How does a Quadpot bet work?

A Quadpot is operated at every meeting in the UK and it takes place on the third to sixth races on the card. The aim is to pick a horse that will be placed in each one of these races, according to the placing rules stated in the Tote Place section above. The minimum bet is 10p.

Subsequently, one may also ask, how do you win on a Quadpot?

To win a share of the Quadpot pool you have to find a horse to place in races three, four, five and six at any given meeting. The number of places on offer in each race depend on the number of runners. For races of four horses or less, only the winner will do. Races with five to seven runners see the top two place.

Subsequently, question is, what happens if you have a non runner in a Quadpot? If a selection is a non-runner, you automatically go on the SP favourite. If there are joint or co-favourites, the highest racecard number carries your money.

Regarding this, how do you win on a Placepot?
