Understanding Dutching

Dutching is a popular betting technique used to spread risk across multiple selections while maintaining equal profit potential.

How It Works

The calculator determines the optimal stake for each selection by dividing your total stake proportionally based on the odds. The formula ensures that if any selection wins, you receive the same return. The stake for each selection is calculated as: (Total Stake ÷ Sum of Reciprocals) × (1 ÷ Individual Odds).

Benefits of Dutching

  • Reduces risk by backing multiple outcomes
  • Guarantees equal profit if any selection wins
  • Useful for markets with uncertain favorites

Practical Applications

  • Horse racing when multiple horses have similar chances
  • Football correct score markets with several likely outcomes
  • Tennis matches when backing multiple set scores
