Oddsmart’s Extra Place Matcher is a browser-based matched betting tool that automates each-way matched betting on “extra place” offers, transforming a labour-intensive task into a swift, reliable process.
When a bookmaker pays out on an additional place (for example, places 1–4 instead of 1–3), you back the runner each-way and lay just the standard place market on an exchange such as Smarkets.
This guarantees a small profit if the horse finishes in the extended place, while capping losses otherwise.
Upon logging in, Extra Place Matcher scans every UK and Irish race for live extra-place promotions, then uses a proprietary algorithm—analysing form, track data and odds—to flag only those selections with positive expected value.
With one click you place your each-way bet at the bookmaker; a second click submits the optimal lay stake, automatically accounting for exchange commission and rounding rules.
Custom filters let you target flat, National Hunt or all-weather races, set minimum EV thresholds, choose odds ranges and include or exclude specific bookmakers.
By combining real-time aggregation, data-driven selection and instant execution, Extra Place Matcher saves you hours of spreadsheet work, reduces errors and delivers a consistent, low-risk revenue stream from each-way horse-racing bets.
