which make them difficult to win. The Pick 6, as the name suggests, requires players to correctly select the winners of the first six races at a meeting. The more horses that a player covers in each race the greater the chance that they will succeed but also the more expensive the bet.

For example a Pick 6 combination where two horses are selected in each race (2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 x 2 = 64 units) would cost €64.

With the minimum unit stake now reduced to 10c a punter can cover the same combination of horses for as little as €6.40 but obviously if they are successful they will only receive one tenth of the final dividend.

The Tote dividends for the Pick 6 and Jackpot are declared to a €1 stake.

This new 10c unit stake is available to all Tote players, on-course, online and in participating betting offices.
