What is 'Each Way' betting?

‘Each Way’ betting is a bet type only available in horse racing. By selecting the ‘Each Way’ option on your race winner bet, you are placing two bets – one on your pick to win, and another one on your pick to ‘place’.

For a horse to ‘place’, it must finish in one of the first ranks, which will vary from race to race. ‘Place’ terms can be seen below:

2-4 runners - Win only

5-7 runners - 1/4 odds first and second-placed runners

8 + runners - 1/5 odds first, second and third-placed runners

In Handicap races, the following place terms apply:

12 + runners - 1/4 odds first, second and third-placed runners

16 + runners - 1/4 odds first, second, third and fourth--placed runners

Please note that the horse racing betting line-up might not be available in your country or on your device.
