Win Big On The Breeders' Cup With Tote TheTote.com offers a unique opportunity for Irish punters to take part in the massive Pick 4 & Pick 6 Breeders’ Cup pools this weekend. On Friday Tote will offer a US$ 1.5 Million Guaranteed Pick 4 Pool and a US$ 500,000 Pick 6 Pool. On Saturday the Ultra Pick 6 will have a massive US$ 2 Million Guarantee, while the Pick 4 will be Guaranteed for US$ 3 Million! Here’s how to play: Breeders’ Cup Pick 4 The Pick 4 is a simple bet and one that could pay huge dividends if it clicks. It is the equivalent of the Irish Jackpot though on Friday the aim is to pick the winners of races 6 — 9 at Del Mar. Saturday’s Pick 4 covers races 9 to 12. On the face of it, it seems like a difficult bet but it is a bit easier to navigate on days where such high quality racing is on offer such as with the Breeders Cup where many races can be narrowed down to just a few horses to pick a winner from. On Friday’s card in 2016, the Breeders’ Cup Pick 4 paid a whopping €50,526 for a €1 bet. Breeders’ Cup Pick 6 The Pick 6 is a bet that is more difficult to land compared to the Pick 4. As the name suggests, it requires picking horses to win in 6 individual races. Not an easy feat but the pool size makes it an attractive betting proposition. The Pick 6 often returns some big payouts and last year, a Pick 6 pool on Saturday’s card returned €146,211 for a €1 bet. Friday’s Pick 6 covers races 4 to 9, while Saturday’s Ultra Pick 6 is on Races 7 to 12. Calculating the Cost of Multi-leg bets As for all multi-leg bets, it is important to choose your selections wisely. Choosing multiple selections can increase the chances of your bet clicking but be mindful not to choose too many selections in each race as this will drive up the total cost of the bet. Calculating the cost of your Pick 4 or Pick 6 bet is straightforward. Multiply the number of horses you pick in each race by one another. This will give you the number of units you have. Then multiply this figure by your selected stake.
