each way
In either direction
Each way is a betting term for a wager that covers two outcomes: winning outright and placing (finishing in the top positions).
The stake is split between both bets, so an each-way bet costs twice the stated amount.
If your horse wins, both parts pay; if it only places, you lose the win portion but collect on the place: I put five pounds each way on the favorite.
