This week on geegeez, I'll be highlighting the different playing modes on Tix, our tote multi-race staking software. By the end of the week, you'll know about Simple, ABCX, and Pro - and when to use each scenario.

To get started with Tix, you'll need a tote account. If you don't currently have one, you can sign up here. Then you'll need to log in to Tix, via this link.

OK, then what?!

What you need to know about SIMPLE

Very little, in truth. You choose your maximum budget, minimum stake per line, and the horses you want included; the software does the rest.

Watch this video, where I walk you through a placepot play using Tix SIMPLE. I've had a crack at Plumpton's main meeting £50,000 guaranteed pool and, as well as mentioning a couple of things to look out for when playing placepots, I also discuss the mechanics of Tix SIMPLE. It bears repeating, though, that you don't need to know how it works particularly; you just need to know that it's a better way to stake the placepot you already play.

Here's the video. [Tip: you can make the video clearer by clicking the cog icon bottom right and choosing 'quality' 1080p, and you can make me speed faster with the 'playback speed' option in the same place]

 

Back tomorrow with Part 2, where we'll laser in on the ABCX framework.

But, for now, why not have a crack at TIX yourself this afternoon? Go here to check it out.
