Traditional bookies usually limit each way payouts to a fixed number of places. However, Each Way Edge adapts this by letting you select your own slots, adjusting odds in the process.
Imagine you want to back ‘Fraser Island’ in the 12:20 at Newbury. Bookies might offer 3 places at 1/5 odds for each way bets. With Each Way Edge, you could modify this to pay out if your horse places in the top 2, 3, 4, or even 5.
View images below to see how altering the place terms with Each Way Edge impacts your bet's odds.

Notice how increasing the number of places reduces potential returns.
With a £10 each way bet (totaling £20), here's how returns could vary based on your chosen places:
- 2 Places: £38
- 3 Places: £35
- 4 Places: £32.60
- 5 Places: £30.91
Betfair's Each Way Edge is perfect for those wanting flexibility in their betting strategy. It's beneficial if you're confident your horse might place differently than standard or just outside typical places. Adjust it to match your insights.
This feature is open for certain horse races at Betfair. Simply add a horse to your betslip, and if eligible, the option for Each Way Edge will appear. Choose your preferred number of places, stake your bet, and you're set.
