news - www.racingpost.co.uk: "THE TOTE are reeling from an 'amazing' gamble on Thursday morning on how much willbe bet on the Scoop6 on Saturday.
Punters latched onto their 50-1 that over £4 million will be added to the near £3m rollover funds and by first-race time on Thursday the price was down to 5-2, with stakes limited as the Tote struggled to tot up the liabilities.
'It has been incredible,' said Tote spokesman Damian Walker. 'Any price we go is being taken and our odds compilers have never seen anything like it. This is the biggest specials market we have ever taken.'
The 50-1 was initially cut to 14-1 but with punters still eager to get on, the price has gone through 10-1, 8-1 and 5-1 to reach 5-2.
As a consequence, the 13-8 favourite that £2-£2.5m will be added on Saturday is out to 5-1. It's 100-1 under £1.5m, 9-2 over £2.5m-£3m and £3.5-£4m is in to 5-2 from 14-1."
