  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.

      Thanks Bobby, pleased to hear you’re enjoying it!
      
      Generally speaking, you want the implied odds to be as high as possible, though it depends on your selection and their likelihood of finishing in the extra place(s). If you believe the implied odds are greater than the actual chance of your horse finishing in the extra places, it’s a bet worth placing. If not, leave it alone and look for another opportunity.
      
      I hope that helps.

  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.

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

  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.

  If you can keep your qualifying losses down, there’s nothing wrong with covering more than one horse across multiple bookmakers.

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!

  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.

Hi Matt,
how does one “select manually”? What is the process? I have seen the tools from OddsMonkey and PA – and they seem pretty excellent – I can’t see how a human could do it faster (or better). But lets assume for a second that one doesn’t have the tool – how would one select manually – what would be the process? A guide or blog article on this would be really useful!

  You won’t find bets quicker than using the premium tools that are out there Khalid, but it’s an option if you don’t want to pay the subscription fees.
  
  Simply plug the numbers into my Each Way Calculator using the ‘Extra Place‘ setting and see if there’s a decent profit to be had for a small qualifying loss. If you feel the odds you’re getting make it a profitable opportunity long-term, you can go ahead and place your bets.
  
  You’ll make a small loss most of the time while you wait to hit the big wins, so it’s important that you’re comfortable with those potential qualifying losses. Also, you’ll find more opportunities on a weekend and during the big meetings/festivals than you will on a regular weekday.

Hi, I for one appreciate this list being posted daily. Just thought I would say that 1 extra piece of info that would be very good to have, would be the number of runners scheduled to take part. I appreciate that you may not have time to update the page as non runners are announced, and it’s not too much hard work checking this for myself either, but that would be good to have posted alongside the other info.

  Hi there, thanks for suggesting this. It’s something I’ve considered including before actually but I decided against it. Like you say, it’s just not possible to update the number of runners throughout the day, so even if I included the early numbers, you would still need to check them manually anyway. I do include the runners required for each bookmaker though, which hopefully you find useful.

Paddy Power only paid 5 places on the 2:25 at York on Saturday, not 6 places like you said. I backed the 6th place, King Of The Castle. No returns. Thanks.

  Hi John,
  
  I think it’s worth stressing here that the information I provide on the blog should be used as a guide only. Mistakes do happen from time to time and you guys should be checking the terms of each offer before you get involved.
  
  That said, I’m pretty sure this one was 6 places at Paddy Power. I checked Oddschecker after seeing your comment and it was still listed on there as 6 places and there weren’t any non-runners as far as I can see. If you’re missing a decent payout I’d be inclined to get in touch with them and ask the question.
  
  I hope you get some answers.

Hi there,

Do you have a rule for what kind of effective/potential odds you accept when doing extra place bets? I guess it depends on the number of places but still…

Thanks.

  Hi Huw,
  
  Yes it does depend on the number of places and runners really. If you’re familiar with calculating your effective odds, you can use those to gauge whether or not it’s a profitable bet long-term.
  
  If you feel you’re getting much better odds than the chance of hitting the extra place, then it’s a bet worth placing. If you’re unsure, or you feel it’s borderline, just leave it and look for another opportunity.
  
  I hope that helps.

  Hi John,
  
  Sorry, your comments went into the queue for moderation which can happen sometimes. I always try to respond to people’s queries promptly but sometimes that’s not possible as I can’t be online 24/7.
  
  The extra place races you’ll see listed on this page each day are those available online, they don’t cover extra places available in-shop.
  
  I hope that helps.

Hi,

Could you add number of runners next to race please? I guess this could be quite helpful as chances are higher to hit extra place as there’s closer number of tu bets to minimum allowed per bookie. Not sure if everyone I’d find it quite useful. Thanks.

      Thanks @Matt. I’m matched bettor since 2015 as well. I think you’re doing great work here and as we both know MB has gone down since the early days in terms of offers and value of the offers but it’s still quite a profitable source of extra income.

      Thanks, @Aik83. Yes, the matched betting landscape has changed a fair bit over the last few years, but like you say, it’s still well worth getting involved with for that extra income.

Question, if I place a bet in shop do I get the extra places from William Hill?

  Yes, Annette, William Hill offer extra places in their shops. You would need to check the in-shop terms though as they may differ from their online offerings, I’m not sure.

  Hi Jake,
  
  It depends on the number of places and runners really, and how you feel about the bet. If you feel your implied odds are much better than the chance of hitting the extra place(s), then it’s a bet worth placing. If you’re unsure, or you feel it’s borderline, just leave it and look for another opportunity.

Hi Matt, old time Matched Bettor here – got heavily involved in 2006-2008 which supplemented my wife’s maternity leave and meant she could stay off work longer!

Haven’t done any matched betting for a long time and just done a few new offers thanks to coming across your site.

Quick question re these extra place offers – finding it really hard to find any decent matches. I take it that on a quiet day, I’m likely to find closer matches much closer to the start of the race rather than trawling through odds on the 17.05 at Thirsk at 9 in the morning?

Cheers.

  Hi Chris,
  
  Fantastic to hear that matched betting gave your wife the luxury of staying at home longer. That’s what it’s all about.
  
  If you haven’t already, take a look at my Matched Betting Academy for a walkthrough of all the available sign up offers. There may be some bookmakers you’ve not signed up with yet.
  
  With the extra places, I think it’s a case of checking the odds every once in a while to see what’s available. It’s more the case that there are fewer opportunities on regular weekdays than weekends and during festivals.
  
  I hope that helps.

Hi Matt,

How do odds boosts work with each way bets? I used a boost on william hill, my horse finished in the places but not the extra place and I’m trying to figure out why I’ve lost more than I expected. Could it be something to do with the boost only applying to the win part of the bet?

  Hi John,
  
  I would have thought the price boost would apply to both parts of an each way bet.
  
  If you want to send over the details of your bets, I’ll see if I can shed any light on it for you.

    hi Matt,
    
    I backed the horse £10 EW at 18.5. Layed the win £10 at 18.5, and layed the place £8.18 at 5.5. 0% commission on both.
    
    Expected to lose about £1.82, but I lost £4.81. Not sure what I’ve done wrong but I’d like to figure it out for future races!
