Each Way Bet box ticked

Important Tip

If you do not tick the Win/Place (W/P) Box, the bet places win only.

More information about Win/Place betting can be found here

Fluctuation of Odds

Occasionally, the line, odds, or availability of your selection may change between the time you add it to your bet slip, and when you confirm your bet. If this happens, the change will be shown on your bet slip. You'll then have the option to either remove the selection from your bet slip, or accept the new odds and continue with your bet.

Good to know

If you’d like to automatically accept odds and line changes, you can enable the Auto Allow odds and line changes toggle within the Preferences tab. Once enabled, any future bets will be updated automatically.

Bet Responsibility

It is your responsibility to ensure that you have placed your bet correctly. This includes the amount, sport, event, and market you want to bet on. bet365 will not change, edit, or update your bet once it has been made.
