Ever wondered what the hell the bookies are ‘saying’ when they wave their hands? (Image: Theguidetosurrey.com)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

If you\u2019ve ever watched horse racing on the television\u00a0or been to the track in person, you may have seen the strange arm-waving antics of certain bookmakers and probably wondered what on earth they were doing.<\/p>\n

Often these men are stood on raised platforms to be seen, with their hands and arms motioning a signal that nobody seems to understand. What they\u2019re doing is the job of a \u2018Tic-tac,\u2019 and on this page we\u2019re going to tell you why they do it\u00a0and show you how\u2019s it done.<\/p>\n

What are the Origins of Tic-Tac Men? Why do Bookmakers use Them?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Tic-tac men <\/a>were once a common sight at racetracks in the UK\u00a0and considered entertainers in their own right. Their system of hand signals is designed for effective communication between both bookmakers, their colleagues, and also between rival bookmakers at the races.<\/p>\n

These signals are intended as a secret language that bookmakers can speak without giving away information to the punters. It\u2019s also a way of speaking above the rowdy crowds. When you consider the noise at the races, using hand signals is far more effective than trying to shout.<\/p>\n

Tic-tacs most famously use hand signals to communicate betting odds for horses about to race. This allows for consistency across the board and avoids a situation where one bookmaker has substantially higher odds on offer for a particular horse, thus attracting a big amount of money and risking a big loss. A Tic-tac man can react to a huge bet coming in by communicating to his team and other bookies. Tic-tac men also play a part in actioning trades between rival bookmakers.<\/p>\n

Do Bookmakers Still use Tic-Tac Men?<\/b><\/h2>\n

Much as everybody loves the theatre and entertainment value of multiple Tic-tacs in action, sadly it\u2019s a dying art. Tic-tac men are a rare sight these days, thanks to the introduction of online betting, ease of mobile communication and the capacity for mobile devices to update real-time odds as they fluctuate. You\u2019ll still see the odd Tic-tac, keeping the tradition alive, but the days of watching arms waving all over the place are gone.<\/p>\n

Who are the Most Famous Tic-Tac Men?<\/b><\/h2>\n

The racing journalist, pundit, and TV presenter, John McCririck<\/a> is probably the best-known Tic-tac of recent times. McCririck\u2019s eccentricity was reinforced by his using hand signals on live television broadcasts as he laid out odds to the watching audience. McCririck once said of Tic-tac signaling: \u201cI think it adds color. It brings the excitement of being at the racecourse.\u201d<\/p>\n

Tic-Tac Counting Signals<\/b><\/h2>\n

Tic-tac men also have a language for simple counting purposes. This allows the bookmaker to communicate the number of the horse they are referring to.<\/p>\n

We’ve provided instructions on how to count from one to ten using horse racing bookie signs, as follows:<\/p>\n

1 \u2013 Take two fingers and place upon your forehead.<\/p>\n

2 \u2013 Take the same fingers and tap them upon your nose.<\/p>\n

3 \u2013 This time the two fingers are tapped upon your chin.<\/p>\n

4 \u2013 This is a flick motion using the two fingers, as if drawing a smile away from your body.<\/p>\n

5 \u2013 Take your left hand and place it upon the same shoulder.<\/p>\n

6 \u2013 Now we\u2019re going to combine signals to get the desired number. So six is your five sign followed by your one signal. A hand on the shoulder, then two fingers on the forehead.<\/p>\n

7 \u2013 Five plus two gets you to seven, being the shoulder tap and then two fingers on your nose.<\/p>\n

8 \u2013 Getting easy now. Five plus three gets you to eight.<\/p>\n

9 \u2013 Take one finger and place it on top of your head for nine.<\/p>\n

10 \u2013 Bring two clenched fists together in front to signal ten.<\/p>\n

Tic-tac men are a great racing tradition. Their signals are designed to keep the bookmaker one step ahead of the punters, and we should all be hoping the art of bookie signs is kept alive in the years to come.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
