Dutching Calculator

Dutching is a betting strategy where you back multiple selections in the same event to guarantee a profit or reduce your overall loss, regardless of which of your selected outcomes wins.

How It Works:

• Enter your Fixed Total Stake – this is the maximum amount you want to spend across all your bets.
• Enter the Decimal Odds for each of your chosen selections.
• The calculator will determine the precise stake needed for each selection to ensure an **equal return** no matter which one wins.

Important Considerations:

For Dutching to be profitable (an “arbitrage” opportunity), the sum of the implied probabilities (1 / Odds) for your selections must be less than 1 (or 100%). If it’s greater than 1, you will make a guaranteed loss (known as “overround”). This calculator will highlight if you’re in an overround situation.

Example

You have a £10 total stake and want to dutch three selections with odds of 4.0, 5.0, and 8.0.

• The calculator will tell you exactly how much to bet on each.
• If the combined odds create an “overround” (guaranteed loss), the calculator will show this clearly.
• If profitable, you’ll see your guaranteed profit margin.
