Saturday's Scoop6 win and bonus fund will likely be more than GB£ 2.5 million after it went without a winner last weekend.
The game has enjoyed a surge in popularity in 2014 after a number of particularly large rollover jackpots. Now Betfred's Tote wants to capitalise on this by making changes to the way the pools are generated.
A new starting fund pool will be created to ensure there is a "rollover" prize to play for each week, regardless of whether or not the win fund is claimed.
Totepool MD Phil Siers explained: "The addition of a starting fund will mean there will always be a rollover for customers to aim at, regardless of whether the win fund is won the week before. We think this addition will prove popular with players as they will be able to look forward to big-money rollovers every Saturday."
The cost of playing will remain at GB£ 2 but the way that money is split will change:
35% to the win fund
17.5% to the place fund
12.5% to the bonus fund
5% to the new starting fund
30% in deductions to the operator
The Tote will begin the starting fund with GB£ 250,000 of its own.

Racing review: Saturday 16 August
20:20 Vision
Horses priced at 20/1 played a large part in my betting fortunes on Saturday. Unfortunately, they were not always in my favour.
In the opener at Ripon (2.15) Marsh Pride (20/1) beat my selection Fast Dancer (13/2), who had held the lead for a large part of the race but was not in front when it mattered.
Then a few minutes later at Newmarket in the handicap for grey horses (2.20) my choice of Baby Strange (7/1) was out battled by Moonspring (20/1).
Both winners had me searching back through the racecard again to make sure they were actually there because I hadn't given either of them a second glance beforehand.
Moonspring also ripped up a lot of tickets in the Scoop 6, which went unclaimed for another week.
But later in the afternoon Confessional (20/1) helped salvage matters a little bit by claiming third place (and some each-way winnings) in the Great St Wilfrid Handicap (Ripon 3.30).
Go Far gives Lynch first winner
Go Far (12/1) gave jockey Fergal Lynch his first winner since being granted his licence again to ride in the UK.
Alan Bailey's four-year-old won the five furlong sprint at Doncaster on Saturday afternoon (4.50).

Scoop 6 finally gives up its millions
The Scoop 6 was finally conquered after 12 weeks of rollovers on Saturday (24 May 2014).
Chatez was the horse that won the sixth and final leg at Haydock, making 8 ticket holders millionaires, each scooping GB£ 1.3 million and a shot at the GB£ 5 million bonus fund race this Saturday.
It some ways it was quite a relief for it to be won because it was getting very expensive chasing the dream week after week!
Also goes to show how difficult picking winners can be when no-one in the country could manage six in a row for three months, even with all the syndicate permutations. I will enjoy each single winner all the more from now on.

Seven million pound Scoop6
The Tote Scoop6 was not won last weekend and Saturday 10 May will see punters seek to find the six winners that could make them a millionaire.
Scoop 6 races Saturday 10 May:
Leg 1: 1.50 Haydock
Leg 2: 2.20 Lingfield
Leg 3: 2.40 Ascot
Leg 4: 2.45 Nottingham
Leg 5: 3.30 Haydock
Leg 6: 3.50 Ascot
The rollovers continue but the races get no easier.
Saturday's Scoop6 is a mix of jumping and Flat races. Leg 1 is a handicap hurdle at Haydock with 14 runners that is 11/2 the field. Then there is the Oaks trial at Lingfield.
The fourth leg is a Class 5 (0-75) 17 runner sprint at Nottingham (2.45), 6/1 the field.
And if you're still alive by the final leg, it is just the small matter of the Victoria Cup at Ascot (3.50). 29 runners from which to choose, 11/1 the field.
But as the prize pool gets bigger, it becomes of more interest to the big syndicate bettors and it is 4/6 that the Scoop6 will be won; 5/4 it won't.

No winners for Scoop 6
The afternoon kicked off with a 10/1 winner in leg 1 and things got tougher from there for Scoop 6 punters.
Leg 4, the 3.30 at Goodwood, went to the 40/1 shot Pandar and by the final leg, the Qipco 2000 Guineas at Newmarket, there was just a single ticket holder left. They were on the Spanish contender Noozhoh Canarias (22/1) but its was the even bigger priced Night Of Thunder (40/1) who was the victor, knocking out the last chance of a winner.
So it all rolls over until next week. But it gets no easier with the likely Scoop 6 races being those at Haydock and Ascot.
It just goes to show how hard it is to find a winner and even just a single winner should be celebrated.

Scoop 6: £5 million prize fund

The Scoop 6 takes in three races from Newmarket, two from Thirsk and one from Goodwood. The final leg is the Qipco 2000 Guineas Stakes (3.50).

Tote Scoop 6 Bonanza
There is a possible GB£ 3 million up for grabs in the Scoop 6 this Saturday.
All you have to do is pick the six winners of the selected races at Haydock and Kempton this weekend and then find the winner of the bonus race next weekend and the GB£ 1.63 million win fund and GB£ 1.95 million bonus fund could be yours.
But the races look tricky from the very outset. The first leg (2.05 at Haydock) is no easy affair and later on there is the 19 runner in the handicap chase (3.15) to sort out.
Good luck!
UPDATE:
The Scoop 6 went without a winner again (19 April), not surprising when the opening two legs went to a 16/1 shot and an 11/2 winner. They were followed by 9/1, 18/1, 5/1, 13/2 winners.
If you could find all those six horses then you probably deserve more than GB£ 3 million!
The win fund will rollover to next weekend.
