Horse-racing rules
Why did my each-way bet only return the place portion after a dead heat?
Direct answer
The win half may have lost or been reduced, and the place half is calculated using the advertised fraction and tied-position rules.
How to use this answer
The principle is supported by the referenced rules, but a different operator or market can apply a different settlement condition. Treat the named provider as a specific example, not as a universal betting rule.
Racing bets can have different dead-heat, withdrawal, non-runner and each-way settlement conditions. Confirm the race time, final official result and the operator’s rule that applied when you placed the bet.
