Free Odds Calculator – Each Way Rules
An each way bet essentially covers the places as well as an outright win bet. This is most common when placing a bet on horse racing.
The first bet is on your chosen horse to win. The second is a bet on your chosen horse to place. It really is as simple as that.
As an example, a £10 stake will equal a total stake of £20. £10 on the selection to win and £10 on the selection to place.
Make sure you check the place terms on your selection before placing a bet. Usually, the places will be second, third or fourth.
Place terms will always specify the number of places paid out in a particular event, as well as the fraction of the odds you receive if the selection finishes in the places. More often than not, this will be 1/4 or 1/5.
In each way betting, if your selection wins you will receive both the win and place parts of the bet.
However, if your selection finishes in the places, you ‘lost’ the win section of the bet but win the place part.
