The ‘Tote’ term has always been synonymous with horse racing itself. As an entity, Tote themselves are a relatively new arrival on the online scene and they didn’t establish an internet presence until 2002 as Totepool.
However, as a physical bookmaker, the Tote has been seen at racecourses around the UK and beyond since 1928 and the company was in fact, first set up by Winston Churchill as a government approved body.
Boylesports may seem like a relatively new player in the world of online gambling but they have actually been around for a lot longer than many people realise. The company was founded back in 1989 and have grown ever since to the point where they are now the biggest independent bookmaker in Ireland.
