Two bets in one: a win part and a place part. Enter the stake per part, the price and the terms, and see what comes back if your pick wins, places or misses.

Total stake: £20.00 (2 bets: £10 win + £10 place)
Supports decimal (5.0), fractional (4/1), or American (+400)
Two halves of one bet
An each-way bet is a win bet and a place bet at the same stake, so £8 each way costs £16. The place half pays a fraction of the win odds (1/4, 1/5 and so on) if your pick finishes inside the paid places. In football you'll find it on outright and top-scorer markets as well as on racing and golf.
Place odds = 1 + (decimal odds − 1) × place fraction
The break-even rule
The place half covers your whole outlay once the place odds reach 2.0. At 1/4 terms that happens from 4/1 upwards; at 1/5 terms you need 5/1 or bigger. Anything shorter and a placed finish still loses you money.
That's the each-way sweet spot: double-figure prices, where a place on its own shows a profit and a win pays handsomely.
Three each-way bets compared
| Bet | Terms | Wins | Places | Misses |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| £8 EW at 12/1 | 1/4, top 3 | +£120.00 | +£16.00 | −£16.00 |
| £8 EW at 9/2 | 1/5, top 2 | +£43.20 | −£0.80 | −£16.00 |
| £4 EW at 20/1 | 1/5, top 3 | +£96.00 | +£12.00 | −£8.00 |
Calls worth making
- •Short price? Win only. At 9/2 with 1/5 terms the place half can't cover your stake. Put the whole lot on the win.
- •Extra places beat a bigger price. When one bookmaker pays an extra place, that usually adds more value than a slightly longer win price.
- •Check the stake. The figure you enter is per part. The calculator doubles it for the total outlay.
