each-way

Win or place

Each-way describes a type of bet, common in British horse racing, that covers two outcomes: a selection to win and to place (finish in the top positions).

The stake is divided equally between the two bets, so an each-way bet costs double a straight win bet.

I put five pounds each-way on the favorite.

If the horse wins, both parts pay; if it only places, only the place portion returns.
