Totesport review

When reaching the main page of the Totesport site you will first of all be presented with a splash page that has all of the current offers including their £20 welcome offer.

It is very easy to navigate to any part of the site from here with a main menu at the top of the page and sports is the very first item in the menu.

The colour scheme of the site works very well with a black and dark grey interface that contains lime green sections for headings. All odds and other information is outlined in white or lime green text and this works very well.

There are three main sections to the sports page. The left menu holds three main sections: racing highlights, sports highlights and a full list of other sports to bet on. With Totsport being mainly racing focused, you will find lots of the content placement is about horse racing first.

The middle section of the page contains the live In-play interface and here you will find a set of tabs which allows you to easily reach the sport of your choice.

Totesport has a wide range of content on the site but far and away the best piece of content they have is a 64 page betting guide and you can get this by going to the sub menu under the main top menu. This menu is a lime green band across the page and just click on “Betting Guide” to download a full 64 page PDF with great information about betting on all sports.

Totesport which at the time of writing is operated by the parent company of Betfred have a really solid offer when it comes to odds margin.

Their overall margin comes out at under the five percent mark, 4.7% to be exact which is very competitive in todays market.

For football punters they offer exceptional value with margins trading at 3% which is excellent for a sportsbook. US sports all trade at margins under 5% and the only market where they fall behind the competition is on Tennis where the margin is 6.6%.

Totesport is primarily a horse racing focused site as we mentioned before, but they do cover a whole range of sports with football being the other main focus of their offer.

Unlike other sites, they do not outline clearly the countries or leagues from which they accept bets so it makes the navigation on football a little bit difficult to find exactly what you are looking for.

We undertook this review on a Sunday to check the depth of markets, and we did find betting options on over 40 countries with some big European games having between 60 – 100 markets.

The one very interesting market on Totesport’s is the #PICKYOURPUNT section which is prices based on other customers requesting a price on a certain betting scenario. At the time of writing one premier league game between Manchester City and Swansea had 49 various betting options with odds ranging from 30/100 to 80/1

Lots of opportunities to bet on something just a little different.

The In-play interface takes the same colour scheme as the main site and the layout is very simple. Football is the main In-play sport and the way this is laid out makes a lot of sense.

You will always find the major UK games listed at the very top with Premier League followed by any English cup games followed by the major Scottish football. After this it is the major European leagues from Spain, Italy, Germany and France.

After these main leagues you will find all other leagues from world-wide.

The interface is clean and simple, the only slight negative is the size of the text in each section. A couple of nice small touches are that any games that are on live TV are shown with the relevant channel icon next to the match title, this makes it easy to see which games you can enjoy on TV.

Also to the right of the live interface you have links to live commentaries which adds another nice piece of quality content for the user.

Totesport have a very wide range of bonuses and promotions, and as you would expect they are heavily focused on horse racing which has always been their core sport. As well as racing they offer a some great promos on football and rugby.
