  It varies from day to day John. There are more opportunities on a weekend or during big festivals than there are midweek. That’s not to say there aren’t any opportunities midweek though, they’re just a bit trickier to find.

  Possibly not Matthew. It’s best to look at the ‘Implied Odds‘ column to see if the bet you are placing is going to be profitable long-term.

  It’s a little tricky with those as non-runners could mean the extra place is no longer being paid and therefore no potential profit for the extra place.
  
  There’s a table at the top of my Extra Place Strategy page that shows the standard place terms, which we can use as a guide.

Hi Matt,

Is there a limit to the number of horses per race you can back at each bookmaker? If I were to back 3/4 at one bookmaker would they restrict my account?

What is the maximum amount you can back for each horse? Or a better way of asking would be what is the maximum payout per horse that the bookmaker would allow?

Thanks

  Hi Joel,
  
  There’s no limit on the number of horses you can back in any one race, but backing 3-4 horses with the same bookmaker may act as a red flag eventually.
  
  In terms of maximum stakes, it depends on the bookmaker and any restrictions they may have placed on your account.
  
  I hope that helps.

  Hi Dave. Do you mean if you hit Best Odds Guaranteed? If so, you would need to do that manually. You can see your potential profit figures at the bottom of the extra place calculator, so it would just be a case of adjusting the figures on the bookie side (left).

Hi Matt,

Am to assume that the 5th Favourite in odds would be the best horses to back here if only backing the one horse in a race, as it makes logical sense that they would place 5th more times than the other horses, what that % is l don’t know but l would imagine it could be as high the times a favourite comes first as that also makes sense, if dutching l guess if you back the top five horses in the race you’re strike rate will be extremely high.

  I wouldn’t pay too much attention to their pre-race ranking Jeremy, though I understand what you’re saying.
  
  Just focus on keeping your qualifying losses low and you’ll hit the extra places over time.

Hi, I’m going to try extra places for the first time today. With limited funds to cover as many races as possible are you more likely to win the extra place on 6 places rather than 4 places would you lay 3 or 4 places on the exchange?

  Hi Jen,
  
  Put simply, you’re looking to lay less places at the exchange than you’re backing at the bookmaker. For example, if the bookmaker is paying 4 places, you’ll want to lay 3 places. In that instance, you should be looking at a big profit if your horse finishes exactly 4th (the extra place).
  
  If a bookmaker is paying 6 places, chances are you’ll be laying 4 places at the exchange, which gives you two places to hit (5th and 6th) instead of just the usual one place.
  
  I hope that helps.

I had a bet on the 4.00 at York today with Unibet and the selection came 5th. However my bet lost because there were non-runners. When the bet was placed it stated 5 places, oddscheckers stated 5 places and your website doesn’t indicate a number of runners restriction. When I contacted Unibet they sent me a link to their terms and conditions which does state that for 5 places to apply there must be 16 runners. These T&Cs are difficult to find on their normal website.

Cheers, I took a look at the 6pm at Chelmsford which Paddy are offering an extra place for, but as you had alluded to perhaps as it’s midweek and not a huge race I’m finding it difficult to find any low QLs (everything was in the region of 20% of total stake which seems way too high?)

Had a question regarding the markets on Betfair but think it’s been answered already – we would always go for the win and “to place” market and ignore the each way one in the middle wouldn’t we?

Cheers, A

  Yes there are usually more opportunities at a weekend and during the big meetings.
  
  That’s correct. In theory the ‘Each Way’ market is a viable option but the odds are rarely as good as laying the ‘Win’ and ‘Place’ parts separately.

  It depends on your qualifying losses really Ian.
  
  If you can keep your qualifying losses down, there’s nothing wrong with covering more than one horse across multiple bookmakers.
  
  Otherwise just stick with the one horse.

Made a mistake today and lost £30.

Was thinking that William Hill would be 4 places for 11+ runners as per usual but it was only for 12+ then horse came 4th so I lost at bookies and exchange…

Just be careful everyone… don’t just double check, triple check everything.

    I think WH have been very sneaky changing this because it was still 11+ runners as recently as a week ago. Of course they have no obligation to tell anyone they’re changing it and we have to check the T+Cs.

Hi Matt,

Might be a stupid question but on your each way calculator, when you put in the each way stake value as say £10, presume that means you have entered £5 in the stake on the bookmaker which then doubles up to 10 when each way is selected? As opposed to placing £10 which becomes £20 if that makes sense?

  Hi Gary,
  
  There aren’t any silly questions mate. It’s always best to ask if you’re unsure of something.
  
  If you enter £10.00, that means you’ve staked £10.00 each way at the bookmaker. That’s £10.00 on the horse to win and £10.00 on the horse to place, so a total stake of £20.00.
  
  There’s a small ‘?’ symbol next to some of the fields on the calculators which give you more information about what figure(s) you need to enter.
  
  Hope that helps!

  Best Odds Guaranteed is only ever a bonus anyway Michael, it’s not something we should be chasing.
  
  I don’t think this is such bad news for us matched bettors. They’re doubling the amount of extra place races and increasing the amount of ‘Money Back as Cash’ offers, so I would say it’s swings and roundabouts.
