Get Ready for World Pool: Everything You Need to Know
Calling all game enthusiasts! This Saturday, Australia will host the World Pool meeting for only the second time ever. Punters from all over the world will turn their attention to Flemington for TAB Turnbull Stakes Day. If you’re unfamiliar with World Pool and how it works, don’t worry! We’ve got you covered. Here’s everything you need to know to make the most of this exciting event.
What is World Pool?
World Pool combines money from different countries on certain bet types for specific races. It’s a global pool where money from all over the world is pooled together for these bets. Normally, when you place a bet at a local pub, it goes into a separate pool than someone betting at the track or in another state. But with World Pool, everyone is betting into the same totalisator market, whether they’re in Australia, Hong Kong, or even Wichita!
How does it work?
World Pool is not just a pool hosted in Australia. It combines wagers from various countries to create a super pool. It’s similar to the massive Hong Kong pools for every Sha Tin and Happy Valley race meeting, where bets from operators worldwide go into one pool hosted by the Hong Kong Jockey Club. If you’re already familiar with international betting, World Pool won’t be a foreign concept to you. It has been available on races like the Dubai World Cup, the Champions Cup in South Africa, and even every race at Royal Ascot.
What are the benefits?
For seasoned bettors, World Pool provides greater pricing stability and access to larger payouts through exotic bets. The enhanced liquidity means better value and more opportunities. Take the TAB Turnbull Stakes on Saturday, for example. Hong Kong superstar Romantic Warrior will be a favorite among Hong Kong punters, which will inflate the prices of his rivals. This creates a unique chance for local trainers and horses to shine and potentially deliver surprising results.
What bet types are involved?
Every win, place, quinella, duet, and trifecta bet placed with S-TAB will go into the global commingled pool. The duet bet is particularly noteworthy. While it may be small in Australia, it’s incredibly popular in Hong Kong. The duet pool for The Elms Handicap at Flemington in February was significantly higher than the win pool for the same race. With World Pool, the duet bet becomes even more appealing due to higher price security.
What races will it cover this weekend?
On TAB Turnbull Stakes Day at Flemington, the final five races will be available to World Pool customers. Additionally, World Pool will cover four races from Newmarket on Saturday evening and extend to South America on Sunday morning with the G1 Gran Premio Latinoamericano in Argentina. It’s an incredible opportunity for Australian bettors to join the world in betting on prestigious races from around the globe.
Will there be more World Pool events this spring?
Absolutely! The TAB Turnbull Stakes meeting is just the beginning. World Pool will be involved in five weekends of racing, including The Everest at Randwick, the BMW Caulfield Cup meeting, British Champions Day at Ascot, the Ladbrokes Cox Plate card at Moonee Valley, and the Penfolds Victoria Derby Day at Flemington. There’s plenty of action to look forward to!
