How to use it
- Enter the total stakeThe amount you want to spend across all your picks.
- Enter the odds of each pickUp to six. Leave a box at 0 to skip it.
- Read the stakesEach stake is sized so that any winner returns the same amount.
The formula
Book = sum of 1 ÷ odds of every pick. Stake on a pick = total stake × (1 ÷ its odds) ÷ book. Return if any pick wins = total stake ÷ book. The combined implied chance is the book itself.
Worked example
| Pick | Odds | Stake | Return |
|---|---|---|---|
| Correct score 1-0 | 4.00 | ₦4,054.05 | ₦16,216.22 |
| Correct score 2-0 | 5.00 | ₦3,243.24 | ₦16,216.22 |
| Correct score 2-1 | 6.00 | ₦2,702.70 | ₦16,216.22 |
You stake ₦10,000 and get ₦16,216.22 back if any of the three scores lands, a profit of ₦6,216.22. The combined implied chance is about 61.7%.
If the book of your picks goes over 100%, the return is less than the stake: you would lose money even when one of them wins. Drop the shortest price.
Dutching FAQ
When is dutching useful?
When you have narrowed a race or a correct score market down to a few outcomes and want one clean result.
Can I dutch across bookmakers?
Yes. Use the best price for each pick, wherever it is.
How is it different from an arbitrage?
Dutching covers only your chosen outcomes, so it can lose. An arbitrage covers all of them.
Does dutching change my chance of winning?
It raises the chance that you collect something, but the return per win is smaller. The value still depends on the prices.
