Each way betting is a popular form of wagering in horse racing that essentially combines two bets into one - a win bet and a place bet. This betting method is particularly favored by Indian racing enthusiasts as it provides some insurance against your horse not winning but still finishing in a placed position.
In Indian horse racing, the standard each way betting rules typically follow these guidelines: The each way bet is divided into two equal parts. The first part is for the horse to win the race, while the second part is for the horse to finish in one of the predetermined placed positions. The number of placed positions varies depending on the number of runners in the race.
For races with 5-7 runners, most Indian bookmakers pay place terms for the first two positions only. For races with 8 or more runners, the standard practice is to pay place terms for the first three positions. In major handicap races with 16 or more runners, some bookmakers may even offer place terms for the first four positions.
The place part of your each way bet typically pays at a fraction of the win odds. The most common fractions used by Indian bookmakers are 1/4 or 1/5 of the win odds. This means if you place a ₹1000 each way bet （total ₹2000） on a horse at 10/1 odds and it wins, you would receive ₹1000 × 10 = ₹10,000 for the win part plus ₹1000 × （10 × 1/4） = ₹2,500 for the place part, totaling ₹12,500 plus your original stake back.
Many Indian racing platforms like Bet365 India, 10Cric, and LeoVegas India offer each way betting with clear terms displayed before you place your wager. It\“s crucial for Indian punters to always check the specific each way terms as they can vary between bookmakers and different race types. |
