What is Tix?
Tix is software designed to help you make better multi-race (placepot, jackpot, etc) tote bets. A sister product to geegeez.co.uk, conceived and built by the same brains behind this website and its racing software, Tix is essentially a staking and placement tool. It optimizes your stakes and automatically places bets on your say so.
Get your account set up
In order to use Tix, you'll need a tote account. If you don't already have one, you can register here (and receive some bonuses when you make your first plays).
How Tix Works
The video below shows you how Tix works, and here's a list of contents in case you're after a specific thing:
00:00 Intro / get a tote account
00:56 The Tix App / logging in
02:15 Making selections in Tix
04:20 Refining your tickets in Tix
09:40 Placing your bets in Tix
10:52 Reviewing your bet history in Tix and via spreadsheet

13:45 Do this if it all sounds a bit complicated!
Tracking your bets from Tix
Tracking bets across multiple tickets can be a bit of a faff. I use a 'macro' in Excel which, once set up, merely requires me to use a keyboard shortcut to execute it.
Here's what I mean:
Download the macro
You can download the macro I created and used in the video above here.
NOTE: Some browsers/operating systems/anti-virus software don't like macros, because they are used by unscrupulous souls to transport malicious code and the like.
To install in Excel, go to File > Options > Add-ins > Excel Add-ins > Browse and select the tix.xlam file. It will be called Tix and it may initially be in the 'Inactive' list.
Deploying the macro
To use the macro, download a csv file from your Tix BETS tab and then simply click 'ctrl' and 'T' at the same time while in Excel. That will convert the raw format to the 'pretty' and trackable version:
You may then overwrite the 'Leg 1' to 'Leg 6' data with the number placed/winning selections on each ticket and, once completed for all legs, the total winning value of each ticket will be displayed in 'Leg 7'.
Any questions, leave a comment and I'll update the post with the answer!

Hi Matt. I like the Tix app. Just tried the macro, but it shows an error when running, it shows the nice formatted table but is missing column 7. Its not a massive issue but if there is an easy fix it would be handy.
Thanks
Paul
Hi Paul
That’s not an error, that’s a field that is calculated when you add the actual number of winning/placed selections in each of legs 1 to 6.

Apologies, thank you.
Hi matt. A question about selecting the favourite.
If you have already selected a horse which ultimately becomes the favourite, what happens with the selections. Thanks
Hi David
If you choose ‘F’ (or unnamed favourite) and also the number of the horse which is sent off favourite, you’ll have two lines on that horse.
