Racing at Newcastle today has been abandoned due to frost. This means that races 2 and 4 of today’s Scoop6 will not be run.

In this situation the Scoop6 will still operate but only on the remaining 4 races. All runners in races 2 and 4 will be classed as winners. If you haven’t yet placed your bet you can just select the favourite in both of these races and concentrate your time, and your permutations, on the remaining races.

The main change when all 6 races aren’t run is that the bonus fund will not be played for next week by today’s winners.

If last week’s 8 winners fail to pick the winner of this weeks bonus race, the Hennessy, then that could mean another £2million plus prize fund next week – though it is unlikely that they will miss it.

Good luck in today’s Scoop4.

During November Totesport have been running a 5% cashback promotion on totepool bets. Once you have placed your bet they would return 5% of your stake to your account. This was a great promotion but it doesn’t mean they couldn’t improve on it, which is just what they have done for the remaining two days.

Today they are offering double the cashback for Scoop6 bets and will now pay 10% cashback on any stakes you make.  Then tomorrow it is 10% cashback on Super7 bets.

This promotion is available to all Totesport online customers. Just place your bet and the cashback will be returned to your account a few days later. Full details are on the Totesport site.

If you don’t have an account with Totesport then you can also take advantage of another offer they are running. They will give you a free bet worth up to £25 when you open an account and place a bet with them. Again, full details are on the Totesport site.

Don’t miss out on these offers. The cashback promotion ends after this weekened and the free bet offer could be removed at anay time.

Tote have just released the races that will make up this Saturday’s (29th November) Scoop6. They are: –

Race 1 : 2.05 Newbury
Race 2 : 2.25 Newcastle
Race 3 : 2.40 Newbury
Race 4 : 3.00 Newcastle
Race 5 : 3.15 Newbury
Race 6 : 3.45 Newbury

Race 3, the Hennessy Gold Cup, will also be the Bonus race. The 8 winners from last week’s massive Scoop6 will be hoping to pick the winner of the Hennessy to claim the £1.5million prize that is currently in that pool. With 17 runners and just 8 tickets it could be missed and that would mean any winners of this week’s Scoop6 will play for an even larger bonus next week.

Totesport are running a great offer this weekend. As well as a free £25 bet to new customers they are also offering 5% cashback on totepool stakes, including the Scoop6. Full details are on the Totesport site and we encourage you to open an free account now so as you are ready for Saturday. Visit Totesport now

Good luck.

Last week’s mammoth Scoop6 was won by eight tickets. Some of these were held by large players but at least on was a punter that brought a single £2 line. They must be happy after getting a return of £437,011 from his £2.

Those eight ticket holders will now try to pick the winner of a bonus race next Saturday (29th November) for a chance to add another £1.5 million on to their winnings. The most likely pick for the bonus race will be Saturday’s Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup for which a total of 21 horse have been entered.

Tote spokesman Damian Walker said: “The Hennessy Cognac Gold Cup has attracted a decent entry at the five-day stage and we’ll be hoping that plenty of the 21 hold their ground at the final declaration stage. We know there is sure to be collusion between those holding the eight winning tickets [to place their tickets on different runners to increase the chances of getting a share of the £1.5 million], but this does not guarantee success and the race has produced some shocks over the years. Obviously if the bonus isn’t won this weekend then any of this Saturday’s winning scoop6 tickets will get a fresh shot at the huge bonus pool.”

In there lies the most important bit of Scoop6 news for this week. If last week’s 8 Scoop6 winners fail to pick the winner of the Hennessy then this week’s Scoop6 winner(s) will get a chance to go for an even larger bonus fund the week after. You have to be in this weeks Scoop6 to have a chance so join Totesport now

Post a comment below to tell all the other visitors to the site how you’re doing in today’s Scoop6.

Good morning to all visitors to Scoop6.co.uk. Whether you’re a long term player, a first timer or are just here to see the latest information, we hope you have a great day. If you are here just to watch, we think you should consider going for at least one £2 line. It will be more entertaining than watching balls drop in the lottery tonight and you can place you bet while staying in the warm.

OK, on to some advice. We aren’t Scoop6 tipsters here as we really have no clue what has a chance today but we can give you some tips from our many years of Scoop6.

• Don’t leave it too late
  As the first race approaches the rate of money flowing into the Scoop6 will increase massively. With some predictions that over £4 million will be staked today there is every chance that the Tote’s website might run a little slow. Our tip, even if you aren’t ready to place your bet yet or aren’t even sure if you will bet on today’s Scoop6, is to open an account with Totesport now so you are ready for when you do want to bet. You can open an account without depositing any money and they are paying 5% cashback on your Scoop6 stakes.

  Once you have an account you have less to do on the site if it does slow down, but we would still advise you fund your account and place your Scoop6 bet as soon as possible. You don’t want to miss out on your chance.

• Write down your selections
  Ok, it’s obvious you should make a note of who you select in each race. The tip is simply to write down the runner numbers as well as the names. It gives you much more chance of spotting how your runner is doing, especially in the shorter races at Lingfield. When you place your bet on the Totesport site you will also see the colours each horse will carry. Making a note of those can also be helpful. One of the Scoop6’s big advantage over the lottery is you get some entertainment for your stake so make sure you make the most of it by being able to follow your selections.

We’ll leave it as that for now as the most important thing is that you don’t end up unable to place your bet. Open a Totesport account now.

There is massive interest in this weeks Scoop6, with an expected £3 million plus win fund. Tote have just announced details of the races that will make up tomorrow’s Scoop6. They are: –

Race 1 : 2.10 Lingfield
Race 2 : 2.40 Lingfield
Race 3 : 2.45 Haydock
Race 4 : 3.20 Lingfield
Race 5 : 3.30 Huntingdon (3m2f Handicap Hurdle - was the 2.55)
Race 6 : 3.50 Lingfield

As usual Scoop6.co.uk will be updated throughout the day allowing you to see how the prize funds inflate during the morning and check how many tickets remain after each leg and which horses they are on.

We are looking forward to another thrilling afternoon – though this week we plan to watch the races and not be working on ensuring this site keeps going under the load of 1,000s of people checking the progress of the Scoop6.

Totesport are running a great offer this weekend. As well as a free £25 bet to new customers they are also offering 5% cashback on totepool stakes, including the Scoop6.

Will you be the next winner. Place you Scoop6 bet at Totesport to find out.

Yesterday we brought you news of Totesport running a market on How much will be bet on the Scoop6. Well, If money talks, then over £4million will be bet on the scoop6 this Saturday! Just before 3.30pm today Totesport were forced to suspend the market.

Spokesman Damian Walker said: “It has been a crazy day. We opened the market at 9.30am and the 50-1 about £4 million or more being bet on the scoop6 this Saturday was soon snapped up followed by all the prices down to 8-1 in just over half an hour.”

“But even after that, punters were taking any price we put up. Our odds compilers said they had seen nothing like it. Just before 3.30pm the decision was taken to suspend the market. It would be fair to say we have a very one-sided book, but £4million+ turnover would more than make up for that.”

How much will be bet on the scoop6 this Saturday? This is how the market moved: –
Market opened at 9.30am
9.30am : 50-1
9.36am : 20-1
9.46am : 14-1
9.53am : 10-1
10.02am : 8-1
10.56am : 13-2
12.14pm : 5-1
1.00pm : 5-2
2.26pm : 2-1
3.21pm : SUSPENDED

If £4 million is bet on the scoop6 this Saturday that would take the win prize to at least £3.4 million with another £1.5 million available as a bonus the following week. Had you asked us yesterday we would have thought to have £4 million bet would be very unlikely but it looks like it might happened as awareness of this massive rollover spreads particually to people hearing about the Scoop6 for the first time.
