The UK Tote — pool betting on British racing, originally created by statute in 1928. Now owned by UK Tote Group after the 2019 sale out of Betfred. UKGC-licensed. Pool (pari-mutuel), not a fixed-odds high-street book.
Invented as the statutory tote on British racecourses. Betfred operated it from 2011 to 2019; it then moved to UK Tote Group with racecourse and investor backing. Still the official pool on UK racing.
