What is 6/1 Each Way?
In 6/1 each way betting, you’re effectively placing two bets: one for the selection to win (at 6/1 odds) and another for the selection to place.
The place bet usually pays out at a fraction of the win odds (often 1/4 or 1/5 of the odds) and is successful if the selection finishes within certain positions (e.g., top three).
Examples
Assuming place terms are 1/4 of the win odds:
- Bet £1 (50p each for win and place):
- Place Bet: If only the place bet wins, profit = (1/4 * 6) * £0.50 = £0.75. Total return (profit + stake) = £0.75 + £0.50 = £1.25.
- Win Bet: If the win bet also succeeds, add £6 (win part) + £0.50 stake = £6.50, for a total return of £7.75.
- Bet £5 (£2.50 each for win and place):
- Place Bet: Profit = (1/4 * 6) * £2.50 = £3.75. Total return = £3.75 + £2.50 = £6.25.
- Win Bet: If win, add £15 + £2.50 = £17.50, for a total return of £23.75.
- Bet £10 (£5 each for win and place):
- Place Bet: Profit = (1/4 * 6) * £5 = £7.50. Total return = £7.50 + £5 = £12.50.
- Win Bet: If win, add £30 + £5 = £35, for a total return of £47.50.
- Bet £25 (£12.50 each for win and place):
- Place Bet: Profit = (1/4 * 6) * £12.50 = £18.75. Total return = £18.75 + £12.50 = £31.25.
- Win Bet: If win, add £75 + £12.50 = £87.50, for a total return of £118.75.
- Bet £50 (£25 each for win and place):
- Place Bet: Profit = (1/4 * 6) * £25 = £37.50. Total return = £37.50 + £25 = £62.50.
- Win Bet: If win, add £150 + £25 = £175, for a total return of £237.50.
- Bet £100 (£50 each for win and place):
- Place Bet: Profit = (1/4 * 6) * £50 = £75. Total return = £75 + £50 = £125.
- Win Bet: If win, add £300 + £50 = £350, for a total return of £475.
In each example, the total return includes both the winnings and the stake. Remember, if the selection doesn’t place and doesn’t win, the entire bet is lost.
What is 6/1 Odds in Decimal
Decimal odds include the return of the stake. 6/1 in decimal format is 7.00.
- £100 bet at 7.00 decimal odds:
- Total return = £100 * 7.00 = £700, which includes your £100 stake and £600 in winnings.
