| RECORD RACEO JACKPOT TOPS £700,000 THIS

London, 24th January, 2007 –
The new RaceO 8 jackpot pool rolls over to yet another record level of over
£700,000* this weekend and maintains its position as the biggest prize
available to racing punters.
The jackpot fund total is 16 per cent
up on last week after the pot of over £590,000 went unclaimed.
The new money flowing into the guaranteed pool promises even bigger
returns and payouts for punters who failed to take advantage of favourable odds
last weekend.
The chances of winning the RaceO 8 last weekend were just
over 220,000/1**, a figure that compares very favourably with the astronomical
odds of over 3 million to one against the corresponding eight timer, a feat
beyond even the luckiest pin. Punters benefit from a massive odds advantage
because RaceO groups outsiders together and restricts each field to a maximum
of eight options.***
RaceO’s managing director Steve Soden says:
“The odds against dropping the RaceO 8 jackpot are very competitive
because outsiders are grouped as one option. Our first six races were identical
to those of the Scoop 6 and we returned odds of under 8000/1 against the
Tote’s figure of close to 125,000/1. Why? Because a 16/1 outsider becomes
a 3/1 shot on RaceO.”
RaceO will announce the eight races on
Friday afternoon after the final declarations have been
made.
