Download your free sweepstake kit and give the men a run for their money…
Experienced punters out there can put a win on the Gee Gees down to their skills of selection and a study of previous form. For the rest of us, it’s all about luck.
More than half of us choose a horse based on the simple fact we like its name! Brits have bet an estimated £30million in the last year using this carefully thought out strategy. How can a horse named ‘Grand Champion,’ ‘Lucky’ or ‘Winner’ fail?
Most people would rather see their money go into a pot to be shared amongst friends, than into a bookie’s pocket and for this reason sweepstakes are particularly popular.
But women lead the way when it comes to random selection. Men are twice as likely to be more considered about their racing decisions, by studying their racing guide from cover to cover or taking a tip off a friend in the know. Women, however, are twice as likely to back a horse because they like the jockey’s jersey! Just over £6million has been bet in the last year on the basis of what the jockey pulled out of his wardrobe that morning.
And if you’re a man aged over 55 and live in Scotland, Northern Ireland or London, entering a Derby sweepstake is a must: according to the survey you fit the profile of someone most likely to win.
Most people would rather see their money go into a pot to be shared amongst friends, than into a bookie’s pocket and for this reason sweepstakes are particularly popular. 73% of people have entered a sweepstake and almost a third has seen a handsome return on their investment. We are careful not to get too carried away however, as the majority of our bets are under £10.
No doubt all this talk about sweepstakes has got you in the mood for a little flutter. Download this free Sweepstake Kit from leading equine welfare charity, the Brooke, to find out how to boost your chances of sweepstake success.
Once you have had a whip round and placed your bets, why not donate a small proportion of the kitty to the charity which reaches more than 650,000 working horses, donkeys and mules every year, many of which are relied upon by over 3 million poverty stricken people across the world.
Brooke patron and racing legend Sir Peter O’Sullevan comments: "Many horses and donkeys endure gruelling days as they work from dawn to dusk hauling back-breaking loads. An easy way to help them is to download the Brooke’s sweepstake kit right away – not only do you stand the chance to win some money but you can help the charity do its excellent work at the same time."
