Can I profit from each-way betting?

An ‘each-way’ bet is a bet where your stake is split in two and half is put on your selection ‘to win’ and the other half is put on your selection ‘to place’. This is most associated with horse racing, but also applies to golf tournaments, first goalscorer markets, and some other areas.

Each-way betting isn’t particularly common in Australia, but occasionally there will be a matched betting opportunity that arises when a bookie offers extra places. This is normally on a big UK horse racing event or a major golf tournament.

Here are some threads on how to take advantage of the racing offers and the golf offers. We also have a video tutorial for golf.

We are sometimes asked if we will be adding an ‘Each-Way Matcher‘ to the site. This is a feature that can be found on some UK matched betting websites. Unfortunately, Australian bookmakers approach place betting in a different way from their UK counterparts, so this strategy would not work in Australia.
