When should I place an each way bet?

It's a good idea to place an each way bet when you've studied the form and you've discovered a horse which has got a good chance of finishing in the first three, but not necessarily blow the field away and win the race. It's also important to remember that you want to be betting each way when the odds on a horse are big, like 16-1 or 20-1. There's no point doing an each way bet when it's 3 -1 or 4-1, because you're barely going to get your stake back.
