\nExtra Place Matcher\n<\/h1><\/div><\/section>
\n\n

This is an advanced tool. If you\u2019re just starting your matched betting journey, you probably won\u2019t be doing any extra place bets, but it\u2019s good to be aware of the tools and techniques that can help you continue to profit from matched betting one you\u2019ve completed the \u2018new customer offers\u2019.<\/p>\n

An each way bet is essentially 2 separate bets: one on the horse to win and one on the same horse to be \u2018placed\u2019. For a horse to be placed, it needs to finish in the top 1-4 runners, based on the number of horses in the race.<\/p>\n\n

If there are 16 horses in a race, there\u2019ll usually be 4 places to be paid. (This depends on the bookmaker and number of runners).<\/p>\n

Sometimes though, bookmakers choose to pay an extra place. For example, bookies who usually pay 4 places might up the offer to pay out on 5. This will always be one extra place on the Betfair lay market, meaning that there\u2019s potentially a huge pay out to be made.<\/p>\n\n
