Wednesday 15th July 2020
There’s a big day of horse racing today and the bookies are getting in on the action. They’re paying an extra place on selected races at Downpatrick, Catterick, Killarney and Kempton. If I’ve missed any other extra place offers, please add them in the comments section at the bottom of the page.
If you’re unsure how to profit from these each way boosts, please see my Extra Place Strategy page for a walk-through guide on how it should be done!

Extra Place Matcher
Just to let you guys know, OddsMonkey have a great Extra Place Matcher tool that you may find useful…
The Extra Place Matcher scans live odds and flags up any profitable opportunities that are available. As you can see from the above screenshot, the tool can flag up some huge potential profits for minimal qualifying losses.
There’s nothing wrong with manually searching for selections if that’s your preference, but this really is a great tool and can save you a lot of time.
John
Guest userDo you make any money from these? The odds matches always seem terrible?
Matt
294It 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.
sam
Guest userHow do I access reload offers on the forum or is it possible to follow a blog of someone doing the daily offers?
Matt
294You can find the offers available to existing customers on my blog page Sam…

Matthew S
Guest userWhat rating would you commonly use as your minimum to place a bet, is it worth doing anything below 95%?
Matt
294Possibly 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.
sleepless
5What is the situation with minimum number of places if bookies don’t specify?
Matt
294It’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.
Chria
Guest userAre these in shop and online?
Matt
294These are available online Chria. I’m not sure about extra places in shop.
Joel
Guest userHi 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
Matt
294Hi 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.
Dave
Guest userHi, how can you work out your profit if the odds increase? The calculator doesn’t let you change the price but keep the lay amounts
Matt
294Hi 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).
Jeremy
Guest userHi 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.
Matt
294I 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.
Jen
Guest userHi, 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?
Matt
294Hi 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.
Michael C
Guest userI 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.
Matt
294Yes they don’t make their runner requirements very clear Michael.
I’ve had a look at their T&C’s though and I’ll start adding those from today.
Michael C
Guest userWhy are the Dundalk races on here? They are all 16+ runner handicaps where the standard terms are 4 places at 1/4 odds.
Matt
294They’re listed as extra place races on the bookmaker sites Michael and we can lay 3 places at the exchanges.
Adrian W
Guest userAny reason you don’t include BetStars, Matt?
Usually same races as others.
Matt
294No, to be honest Adrian. I’ll keep an eye out for them.
TheBigA
13Thanks for putting all this info out there. I’m about 5-6 weeks into my MB adventure and it seems like a good time to give the extra place offers a whirl, in the lead up to Cheltenham!
Matt
294You’re very welcome!
It’s certainly not a bad time to learn the ropes, with plenty of Festivals coming up over the next few months.
If you have any questions, just give me a shout.
TheBigA
13Cheers, 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
Matt
294Yes 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.
Michael C
Guest userLadbrokes are offering 4 places on quite a few races at Gulfstream today and they look like quite good value.
Matt
294Are you laying those at BETDAQ Michael?
Ian
Guest userMatt, if 4/5 bookies are offering extra places on same race, do you do 4/5 horses or 1 n hope for the biggie? Cheers, Ian.
Matt
294It 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.
scabbadab
114Matt you have been brillant posting up all these Extra place races in so much precise detail and also so early the night before each day!. Fantastic!!!
Matt
294No problem @scabbadab. I hope you guys on the forum have had a profitable week so far!
Mrs. S
Guest userAre you sure BetVictor is doing extra places today?
Matt
294They were listed earlier this morning, but not showing now. Thanks for flagging up.
Mark
Guest userMade 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.
Matt
294Absolutely Mark, sorry to hear you lost out.
I always try to ensure that the information on this page is accurate but like you say, please double check the places and runner requirements yourselves just to be sure.
Mark
Guest userCheers Matt.
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.
Matt
294Yes exactly right Mark. I find that the runner requirements do change from time to time, so it’s definitely something to keep an eye on.
Michael C
Guest userSandown 4.35 today there are only 7 runners declared but you have Sky 4 places 10 runners +
Matt
294Thanks for flagging that up Michael, it was supposed to be Betfred (3 places).
Michael C
Guest userSandown 5.10 BOYLESPORTS are only offering 3 places.
Matt
294Thanks Michael, updated.
