An each way treble calculator settles three horses as a win treble and a place treble. Put £2 each way on 2/1, 3/1 and 6/4 at a fifth the odds and the bet costs £4. All three win and you get £60 back. All three place and the place treble pays £5.82. The free CasinoCalcs calculator handles any prices and lets you change the place terms race by race.
How an each way treble works
You’re placing two trebles at once:
- A win treble: £2 rolls across all three winners.
- A place treble: £2 rolls across the three place prices.
At 1/5 odds the place prices here are 2/5, 3/5 and 3/10. In decimal that’s 1.4, 1.6 and 1.3, so the place treble returns £2 × 1.4 × 1.6 × 1.3 = £5.82. The win treble is £2 × 3 × 4 × 2.5 = £60.
Is an each way treble worth it?
With three short prices, no. The place treble above returns £5.82 for £4, so it only just covers the whole stake when every horse places. Lose one and you’ve lost both halves. Each way trebles make sense on longer prices, where the place part can return more than your full stake on its own. Three 6/1 shots at quarter odds would return £2 × 2.5 × 2.5 × 2.5 = £31.25 from the place treble alone.
If you want cover when only two of the three come in, a Trixie or a Patent each way does that, at more bets.
Non-runners and deductions
A non-runner turns the treble into an each way double on the other two. A late withdrawal brings a Rule 4 deduction off the winners. Mark either in the calculator and the returns update.
Going bigger? The each way accumulator calculator takes four or more legs.
