Each-Way Betting in Ireland: Stakes and Place Terms

How the stake is split

If you stake €5 each-way, the total stake is €10: €5 on the win part and €5 on the place part. If the selection wins, both parts may return under the market terms. If it finishes in a qualifying place without winning, only the place part is settled as a winner.

Place terms control the calculation

The market states how many places qualify and the fraction of the win odds used for the place part. For example only, at 8/1 with one-fifth place odds, a €5 place part returns €13 including stake (5 × 1.6 + 5). Actual terms vary by event and market; read the displayed terms before selecting.

Calculate total return

Add the win return and place return when both parts win; subtract the original total stake to find net profit. If only the place part qualifies, calculate that part’s return and compare it with the full each-way stake. Use the calculator below to enter odds, stake and place fraction.
