With some races being handicapped and some not featuring a handicap, this can affect the place&#8217;s prices. Here at<\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oddsmonkey.com\/\"> <span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">OddsMonkey<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, we will look at some of the terms and conditions that bookmakers use and how they can affect your bets in each way to ensure that you are fully aware of all the intracises surrounding place bets.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Each way bets are the most common in horse racing. These could potentially see returns be made even if the horse does not win the race but if they place in a certain category instead. One prime example would be if a horse comes within the top 4 finishers. These bets can be affected by different variables, such as a handicap or the number of horses running in a race.

These could potentially result in returns even if the person or team you have backed doesn&#8217;t win, but instead finishes in the identified places.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For example, in a golf tournament, you can make a bet each way for a golfer to finish in the top 4, with a bonus coming if they win the tournament. These types of bets have become immensely popular due to their flexibility. It is important to know that these each-way bets actually come as 2 separate bets, with the place bet return usually coming as a fraction of the other winning bet.
