Tote
Also known as: Pari-mutuel, Pool betting
A betting format where all stakes on a market go into a pool, the operator takes a takeout percentage, and the remainder is divided among winning tickets. Tote prices are not known until betting closes — they reflect the actual distribution of stakes across runners. UK Tote runs Win, Place, Jackpot, Placepot, Scoop6 and other pool markets in parallel to fixed-odds bookmakers.
