What odds are worth each-way?
Each-way betting can be worth it if you bet on odds greater than 4/1 (5.0). In that case, the winnings from your place bet can cover the losses if your horse does not win. Otherwise, it is merely a form of insurance where you get part of your money back if your horse does not win.
