How to Place Your Bets Via Text Message

Here are some examples of what to text for different types of bets:

Win Bet

Simply specify the horse name without mentioning “win” or the race details. For example, “5 Tiger Roll”

Avoid using currency symbols, as the system recognises your account’s currency. Additionally, mentioning the race is unnecessary since providing the horse’s name is sufficient for identification. You can keep your instructions minimal without unnecessary pleasantries to save time.

Your bet will be settled at the higher of the Tote Dividend plus 10% or the Starting Price (SP). Rest assured, you will never receive less than the SP.

Here is how to place a Totewin bet via SMS text message off your smartphone device:

1. Register your mobile number to your Tote betting account
2. Make sure you have enough balance in your tote account to cover your Totewin bets
3. Text 68683
4. Write the message in a simple format like “5  Tiger roll ”

Each Way Bet

To place an each-way bet, you can use the format “5 ew Tiger Roll” or any standard shortened version commonly used on a betting slip.

Remember to include a space between your stake and “ew” for clarity.

You can also write “5 each way tiger roll” as the system recognises all the standard shortened versions you’d use on a betting slip in the bookies .

Keep a space between your stake and the “ew”.  The system likes spaces between instructions.

Straight Exacta

When placing a straight exacta bet, list the horse names with spaces in between.

For example, “5 exacta Tiger Roll Magic of Light” or “5 fc Tiger Roll Magic of Light” will result in the same bet.

No need for commas or other punctuation.

For more information check out the guide to Tote Exacta bets.

Combination Exactas

For combination exactas, specify the stake amount followed by the bet type and horse names.

For instance, “2.5 exacta combination Tiger Roll Magic of Light” or “2.50 rfc Tiger Roll Magic of Light” will place the same bet (total stake of £5.00 in this example).

The system recognises various formats without the need for specific punctuation.

Trifecta

Similar to the exacta, trifecta bets follow a comparable format. Use the horse names with spaces in between.

For instance, “2 trifecta Tiger Roll Magic of Light Rathvinden” or “2 tc Tiger Roll Magic of Light Rathvinden” will place the same straight trifecta bet with a stake of £2.

For more information check out the guide to Tote Trifecta bets.

Combination Trifectas

To place a combination trifecta, follow the same format as the exacta combination. Specify the stake, bet type, and horse names.

For example, “0.5 ctc Tiger Roll Magic of Light Rathvinden” or “0.50 trifecta combination Rathvinden Magic of Light Tiger Roll” will place the same combination trifecta bet (6 x 50p bets, totaling £3.00).
