You don’t need reminding that there is some high quality horse racing at Longchamp this weekend, with the Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe being Europe’s richest horse race and we’re intrigued to see the likes of Ace Impact, Hukum and Westover lining up for this famous encounter.

There are lots of different betting sites offering customers the chance to bet on some brilliant Longchamp racecards, although we can make a strong case for betting with the Tote. 

As opposed to the fixed-odds bookmakers, this is a pool betting bookmaker and that can often lead to bigger returns when you back a winning selections. 

You Can Now Bet On French Tote Pools

The other good news is that Tote customers can actually use their standard Tote accounts to bet directly into the official French tote pools. 

There are some key advantages to doing this, including the fact that you are wagering into a pool where there’s also cash coming from French and international players. 

The way in which the odds will be calculated for each race at Longchamp is down to the weight of money that has been wagered for each selection that is running. 

Therefore, if you are going for one of the outsiders, it’s nearly always the case that you will get bigger odds about a horse with the Tote than you will find on a fixed-odds basis. 

The same applies if you are looking to back any Irish or UK-trained runners that are lining up in the various Group 1 and Group 2 encounters that feature on this weekend’s Longchamp racecard

They might be passed over by French and international customers to the extent that you are able to secure a bigger price. 

Why Racing Betting With Tote Is Worth Checking Out

We have consistently seen the winners of the Prix de l’Arc de Triomphe paid out at much bigger odds on the Tote than you will find with other bookmakers. 

The most notable example was back in 2006 when winner Rail Link paid a massive 24/1 on the Tote which was three times the 8/1 with the bookies. The reason for the discrepancy was the pool popularity of Asian ace Deep Impact. 

Therefore, it’s definitely worth considering the Tote as a viable alternative to the other horse racing betting sites if you’re planning to bet on French racing this weekend. 

Due to the unique style of pool betting, you won’t be restricted by them if you embark on a winning run and there’s never any hold-up when it comes to placing your bet.

The other positive aspect is that you are betting directly into the PMU (the French pool) through your Tote account and that helps to support the sport of horse racing. 

There’s a chance to claim a new customer bonus in order to get started and we highly recommend having an account so that you can see for yourself the difference in prices.
