Thu 07 Jul 2008Tote betting available for the first time in Irish shops
IN WHAT is being described as a "landmark development", Tote betting will be available in Ladbrokes shops in Ireland from today.
Punters will be able to bet directly into Irish and British tote pools, which offer such bets as the placepot, jackpot, exactas and trios. To coincide with the development, Tote Ireland have also announced that their minimum stake will rise from 50 cent to €1.
