Your guests will place their race night bets at the betting desk. Once all bets are placed, a tote slip will be given, which is used (should they win) to claim their winnings.
There are no limits on the number of bets each guest can place between the eight runners, and their spend per race is their choice.
Once the betting desk is closed, a guest at random will choose a race selector card and the corresponding race is played.
Following each race, the money collected split between the fund raiser and the winners.
See the example below.
How The Betting Works
We will use a 50% split. Tote tickets cost £1.00 each.
- Runner 1 sells 10 tickets = £10.00
- Runner 2 sells 8 tickets = £8.00
- Runner 3 sells 16 tickets = £16.00
- Runner 4 sells 4 tickets = £4.00
- Runner 5 sells 15 tickets = £15.00
- Runner 6 sells 16 tickets = £16.00
- Runner 7 sells 20 tickets = £20.00
- Runner 8 sells 15 tickets = £15.00
The total taken for the race is £104.00, therefore £104.00 is split 50/50.
The fund-raiser will take £52.00 and the winning ticket holders will share the remaining £52.00.
If Runner 4 has won, the remaining £52.00 is split between the 4 winning tote ticket holders, which is £13.00 each.
