How dutching works
For each selection, stake = total stake × (1/odds) / Σ(1/odds). If Σ(1/odds) < 1 the market is an arbitrage and you guarantee profit; if > 1, the bookmaker margin is on top.
Frequently asked questions
What is dutching?
Dutching is backing several selections in the same market so that whichever of them wins, the profit is the same.
How is the stake divided?
Each selection receives the total stake × (1 / its odds) / the sum of (1 / odds) over all chosen selections.
When does dutching make sense?
In markets with many runners, such as correct score or half-time/full-time, when you expect one of a few outcomes. If the implied probabilities of your selections add up to more than 100%, dutching locks in a loss.
