Extra place promotions have become a staple of almost every betting site’s horse racing offers. Bookmakers increase the number of horses placed in a selection of races, giving your longshot each-way (E/W) selections a better chance of a return.
Which races have Extra Places today?
You’ll find each bookmaker’s daily selection of Extra Place Races on the horse racing page of their site. The majority will mark the day’s selected races with some form of Extra Places logo or label. Some sites also have a dedicated Extra Places promotion page with a complete list of the day’s qualifying selections.

How does each-way betting work?
An each-way (E/W) wager is formed of two bets, one on the horse to win and one on the horse to place. Having two bets means your stake is doubled, but also means you’re more likely to get a return on your bet. The place part of the bet will always be a fraction of the odds of the win bet, typically between 1/5 and 1/4.
Here’s a straightforward E/W betting example:
- You place a £5 E/W bet on a horse at odds of 5/1. This bet will cost you £10 overall, £5 to win and £5 to place. The bookmaker is paying three places on this race at 1/5 of the odds.
- If your horse wins, you’ll receive returns for both the win and the place, totalling £40.
- If your horse finishes second or third, you’ll receive payment for the place part of your bet but not the win bet. The odds for the place bet are 1/5 of the win odds, so you’d win £10.
The number of places for each race depends on the number of horses running and the bookmakers’ terms. It’s essential to check the specific place terms with the bookmaker when placing an each-way bet, as these can vary.
How do Extra Places give E/W horse racing bets more chance of winning?
Extra Places give your E/W selection a better chance to return you money! A general example of typical and enhanced places offered are as follows:
| No. of Horses | Standard E/W Odds | Standard E/W Places | Extra Place E/W Places |
|---|---|---|---|
| Less than 5 | E/W not offered | E/W not offered | E/W not offered |
| 5 – 7 | 1/4 | 1-2 | 1-2-3 |
| 8 or more | 1/5 | 1-2-3 | 1-2-3-4 |
| Handicaps of 12 to 15 | 1/4 | 1-2-3 | 1-2-3-4 |
| Handicaps of 16 or more | 1/4 | 1-2-3-4 | 1-2-3-4-5 |
Bookmakers may offer even more Extra Places for marquee races and meetings. Some bookmakers offered as many as 8 places for E/W bets on last year’s Aintree Grand National. Extra Place offers are most useful in races with larger fields. Landing an E/W wager is a lot more realistic than picking the winner of a cavalry charge style race, and adding more places makes E/W betting even more favourable for punters.
Which bookmakers offer extra places?
We’ve listed some at the top of this page, but almost every bookmaker will have some form of Extra Place promotion. The number and location of races selected varies between each betting site. The table below details the Extra Place offers you can take advantage of right now.

How we rank Extra Places – Bradley Skinner’s verdict
Generosity of the offer
The generosity of Best Odds Guaranteed shouldn’t be underestimated and is the most expensive of all the existing customer offers to maintain. The opportunity of receiving increased winnings can make a huge difference if you’re a regular horse racing bettor.
Regularity of the offer
Given that horse racing is one of the most popular sports to bet on, Extra Places has become a staple of most bookmakers’ betting offers. The location and number of Extra Place Races on offer differ at each site, but they all offer the promo daily.
Simplicity of the offer
Extra Places and all the permutations of the promo may seem complicated to a newer bettor, but it’s simple. The concept is straightforward if you’re familiar with horse racing or E/W betting. The selected races are always clearly labelled on betting sites, making it even easier.
Outlay to benefit from the offer
You are completely in control of your outlay when it comes to Extra Place Races. You can pick and choose which races you want to get involved in. The best way to maximise the value of the promo is to look for Extra Places when you fancy an outsider to run well.

Horse Racing Extra Places FAQs
Betting sites payout on each-way bets if your horse finishes in the first few places; the standard number of winning places depends on the size of the field. Bookmakers sometimes offer extra place races, increasing the number they pay out on in those contests. These promos give your E/W bets a much better chance of returning some cash.
Extra place offers increase the chances of you winning your E/W horse racing bets, so if you’ve got an outsider you want to back, it’s worth shopping around to see if there’s a betting site offering extra places on the race they’re running in. Extra place promos don’t cost you anything, so taking advantage of them whenever you can is definitely worth it.
Today’s extra place races vary across each betting site. You can typically find them on the horse racing page of the bookmaker you’re using. Some bookmakers also have a dedicated promotion page with a complete list of the daily extra place races.
The vast majority of bookmakers now have some form of Extra Place offer. Some big-name bookies that regularly offer Extra Place Races are William Hill, Ladbrokes and Betfair.
This is one form of Extra Place betting offer, where a bookmaker pays out E/W bets on more places than normal. An E/W bet on a race with 8 or more runners normally pays out for a top-three finish, but this offer means the fourth-place horse will also be an E/W winner.
The standard E/W terms for a race the size of the Aintree Grand National is 1/4 odds and the front 4 places. However, many bookmakers will extend the number of E/w places they pay for the iconic race, with some going to as many as 8 places on the day.
