Totesport Betting Review

Sports : Totesport offer bets on most major sporting events. Their range of betting opportunities are not quite as large as some other major bookies, but they do cover virtually all events that most UK punters will be interested in, including football, horse and greyhound racing, golf, tennis, cricket, boxing, rugby, motor racing and American sports such as baseball and basketball, as well as plenty more games like snooker and darts.

Live Betting : Totesport offers live in-play betting on an impressive range of sporting events. In-play betting is available for any matches being televised live on Sky Sports, Prem Plus, BBC, ITV, Channel 5 and more. You’ll also find a range of live audio commentary available for many events including football, horses and greyhounds, cricket and a general sports channel. For the ultimate in convenience, you can place bets over the telephone (UK freephone) and by sending text messages on your mobile phone.

Tote Bets : In case you’re not familiar with tote bets, here’s a brief explanation : regular bookmaker bets offer winnings in the form of fixed odds, while tote bets offer winnings from a pool of all the bets from individual punters. Changes in bookie’s fixed odds are usually reflected in the size of the tote pool, which means that punters generally receive a similar amount of winnings whether choosing fixed-odd or tote bets, but there can often be advantages to tote bets including more variety of bets and sometimes higher winnings.

Totesport is of course the home of tote bets, and some other bookies can also offer some of the same tote betting opportunities (through syndication) but only Totesport offers the full range including : toteplacepot (win without backing a winner), toteexacta (forecast), totetrifecta (tricast), the daily totejackpot, and of course totewin and toteeachway.
