Dutching Calculator

Back multiple selections to guarantee equal profit regardless of which one wins. Perfect for horse racing and sports.

How It Works

🎯 What is Dutching?

Dutching is a betting strategy where you back multiple selections in the same event to guarantee equal profit regardless of which selection wins. It's particularly popular in horse racing and football.

Example: In a 5-horse race, you fancy 3 horses. Dutch them to ensure the same profit if any of your 3 selections wins.

💰 Stake Calculation

The calculator distributes your total stake proportionally based on the odds to ensure equal profit:

Individual Stake = (Total Stake / Sum of Inverse Odds) × (1 / Individual Odds)
Profit = (Individual Stake × Odds) - Total Stake

📊 When to Use Dutching

  • Horse Racing: Back multiple horses in the same race
  • Football: Back both teams in a match (removes draw risk)
  • Tournaments: Back multiple winners in outright markets
  • Accumulators: Dutch individual legs to reduce risk

⚠️ Important Tips

  • Choose carefully: Only dutch selections you genuinely believe can win
  • Odds matter: Lower combined odds = higher profit potential
  • Rounding: Round stakes to practical amounts (e.g., nearest $0.50)
  • Limits: Be aware of bookmaker minimum and maximum stake limits
