If the horse finishes in the stated position, the each way portion of the bet will be awarded at a fraction of the original odds. This will also apply if the horse wins the race, however, this will be added to the outright part of the bet, which will be awarded at the stated odds. Each-way betting is available for this race, with our sportsbook paying four players at 1/4 of the odds*. Therefore, bettors can place a wager, and a return is possible if their selection finishes fourth.\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u0026nbsp;\u003c/p\u003e\u003ch3 class=\"bvs-h3\" style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003ePlace Betting\u003c/h3\u003e\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eWith a place bet, you can cover multiple places without needing to place an outright wager as well. For example, you can pick a horse to finish in the top 3 places. Keep in mind that all of these places will award at the same odds, meaning that if the chosen horse finishes in 1st place, the potential winnings will be the same as if the horse crosses the line in third.\u003c/p\u003e"},{"toc_title":"","title":"\u003ch2 class=\"bvs-h2\"\u003eMelbourne Cup Recent Winners\u003c/h2\u003e","content":"\u003cp style=\"margin-left:0px;\"\u003eThe Melbourne Cup has changed hands frequently over the past decade or so, with Makybe Diva being the most recent horse to retain their title, with consecutive wins in 2003, 2004, and 2005.
