If you bet \u201c\u00a31 each way\u201d, for example, the stake you\u2019ll be wagering is \u00a32 \u2013 that is, \u00a31 for each of the two bets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The first bet wagers a stake on the selection to win at the selected odds. The second bet wagers an equal stake on the place, typically at \u00bc of the odds offered for the win. This bet pays out if the selection wins or achieves a place (typically a finish in the top three positions) in the event.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How-to-make-an-each-way-bet-online\"><\/span>How to make an each-way bet online<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>The betting slip you use to place bets with an online sportsbook will feature an \u201cEach Way\u201d betting box, usually marked E\/W. Ticking this box will convert a bet on a selection into an each-way bet, automatically doubling the amount staked on the selection.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Example-of-an-each-way-bet\"><\/span>Example of an each-way bet<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\r\n\r\n<div class=\"notice green spacing-lg\">\r\n    <div class=\"icon\">\r\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.bethq.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/02\/example.png\" alt=\"Example\">\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    <div class=\"text\">\r\n        <p>Imagine you decide to place a \u00a35 bet on a horse named Lightning Bolt to win a race at odds of 10\/1, and then you tick the E\/W (each-way) box on your betting slip. This action splits your bet into two \u00a35 wagers, making your total stake \u00a310.<\/p>\n<p>The first \u00a35 is bet on Lightning Bolt winning the race at 10\/1 odds (bet #1). The second \u00a35 is bet at odds of 2.5\/1 (10\/1 divided by 4) on Lightning Bolt to finish in one of the top places, as specified by the bookmaker (bet #2).<\/p>\n<p>If Lightning Bolt wins the race, both of your bets pay out. This means you&#8217;ll receive 5 x 10 (bet #1) + 5 x 2.5 (bet #2) + 10 (your original stake), totaling a return of \u00a375.<\/p>\n<p>However, if Lightning Bolt finishes the race in second or third place (or another place if specified by the bookmaker&#8217;s terms), only your second bet pays out. In this scenario, you would earn 5 x 2.5 (bet #2) + 5 (the winning stake from bet #2) &#8211; 5 (the losing stake from bet #1), giving you a total return of \u00a317.50.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"When-to-bet-each-way\"><\/span>When to bet each way<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Each-way betting is worthwhile only if the odds are high enough that you\u2019ll generate an overall profit if your selection achieves a place but doesn\u2019t win outright. For this reason, each-way betting should only be done when your selection is priced over 4\/1 for an each-way bet paying 1\/4 odds on a place, or 5\/1 for an each-way bet paying out 1\/5 odds on a place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p>It\u2019s also worth looking out for extra place specials if you\u2019re planning to place each-way bets.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p>Sportsbooks frequently offer additional place payouts on events, ranging from tennis and golf tournaments to high-profile horse races. This improves the chance that an each-way bet will win, making it a better proposition.<\/p>\n\n\n        <a href=\"https:\/\/www.bethq.com\/go\/william-hill\" class=\"link-box size-sm\">Place an each-way bet at William Hill now<\/a>\r\n<script>function PlayerjsAsync(){} if(window[\"Playerjs\"]){PlayerjsAsync();}<\/script>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Have your cake and eat it \u2013 combine win and place bets into a single each-way bet.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":4686,"parent":0,"template":"","topics":[22],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bethq.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/how-to-bet\/3192"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bethq.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/how-to-bet"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bethq.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/how-to-bet"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bethq.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/4686"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.bethq.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3192"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"topics","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.bethq.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topics?post=3192"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
