Each-way betting is essentially two bets - you are backing a horse to win and to place. This means you get a return if your horse is placed in a race but does not win. If there are sixteen or more runners in the field, you will receive a pay out if your horse finishes in the first four. If you place an each-way bet and your selection finishes 2nd, 3rd or 4th, you are paid out at 1/4 of the horse’s starting price.

Once you have chosen your selection for a race, check its current odds and consider whether the price is big enough to warrant an each-way bet.
