🐎Each-Way Calculator

Each-way = two bets: half your money on the win, half on the place. Total outlay shown below is your full stake (win + place).

How the Each-Way Calculator Works

An each-way bet is really two bets of equal size: one on your selection to win, and one on it to place (finish in the top few, e.g. top 3, 4 or 5 depending on the field). So a "$10 each-way" bet costs $20 in total — $10 on the win and $10 on the place.

The place part is paid at a fraction of the win odds — commonly 1/5 or 1/4. The calculator works out the reduced place odds and then shows what happens in each scenario.

Each-Way Formula

Worked example

$10 each-way on a 6.00 (5/1) selection with 1/5 place terms. Place odds = 1 + (6.00 − 1) × 0.2 = 2.00. If it wins: $10 × 6.00 + $10 × 2.00 = $80 back from a $20 outlay ($60 profit). If it only places: $10 × 2.00 = $20 back — exactly your outlay, so you break even.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does each-way mean?+
Each-way is two equal bets in one: half your stake on the selection to win, half on it to place (finish in the top few). You pay for both, so a $10 each-way bet costs $20.
What are place terms like 1/5?+
Place terms set how much of the win odds the place part pays. 1/5 means the place pays one-fifth of the win odds. The number of places paid depends on the size of the field.
When should I bet each-way?+
Each-way is popular on bigger-priced selections in large fields (horse racing, golf), where a place finish is likely enough to be worth insuring against the selection not quite winning.
What happens if my selection wins?+
Both parts pay: you collect the full win odds on the win half and the place odds on the place half. That is the maximum each-way return.
