Extra Place Matcher
Accumulator bets and each-way wagers have long been the playground of savvy punters hunting for sizeable returns and that’s why punters love our Extra Place Matcher betting tool.
Yet, the promise of big pay-outs often comes with significant risk—especially when you’re trying to manually identify “extra place” offers and calculate the precise lay stakes required to guarantee a profit.
That’s where Extra Place Matcher by Oddsmart steps in, transforming a time-consuming chore into a seamless, automated process that delivers reliable value with every bet.
What Are Extra Place Offers and Why They Matter
When you place an each-way bet on a horse, you’re placing two bets:
- Win: Your selection must finish first to pay out.
- Place: Your selection must finish within the places (top 3, 4 or 5, depending on the bookmaker) to pay out.
An extra place offer occurs when a bookmaker extends the place market—say, paying out on the top 4 instead of the usual top 3.
By backing that runner each-way and simultaneously laying the standard place market (top 3) on an exchange like Smarkets, you cover all outcomes:
- 1st–3rd: You win the back and lose the lay.
- 4th: You win both back and lay bets (the “magic” extra-place pay-out).
- 5th or lower: You lose the back and win the lay.
This approach, akin to matched betting, guarantees a small profit whenever the runner finishes exactly in the “extra” position—and a breakeven or minor loss in other scenarios, depending on odds and commissions.
Introducing Extra Place Matcher
Extra Place Matcher is Oddsmart’s dedicated software for capitalising on extra place offers in horse racing.
We have designed our Extra Place Matcher software for horse racing bettors, with some main features here:
- Scan leading bookies and the Smarkets exchange in real time for extra place promotions.
- Simulate each race’s actual probabilities using a proprietary algorithm, pinpointing horses with the greatest value.
- Calculate your ideal lay stakes (including exchange commission) to lock in profit or minimise qualifying loss.
- Alert you via desktop, email or mobile when fresh extra place opportunities arise.
- Track your each-way bets and cumulative profits in one intuitive dashboard.
By combining data-driven insight with automated execution, Extra Place Matcher empowers you to build a consistent, low-risk revenue stream.
How Extra Place Matcher Works: A 3-Step Workflow
- Identify Extra Place Offers
Upon logging in, the dashboard presents every active extra place promotion across UK and Irish races. Whether it’s a “place 1–4” offer on Cheltenham or a special “place 1–5” deal at Ascot, you see them all at a glance. - Analyse & Select Value Bets
Extra Place Matcher’s algorithm crunches historical form data, track conditions and runner statistics to estimate the true probability of each horse finishing in the extra place. Horses where the implied probability is lower than what the bookie’s odds suggest are flagged as positive EV bets. - Place Back & Lay Bets
With a single click you open the bookmaker’s site to place your each-way back bet. Returning to Extra Place Matcher, you click Place Lay, and the software calculates and submits the optimal lay stake on your linked exchange account—factoring in commission and rounding. Your projected profit (or qualifying loss) is displayed instantly.
Repeat this process for every eligible race to steadily grow your profits, race by race.
