How is each way calculated in horse racing?

An each way bet gives you an equal stake on the win and place markets. For example: If you have $10 each way on a horse, your total stake is $20. $10 for the win, and $10 for the place. Let’s say the price you get on your horse is $7.50 (Win) and $2.10 (Place).

How do I calculate my winnings on a each way bet?

When you bet each way, you have two bets; one for the horse to finish first, and a second bet for the horse to finish in the top four or five (varies according to by race). The winnings for the latter bet are calculated by applying the fraction (usually 1/4) to the original odds available.

Is each way top 3 or 4?

It essentially gives you the chance to get a return on your money if the horse you back doesn’t win but instead finishes in 2nd, 3rd, 4th or 5th place. Each-way means you are betting on two things. The first is that the horse will win. The second is that it will finish anywhere up to 5th place.

How much does an each way bet pay?

If you place a bet which is EW (1/5, 3 places) and your horse finishes in the top 3, you’ll win your bet. The place portion of your bet will pay out at 1/5 of the odds that you took that horse for. Should the horse come first you’ll receive the pay out on both the Win and Place portions of your bet.
