What is a Tote Swinger?
- The Tote Swinger is a great bet if you think two horses will run well in a race. If they both finish in the first three, you’ll win a share of the pool.
- To win a Swinger, you simply need to have both your horses finish in the first three. You'll have a winning Swinger if you've backed: 1st and 2nd placed horses, 1st and 3rd placed horses, 2nd and 3rd placed horses.
- The minimum total stake for a Swinger is £0.50.
- Like all Tote bets, the less popular one of your selections is, the bigger the payout.
Swingers with more than two horses
With a Swinger, you're not limited to just two horses. So if there are three runners in a race you can't split, it might make sense to have more than two horses in your bet.
There are more chances to win with a combination Swinger and the more horses you add to your bet, the more your stake increases:
- A £1 Swinger on two horses costs £1
- A £1 combination Swinger on three horses costs £3
- A £1 combination Swinger on four horses costs £6
- A £1 combination Swinger on five horses costs £10
We've reduced the minimum stake per line on a Swinger to just 1p, as long as the total stake is at least 50p. This means you can add up to 12 horses to your bet and only cost a minimum of 55p.
