Each-Way Betting Explained
An each-way bet is two bets in one — part on the win, part on a place. It is common in racing and large-field events. This guide explains it with hypothetical examples only.
- It is two bets in one — half your stake on the selection to win and half on it to place.
- It pays at a fraction of the win odds if the selection finishes within the paid places, with the number of places set by the event terms.
- It depends on the field size and event, set in the terms.
Two bets in one
An each-way bet splits your stake: half on the selection to win, half on it to finish in the places. The total stake is therefore double the unit amount.
How the place part pays
The place part pays at a fraction of the win odds if the selection finishes within the paid places.
Place terms
How many places pay (and at what fraction) depends on the field size and event, set out in the terms. Larger fields usually pay more places.
Dead heats
If selections tie for a place, dead-heat rules reduce the returns. Each-way is used in racing, golf and other large-field events.
