Basic Betting Terms
Win
When you back a horse to Win, you win if your horse finishes first.
Place
A horse scores a place when it finishes in the first three across the line. If there are only seven or less runners the horse must finish either first or second to place.
Each Way
An each way bet is when you bet the same amount on the horse for a win and for a place. There is no collect for third place if there are less than eight runners (except late scratchings) where deductions could apply. If there is fewer than three runners, there is no place.
