How To Use The Extra Place Calculator

1)

In the first box enter the Each Way Back Odds for the Horse. This is the Each Way Odds on the bookmaker and you need to enter it in decimal form. You can use the odds converter to the left of the calculator if you need to get the decimal odds.

Next enter the Each Way Stake that you are placing. This is half of your Total Stake and make sure you don't enter the Total Stake by mistake. Your Each Way Stake should be the value that you are actively entering on the bookmaker.
