I can't believe how many wrong answers have been posted. Only GC4 has got it right, some of the others seem to think your horse won judging by their answers.
If the bookie has paid 1/4 of the odds then you get £50 back (including £20 place part of your bet, the £20 win part lost).
This is worked out by 20 x 1.5 (1/4 of 6) = 30 then add your original 20 on.
The other possibilty is if the odds were 1/5 for the place. In this case you would get £44 back.

Ignore all the rubbish.
GC4 and Half Empty are the only two who know what they're talking about.
£20 EW @ 6/1 with 1/4 odds ( 6 or 7 runners first two or handicaps 12 runners or more first 3, handicaps 16 runners or more first 4 ) return would be £50.
£20 EW @ 6/1 with 1/5 odds ( all stakes races no matter how many runners, handicaps 8 to 11 runners ) return would be £44.
Good luck
Rob

For the place quarter of your stake times the odds plus your stake as long as enough horses ran for an each way bet to be laid so you pick up i think £25.00 but in some races they pay a fifth of the odds so you pick £22.00 .Your stake is £10 for the win and £10 for the place . As your horse did not win you loose that stake .PS iwould agree with half mt if your stake was £40 (£20 win £20 place)

the place payout would usually be from 4 to 6 dollars on a 2 dollar bet. so you should break even most of the time to making up to making 20 lbs more than what you put out.

You will get £45 back so if you put on £20 you are winning £25 ......is it worth the £20 stake...

£50 if 1/4 of the odds, £44 if a 1/5th!
Unless there were less than 5 runners, then you get nothin!!
