All eyes will be on th horse racing later today as the popular Scoop 6 jackpot has been announced at around £10m, with the bonus fund expected to be around £5m next week, meaning there’s almost £15m in the pot for someone to win!
The Scoop6 is one of the most popular bets in UK horse racing, taking place each Saturday as punters have to pick the winner of six designated races from across the Saturday race card through the UK.
Entry only costs £2, meaning its a very good alternative to the National lottery, with better chances to win and a bigger jackpot!
Rest assured, punters and fans are sure to be sweating come the first race as they clutch their betting slips at the start of the first race, which is the 2:05 at Haydock.
The Scoop 6 races for this week, Saurday May 24th are as follows.
1: Haydock – 2.05pm.
2: Catterick – 2.50pm.
3: Goodwood -2.55pm
4: Haydock- 3.10pm.
5: Catterick -3.25pm.
6: Haydock -3.45pm
As mentioned, all you have to do is pick the winner of the races as outlined above to be in with a chance to win the colossal jackpot of around £10m!
There are also ways to give yourself a better chance of winning, as you can ‘perm your selections’ this basically means you can by pick multiple horses in each race. Remember, the more horses you pick, the more your bet will cost.
To calculate a perm, just multiply the number of horses you have selected in each race. Eg, if you picked two horses in the first race, two horses in the last race and just one horse in races 2-5, the perm would be calculated as follows:
2 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 1 x 2 = 4.
So four bets at £2 each would equal a total cost of £8!
Its very simple to get the hang of. We would suggest putting your Scoop 6 bet on with Ladbrokes, who offer all new customers a free £50 bet to spend (which you can use towards your Scoop6 selections).
They are very well known in the UK and well respected, and its a very straight forward process to put your bet on with ladbrokes.
