What is the World Pool and how does it benefit punters?

Making it simple, the World Pool is a betting collaboration between several countries around the world, allowing punters to bet into the same pool as those from eight countries on specific race days.

Ascot became the first British meeting to be part of the initiative back in 2019 for the Royal meeting – with a total of 18 World Pool events across the UK and Ireland this year.

Being able to bet into the same pool as the likes of Hong Kong, Australia, France and the US, this generates greater liquidity while also being able to go against fellow bettors from across the globe.

This means that punters can place larger, more significant bets without having an impact on a horse’s price.

Just to give an example, if you’d placed a £1 bet on each winner across 2022’s 17 World Pool days in Britain and Ireland, you’d have a 16% higher return compared to the usual, standard SP.

Significant differences can arise from the price offered on World Pool to that offered by the bookmakers, particularly with jockeys and trainers with international profiles generally being over-bet, with lesser known connections overlooked.

How do I bet on the World Pool?

Getting involved in the World Pool is simple.

Punters can do so via the Tote website and mobile app, as well as with bookmakers that offer Tote betting – and on the racecourses themselves.

Bets placed with Tote go straight into the common pool, meaning punters don’t need to indicate that they want to be involved.

What bets are available on World Pool days?

There are seven bet types available in World Pool. Those are:

Winner: Picking the horse that you think will win the racePlace: Picking a horse to finish in the places in the raceExacta: Picking the first and second place horses to finish in the correct orderTrifecta: Picking the first, second and third horses to finish in the correct orderQuinella: Picking the first two horses home, in either orderSwinger: Picking two horses to finish in the first three places in any orderTreble: Only multi-leg bet – Picking the first horse in three separate races
