When all the turkey is finished and only the orange Roses are left, it's time to get off the couch and do something fun with your time off. You'll find one of the best Christmas days out on offer at Leopardstown Racecourse - it's the perfect way to shake off the cobwebs and have some fun with your friends.
Don't worry if you don't have the faintest when it comes to having a flutter though - we've got a handy guide to all the bets on offer at The Tote, so do your homework and arrive ready to win! Remember that you don't have to risk big to win big either, Tote gives punters the unique opportunity to win big for a small bet amount, with minimum guarantees on the big win bets!
WIN
Simply pick a horse to finish first, it couldn't get any easier!
PLACE
A safer option. Pick a horse you think will place in the race. If the race has 5-7 runners, you win if your horse comes first or second. If there are 8-15 winners, third will be enough to guarantee you a win, and if there are over 16 horses then you will win if your horse places fourth or better!
EACH WAY
This involves a 'WIN' and a 'PLACE' bet combined.
EXACTA
Here, you pick two horses to finish first and second.
TRIFECTA
Pick three horses to finish first, second and third.
PLACEPOT
The aim of the PLACEPOT is to select horses to be placed in all 6 of the PLACEPOT races. It’s a guaranteed minimum €20,000 every day
JACKPOT
A small stake/win big bet. Our favourite kind! Pick the winners of races 3, 4, 5 and 6. You could win €20,000 - €30,000 every day.
PICK SIX
This is a tough one - you must pick the winners of all six races! But it's a big win chance, there is a €50,000 guarantee guarantee every day.
Remember, you can bet from as little as €0.10 on PLACEPOT bets, €0.50 on TRIFECTA and PICK SIX, €1 on EXACTA and JACKPOT bets, and €2 on WIN, PLACE and EACH WAY.
As an added bonus, you can also win free fuel for 2014 with Tote and Topaz! Anyone who bets on Pick 6, Placepot, Jackpot, Exacta & Trifecta bets over the course of the festival can pop their slip into a box at the track and on the last day there will be a draw.
