What's each-way betting?

To place an each-way bet you’ll need to take a selection to the bet slip. If a bet of this type can be made, an 'E/W' tick box will appear. Simply click this to make your desired each-way bet. Remember, your stake will be doubled.

Horse racing
Unless otherwise stated, horse racing will always settle on the place terms below, based on the number of horses running in the race:

Runners Race type Place terms
2-4 All races Winner only
5-7 All races 1/4 of the odds - 1st and 2nd
8+ Non-handicap 1/5 of the odds - 1st, 2nd and 3rd
8-11 Handicap 1/5 of the odds - 1st, 2nd and 3rd
12-15 Handicap 1/4 of the odds - 1st, 2nd and 3rd
16+ Handicap 1/4 of the odds - 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th

If your horse finishes first, both your win and place bets will be settled as winners and you will receive the full amount stated on your bet receipt. If your selection doesn’t win but places (place terms differ depending on the number of runners and race type), you will be paid at either 1/4 or 1/5 of the odds (depending again on the number of runners and race type).

Example:

You place a £10 each-way bet (£20 total stake) at odds of 10/1.
There are nine runners so the place terms are 1/5 of the odds with first, second and third places earning a payout.
If your horse comes in first, your total return will be £140 made up as follows:
Your win bet returns £110 (£100 profit plus £10 stake).
Your place bet returns £30 (£20 profit plus £10 stake).
If your horse finishes in third place, your total return will be £30 made up as follows:
Your win bet returns nothing and you lose your original £10 stake.
Your place bet returns £30 (£20 profit plus £10 stake).
Other sports and events
The terms for each-way bets on other sports will be different depending on the sport, market or competition. The place terms will show once you have gone into the event you wish to bet on. Please keep in mind each-way terms can change through an event’s life cycle.
