Each way football betting is a popular betting strategy that combines two types of bets in one single wager. This type of betting is commonly used in football matches and tournaments where there are multiple potential outcomes beyond just the winner.
In each way betting, your stake is divided into two equal parts. The first part is a bet on your selected team to win the match or tournament. The second part is a bet on your selected team to finish in one of the predetermined placing positions, typically the top 2, 3, or 4 positions depending on the competition rules.
For example, in a football tournament with each way terms of 1/4 odds for top 2 positions, if you place a ₹1000 each way bet on a team:
- ₹500 goes on the team to win the tournament
- ₹500 goes on the team to finish in top 2 positions
If your team wins the tournament, both parts of your bet win. If your team finishes second, you lose the \“win\“ part but win the \“place\“ part. If your team finishes third or lower, both parts of your bet lose.
This betting method is particularly popular in India for major football tournaments like the Indian Super League, FIFA World Cup, and UEFA Champions League, where it provides a safety net for bettors who want to back strong teams but want some protection if their team doesn\“t win outright. |
