What is a double?
A double is one bet on two selections in different events. Both must win. The return is the stake multiplied by both decimal odds: £10 on 2/1 (3.0) and 6/4 (2.5) returns £75.
An each way double is two bets: a win double, and a place double that pays when both selections win or place, each at its place odds.
Each way double calculator
Switch on Each way and the calculator settles the two halves separately: the win double at full odds and the place double at each horse's place odds. A £5 each way double costs £10. With 4/1 and 6/1 at 1/5 the odds, the place odds are 4/5 (1.8) and 6/5 (2.2), so the place double returns £5 x 1.8 x 2.2 = £19.80, and the win double £5 x 5 x 7 = £175 if both win.
The place terms can differ between the two races, so check each one on your slip. Our guide to each way betting explains how the terms are set.
Using the calculator
Pick Per bet to type the unit stake (what most betting slips ask for), or Total to type what you want to spend and let the calculator split it. An each way bet is two bets per line, so it costs double.
Mark each selection as Won, Placed (each way only), Lost or Void. A void (non-runner) is settled at odds of 1.0, so the bet carries on as a smaller bet. Open Rule 4 / dead heat on a row to apply a deduction or a dead heat to that selection.
