WhichBookie racing analyst Andrew Blair White provides a preview and betting tips for races at Wexford on Wednesday 25th May.
Bookies pay Extra Places on selected races every day and can result in additional profits over time from your horse racing bets.
See the table below for today’s extra place offers which are updated automatically on a daily basis.
We update the list of Extra Place Races every morning to provide you with an up-to-date list of Extra Place Offers for the day.
Click through to each bookmaker to bet on eligible races and take advantage of the additional places available for your each way horse racing bets.
Extra Places apply to each way bets and in the case of the list above, each way bets on horse racing.
When placing an each way bet, you are essentially placing two bets in one. Half of your total stake will be placed on the horse to win and the other half will be placed on the horse to finish in a place position.
Industry-standard place terms can be seen below.
Several bookmakers offer additional places on selected races each day. When doing so, the place part of each way bets is paid out on additional places.
Betfred Extra Places are available most days and on selected races and are one of several reasons why they are one of our most recommended bookies for horse racing. Will Hill are also another great choice of bookie for horse racing with several racing offers available on a daily basis. William Hill Extra Places apply to selected races which can be found on the promotions page of the website. Lastly, you’ll also find that Paddy Power Extra Places can be found regularly on UK, Irish and International races and with offers such as Money Back if 2nd and other refund promotions available, they’re a great bookmaker account to have for your racing bets.
Example.
In a handicap race with 12 runners, bookmakers would generally pay out on each way bets if the horse finished in positions 1 – 3. However, if a bookmaker was offering an extra place on this race, they would also pay out if your runner finished in 4 position.
Essentially, they increase your chances of a return from your each way bets.
Not all bookmakers that take bets on horse racing offer Extra Places and some offer more places than others along with running the promotions more frequently.
For example, Paddy Power may be offering 6 places instead of 4 on the Grand National but Betfred may be offering 8 places instead of four on the same race.
Generally, we have found that the following bookmakers offer Extra Places most frequently.
