"Each Way" bet question:

[Scooter777]

Would appreciate it if people would state what odds they're getting on their each way bets - how many places are paid, and what % paid on each position.

Does anyone get top 5 paid at 25% payoff for any of those places - i.e., 25% paid if 1st, or 2nd, or 3rd, or 4th, or 5th?

Is the above as good as it gets?
Or does that even exist?

What is standard?

The above is standard outside North America, though you also have to take into account dead-heat rules if, for example, 4 people are tied for 4th place.

What does happen in that case?

Or in the case where there are 4 people tied for 2nd?

If there are four people tied for 2nd, that means that there are still five people in the top-5, so the payout in unaffected.

If there are four people tied for 4th place, then you get your full place odds if your player finishes 1st, 2nd or 3rd, but the dead-heat rules will apply if your player finished 4th (payout based on 2/4 of the full stake).
