Dutching means backing several selections in the same event and sizing each stake so the return is identical whichever one wins. Pick how many selections you want and enter their odds.
How it works
Each stake is proportional to the inverse of its odds: the higher the price, the smaller the stake. You can start from your total stake or from the return you want, and the tool works out what you need to bet.
Worked example (made-up odds)
You cover three possible scorers priced at 3.40, 4.50 and 6.00 with 100. The stakes are 43.06, 32.54 and 24.40: if any of the three scores the return is 146.41 (a profit of 46.41). If none scores, the 100 is lost.
Good to know
- Dutching is only risk-free if you cover every possible outcome at favourable prices.
- Covering just some outcomes lowers the risk of losing without removing it.

Frequently asked questions
What is the difference between dutching and a surebet?
The stake maths is the same. A surebet covers all outcomes at prices that guarantee a profit; dutching covers a chosen set of selections and can still lose if none wins.
How many selections can I cover?
The calculator handles 2 to 6 selections.
Should I round the stakes?
Bookmakers accept two decimals: round to the nearest cent and check that the returns stay balanced.
