Dutching is a clever betting technique named after Al Capone's accountant, Dutch Schultz. The strategy involves backing multiple outcomes in a single event, adjusting the stake on each so that the potential profit is the same regardless of which of your selections wins. It's a way of managing risk and locking in a return when you've identified several strong contenders.
This method is particularly popular in horse racing, where you might fancy two or three horses in a large field. Instead of placing a simple win bet on one, you can use the Calculator Site dutching tool to spread your total stake across your chosen runners, ensuring you get paid out if any of them cross the line first.
The Key to Guaranteed Profit
A crucial concept in dutching is the implied probability of the odds. For dutching to be profitable, the sum of the implied probabilities of all your selections must be less than 100%. This is called an arbitrage opportunity or a "Dutch Book". If the total is over 100%, the bookmaker has the edge, and you will make a small, guaranteed loss. Our calculator highlights this for you.
It's important not to confuse dutching with accumulator bets. An accumulator requires all selections to win, offering high rewards for high risk. Dutching is the opposite; it's a risk-management strategy for a single event. It's more akin to laying a bet on an exchange, but instead of betting against an outcome, you are positively backing all the outcomes you think are possible winners.
