How it works
Dutching spreads one total stake across several selections in the same event so you win the same amount whichever of them comes in. Stake each in proportion to its implied probability (1 ÷ odds) and every backed selection returns the identical amount.
It is not a guaranteed profit like an arbitrage — if none of your selections wins, the whole stake is lost. The combined book chance is the bookmaker's implied probability that one of them wins; the wider you spread, the higher that chance but the thinner the profit.
Dutching Calculator
Dutching is backing more than one selection in the same event so that you win the same amount whichever of them comes in. This free dutching calculator splits your total stake across the selections in proportion to their odds and shows the stake on each, the equal return and your profit.
How dutching works
Each price implies a probability of 1 ÷ odds. Stake each selection in proportion to that implied probability and every backed runner returns the identical amount — your total stake divided by the sum of the implied probabilities. The result is one flat profit no matter which of your picks wins.
It is the staking tool of choice when you can narrow a field to two or three live contenders but cannot separate them: instead of guessing, you back them all for the same payout.
Dutching vs arbitrage
Dutching is not risk-free. Unlike an arbitrage, which covers every outcome for a guaranteed profit, dutching covers only the selections you choose — if none of them wins, the whole stake is lost. The combined book chance shows the implied probability that one of them lands.
The more selections you add, the higher the chance one wins but the smaller the profit, because you are paying the bookmaker margin on every runner. Dutching pays when your read on the field beats those implied probabilities.
What is dutching?expand_more
Backing two or more selections in the same event, with stakes split so you make the same profit whichever one wins. It spreads a single stake across several runners.
How do you calculate dutching stakes?expand_more
Stake each selection in proportion to its implied probability: stake = total × (1 ÷ odds) ÷ sum of all (1 ÷ odds). Every selection then returns the same amount.
Is dutching the same as an arbitrage?expand_more
No. An arbitrage covers all outcomes for a guaranteed profit; dutching covers only your chosen selections, so if none wins you lose the stake. Dutching is a way to back a shortlist, not a sure thing.
