A good example of this was the Balaklava Cup yesterday. I really liked Radiant Star and Civil. It was a very open betting race, so in the past I probably would have put $10 Each Way on both of them, but this time I instead put $10 for the win on both of them and also took any2 bets with both of them from the field. (cost $14 for each of them) Kehlstein popping into 3rd meant that I got a much better result than if I had simply bet each way. In fact, using the field any2 bet effectively meant that I got more for the place than I got for the win!!! 
Here's a comparison between the place div and the any2 div using unitab:
Using Place div (out $10, in $27)
Using Any2 div (out $14, in $124.80)
