What does 4/9 Each Way mean?
“Each way” betting involves two parts: a ‘win’ bet and a ‘place’ bet. For 4/9 each way, half of your stake goes on the selection to win at 4/9 odds, and the other half goes on the selection to ‘place’ at a fraction of the win odds (commonly 1/4 or 1/5).
The ‘place’ part depends on specific conditions like the number of participants.
For instance, with a £10 each-way bet at 4/9 odds (assuming the place odds are 1/4 of 4/9):
- £5 goes on the win at 4/9
- £5 goes on the place at 1/4 of 4/9 (i.e., 1/9)
The potential return for each stake as an each-way bet considering both win and place outcomes.
