"Placed" counts only on an each-way bet: the win part loses and the place part pays at the place terms. A void leg counts at odds of 1.00.
How does each way betting work?
An each-way bet is two bets of the same stake on one selection: one to win, one to place. €5 each way costs €10. If the selection wins, both parts pay — the win part at the full odds, the place part at a fraction of them. If it only places, the win part loses and the place part still pays. Out of the places, both lose.
The place part pays at the place terms, a fraction of the odds such as 1/4 or 1/5. At 8/1 with 1/4 terms the place odds are 2/1: a placed selection returns €15 on the €5 place part, so €10 staked each way comes back as €15 even though it did not win.
In football, each way is offered mainly on outright markets — the league winner, top scorer, relegation — where the bookmaker names how many places it pays and at what fraction. Check both before you bet: the same price with fewer places or a smaller fraction is a worse bet.
| Bet | How many |
|---|---|
| Single | 1 |
| Total | 1 |
A worked example
8/1 that places, €1 each way at 1/4 odds: 8/1 (9.00, placed). The each-way bet costs €2.00 and returns €3.00 — a profit of €1.00. The figures above are the calculator's own: change any price or result to see how the return moves.
Football selections
These bets started on the racecourse but settle the same on football: a selection is any call at its price — a result, over 2.5 goals, both teams to score, an outright. Every leg carries the bookmaker's margin, and multiples multiply it, so the margin calculator is worth a look before you choose prices, and our match predictions put the model's calls beside the bookmaker's prices — the day's Free Picks open to everyone. For one straight multiple, use the accumulator calculator.
