How It Works
Dutching is a betting strategy where you spread your stake across multiple selections to guarantee equal profit regardless of which selection wins. This is useful when you believe one of several outcomes will occur but aren't sure which one.
How Dutching Stakes Are Calculated:
For each selection, the stake is calculated to ensure equal profit:
Stake on Selection = (Total Stake × Implied Probability of Selection) / Sum of All Implied Probabilities
Implied Probability = 1 / Decimal Odds
Profit = (Stake × Odds) - Total Stake
Example:
If you have a total stake of $100 and two selections with odds of 2.00 and 3.00:
- Implied Probability Selection 1 = 1 / 2.00 = 0.50 (50%)
- Implied Probability Selection 2 = 1 / 3.00 = 0.33 (33.33%)
- Stake on Selection 1 = ($100 × 0.50) / (0.50 + 0.33) = $60.24
- Stake on Selection 2 = ($100 × 0.33) / (0.50 + 0.33) = $39.76
- If Selection 1 wins: Profit = ($60.24 × 2.00) - $100 = $20.48
- If Selection 2 wins: Profit = ($39.76 × 3.00) - $100 = $19.28

How the Dutching Calculator Works
Dutching ensures equal profit regardless of which selection wins by distributing stakes proportionally to implied probabilities.
Formula:
Implied Probability = 1 / Decimal Odds
Stake on Selection = (Total Stake × Implied Probability) / Sum of All Implied Probabilities
Profit = (Stake × Odds) - Total Stake
Why Dutching Works:
By distributing stakes based on implied probabilities, you ensure that whichever selection wins, you receive approximately the same profit. This strategy is useful when you're confident one of several outcomes will occur but uncertain which specific one.
