Winning the Tote Quadpot
To win a share of the Quadpot pool you have to find a horse to place in races three, four, five and six at any given meeting.
The number of places on offer in each race depend on the number of runners. For races of four horses or less, only the winner will do. Races with five to seven runners see the top two place. While the top three in the race place for contests with more than eight runners. The only time the first four home are counted as placing are in handicaps featuring 16 or more runners.
Choosing your horses
With the Quadpot, it’s always worth looking for a horse to upset the favourites. The more fancied horses that fail to make the places, the bigger the Quadpot dividend.
So if you think a horse near the top of the market might be vulnerable for one reason or another, it’s always worth trying to find something a bit more under the radar to take them on with.
Multiple lines in a Quadpot
You can select more than one horse in each race, and it often makes senses to do this in particularly tricky contests or races with a large field.
Just remember that the more runners you have, the bigger your total stake.
To work out your total stake, simply multiply the number of selections in each leg.
For example:
Leg 1: 2 selections
Leg 2: 1 selections
Leg 3: 3 selection
Leg 4: 2 selections
2 x 1 x 3 x 2 = 12 lines.
Just like the Placepot, the minimum stake per line is just 1p, but the total stake must be at least 50p.
Backing the un-named favourite
You are also able to select the un-named favourite in any race as your selection. This means that you'll be on the SP favourite at the time the race goes off.
If the market for this particular race is volatile and subject to a horse with a great chance being supported late on, this could be a particularly useful strategy.
If there are joint or co-favourites, the un-named favourite will apply to the horse with lowest race card number out of those horses.
