Royal Ascot Tips and Tote Bets

Hi there and if you know me then you probably already follow me on Twitter under the Longshot King.

I wanted to write this Royal Ascot Tips article to let you know about my daily video tips which i will
be doing each day during the meeting at Royal Ascot.

The easiest way to get these is by making sure you follow me on Twitter or make sure to come back to
the site each day and check out the featured videos section.

So how can we try and bet at Royal Ascot and make it both fun and profitable?

Well their are a few bets which i think are great fun for the novice punter and the more experienced alike.

Both of these are Tote bets whioch you can place at a Tote betting window on course or in your local betting
shop and even over the web if you have an account.

The first bet I want to touch on is the Tote Placepot Bet and this is a great fun bet which can win you big
returns for a relatively small stake especially if you are a novice punter.

This bet gives you an interest in each race and if you are lucky will build up to a very exciting time if you
can get the first 5 horses placed.

The aim of the tote placepot bet is simple.

You need to pick a horse in each of the first six races and that horse needas to come in the first three….
or first 4 if it is a handicap race with more than 16 runners.

Now you see i mentioned ‘pick a horse in each of the first six races”

Well to give yourself a better chance of winning you should maybe pick more than one horse, especially at Ascot where the number of runners in each race is so big.

So let me give you a couple of examples:

2 x 2 x 3 x 3 x 1 x 2 = 72 lines or 72 bets

3 x 1 x 2 x 1 x 2 x 1 = 12 lines or 12 bets

So you can do a placepot for small stakes with the chance of winning quite decent amounts of money.

Let me show you a screenshot example of a placepot I had recently where I laid out GBP 4 and won GBP 137.80

So on this bet i won 34 times my original four pound stake

Here is another example of a winning Placepot

So on this bet I won 22 times my original GBP 14.40 stake

Here is another example of a winning Placepot

So on this bet I won 39 times my original GBP 6 stake

Here is another example of a winning Placepot

So on this bet I won about 19.5 times my original GBP 19.20 stake

The other fun bet you can do on the tote is something called a Trifecta (As the word TRI implies) you need to find the first second and third in each race (Yes I know, not very easy)

However we can again do a perm, so instead of just picking 3 horses I like to pick four or five.

4 horses = 24 Bets (This means that any 3 from your 4 horses can come first, second or third)
5 horses = 60 Bets (This means that any 3 from your 5 horses can come first, second or third)

It gives you a lot more chance and with many races at Ascot having upwards of 20 runners a Trifecta can pay big dividends for small stakes again.

e.g. With many Trifectas at Royal Ascot probably paying a dividend of GBP 10000 then a four horse perm trifecta for 10 pence (24 x 10 pence =2.40) can win you a possible Grand

Let me show you a screenshot of a successful Tricast I had a few months back.

So this bet returned GBP 1276.80  for just an outlay of GBP 4.80………very nice

So you see, these are a couple of fun bets that you can do for small stakes and possibly big returns.

N.B. NOW THIS IS IMPORTANT!!! Each day during the Ascot Meeting I will be putting up the exact placepot I do each day on the blog here. I am not saying that we will hit one but as you see from above I do have an outstanding record with my placepots because of a system I use (sorry i cannot divulge that but will give you the same selections I bet on and you can choose whether to take my advice or not)

And now to make this a total no brainer. Before you go i would like to give you the chance to get some free punting money. A lot of bookmakers offer incentives for people betting during Royal Ascot week and you check out our FREE BETS section where you can get a series of free GBP 25 bets.

I hope this was a helpful guide for you and if you need any help then just leave me a comment and i’ll reply no problem

All the Best
