How Does Each Way Betting Work for the Grand National?
Each way bets often provide good value as you are essentially placing two bets in one. You are betting on two potential outcomes which are the horse to win or finish in the places.
Bookmakers tend to pay more places for this race, with some as many as seven, giving you more of a chance of winning some money if your horse finishes 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th, or 7th.
For instance, if you placed a 40/1 each-way bet on today's Grand National, you'd receive 8/1 odds if your horse finished 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th or 7th.
Let's say you wagered £10 each way; your return would amount to £90. This £90 includes the £80 profit alongside your £10 stake returned. Your profit would be £70, excluding the win part of the bet.
In the event of your horse winning, your total returns would be £500. This calculation comprises £400 for the win, £80 for the place, and your £20 stakes returned.
