I was looking at the odds for a runner on the 19:17 Pontefract for the runner "Right Now". So the odds to win are currently 12 and the odds for a top 2 finish are 3.85 while the ea11 runners 4 places 1/5odds 36.36%, another non-runner scuppers it, 2 from 5 40% 1/4odds another n/r at least goes ATWhttps://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31874943/each-way-betting?post_id=564760933#56476093311 runners 4 places 1/5odds 36.36%, another non-runner scuppers it, 2 from 5 40% 1/4odds another n/r at least goes ATWSun, 01 Jun 2025 07:08:20 -0500Agree mostly with TM and tbh have not read every post so apologies if covered elsewhere.

Although BFSP was 2pts better, at the time of betting I took 15/2 when the BF price was similar, so that could generally be an advantage as we're never sure which way the price will go.

You get 2 equally staked bets; made up of (nearly always) a pretty poor value win bet (compared to Win price on an exchange) buhttps://community.betfair.com/horse_racing/go/thread/view/94102/31874943/each-way-betting?post_id=564760795#564760795Still a good pick PHS - but an accurate assessment of EW betting (with bookmakers) imo is that you are making a trade off.
