Frequently Asked Questions
What Happens If My Selection Doesn’t Participate or Withdraws?

Do All Sportsbooks Offer Each Way Betting?
Many sportsbooks offer each way betting, but it's only universal to some. Furthermore, the place terms such as fraction of the odds and number of places offered may vary from one bookmaker to another. Always confirm with your chosen sportsbook first.
How Do I Know That Each Way Bet Offers Value?
Determining the value of each way bet can be complex. You must understand the odds place terms and evaluate your selection's chances of winning or achieving a placement. However, there are online calculators and tools to help you determine the profitability of your bet.
Can I Use Bonuses to Place Each Way Bets?
This depends on the bonus terms and conditions. Some bookmakers allow most bettors to use free bets to stake on each way bets. Always check in with your sportsbook.
What Happens to Each Way Bets If the Race is a Dead Heat?
Dead heats are when two or more runners cross the finish line simultaneously. If it occurs, bookmakers often divide the stake amount between the winners, which will affect how much you’ll receive from each way bet. However, specific rules might vary and also depend on the rules.
How Will My Each Way Bet Work When the Number of Runners Change?
The place positions will automatically change when the number of runners changes. However, if you have already placed your bet, most bookmakers will honour their initial place terms when you wagered.
Do Each Way Betting Terms Change During Big Races?
