Enter your stake, decimal odds, and place terms to instantly see your return for all three outcomes: your selection wins, places, or loses. Supports ¼, ⅕, and ⅓ place fractions with 2–5 place markets.
Enter your selection's decimal win odds, stake per part, and the bookmaker's place terms to calculate all three outcomes.
Total stake = 2× this amount
An each-way bet is two bets in one: a win bet and a place bet of equal stakes. If your selection wins, you collect both the win return and the place return. If it only places (finishes in the top 2, 3, 4 or 5 positions depending on the market), you collect only the place return and lose the win stake. If it doesn't place, you lose both stakes.
Place terms define the fraction of the win odds paid for a place. Common terms: ¼ odds (standard for horse racing with 8+ runners), ⅕ odds (for 16+ runner handicaps), ⅓ odds (enhanced each-way offers). If a horse wins at 10/1 (11.0 decimal) and place terms are ¼ odds, the place odds are 10/4 = 2.5/1 (3.5 decimal).
Place return = place stake × (1 + (win odds − 1) × place fraction). For example: £5 stake, 8.0 decimal odds, ¼ place terms = £5 × (1 + (8.0 − 1) × 0.25) = £5 × 2.75 = £13.75 return (£8.75 profit).
Each-way betting is most valuable on selections at odds above roughly 5/1 (6.0 decimal) in competitive fields where finishing in the places is realistic. For heavy favourites at short odds, the place return is minimal and a win-only bet is usually better value. Each-way bets excel in large-field horse races, golf tournaments, and accumulator markets.
