# Each-Way Betting Integration
**Each-Way markets have** IsEW key in markets extraParameters:\
`Market.ExtraParameters : { "IsEW": "normal" or "handicap" }`\
Value "normal" or "handicap" is used for Place Terms calculation which is described below.
\
**Each-Way market** is mainly targeted for Thoroughbred, Greyhounds and Harness and is a form of wagering that consists of **two separate bets placed on the same racing events selection**:
1. **Win Bet** – the selection must finish **first**.
2. **Place Bet** – the selection must finish **within the specified placing positions.**
If a bettor places **€10 Each-Way**, the wager is structured as:
* **€10 on the selection to win**
* **€10 on the selection to place**
**Total stake:** €20
### Settlement of Each-Way Bets
The outcome of an Each-Way bet depends on the final finishing position of the selection.
#### 1. Selection Wins (1st Place)
Both parts of the bet are successful:
* The **win portion** is paid at the **full advertised odds**.
* The **place portion** is paid at **reduced odds**, a fraction of the win odds (e.g., 1/4 or 1/5)
#### 2. Selection Places but Does Not Win
* The **win portion loses**.
* The **place portion wins** at the applicable **place odds fraction**.
#### 3. Selection Finishes Outside the Place Positions
* Both the **win and place portions lose**.
#### 4. Selection is Scratched
* Both the **win and place portions are refunded**.
#### 5. A Scratching Happens in the Race
* Deductions get applied that **will affect the payout for 1. and 2. point above**.
### Place Terms
The number of finishing positions that qualify as a **place** depends on the **type of event and number of participants**.
The **place odds** are calculated as a **fraction of the win odds** (for example, 1/4 or 1/5).\
\
**Calculation formula** for Each-Way place odds:\
(Win Odds - 1) / Fraction Denominator + 1 = Place Odds
| Number of Participants | Places Paid | Place Terms (Fraction Denominator) |
| ----------------------- | ----------- | ---------------------------------- |
| 1–4 Runners | Top 1 | Win Only |
| 5–7 Runners | Top 2 | 1/4th of the odds (4) |
| Non Handicap 8+ Runners | Top 3 | 1/5th of the odds (5) |
| Handicap 8-11 Runners | Top 3 | 1/5th of the odds (5) |
| Handicap 12-15 Runners | Top 3 | 1/4th of the odds (4) |
| Handicap 16+ Runners | Top 4 | 1/4th of the odds (4) |
## Scratchings and Deductions
If a **runner is scratched (withdrawn)** from the race **after a bet has been placed**, **deductions may apply**.
**Key principles:**
* **Deductions reduce potential winnings, not the original odds displayed at the time of the bet.**
* **Deductions apply separately to both the Win and Place parts of an Each-Way bet.**
* **If multiple runners are scratched, the deductions are cumulative and added together.**
These deductions are applied to **any returns** if the selection wins or places.
### Place Terms
**If the number of runners decreases after scratchings and fewer places are paid, the place portion of the bet is not automatically refunded.**
* The **stake and odds remain unchanged**
* Only the **number of paid placing positions and potential payout conditions change**
### Impact of Scratchings on Place Terms
#### 5–7 Runner Races
If a scratching reduces the field size so that **place betting no longer applies**:
* The **Place portion of the Each-Way bet is refunded**.
* The **Win portion remains valid**.
However:
* **Deductions still apply to the Win portion** due to the scratched runner.
#### 7–8 Runner Races
If the race originally qualifies for **Top 3 places** but **one runner is scratched**, reducing the field:
* The race may now only pay **Top 2 places**.
* The **Place part of the Each-Way bet remains active and is not refunded**.
* The selection must now finish **Top 2** to win the Place portion.
## Summary of Key Rules
* **Initial stake needs to be sent as doubled**
* **Each-Way bet = Win bet + Place bet**
* **Scratchings may trigger deductions**
* **Deductions reduce winnings, not the odds**
* **Deductions apply to both Win and Place parts**
* **Multiple scratchings result in cumulative deductions**
* **Place terms depend on the final number of runners**
* **Changes in field size can reduce the number of paid places**
* **Place bets are only refunded if the race no longer qualifies for place betting**
