Sometimes the odds offered for a sports event make it possible to place bets on all possible outcomes and still remain in profit no matter what happens. This strategy is called dutching, or equal profit betting.
To correctly distribute your money across all outcomes and know exactly how much you will earn, you need a dutching calculator.
What is dutching?
Dutching is a method where you place bets on multiple outcomes of the same event (or even different events) in such a way that the net profit is the same regardless of the final result.
This can involve 2, 3, or more outcomes — the key is calculating the stake amounts correctly.
How does the calculator work?
You enter the odds for each outcome. For example: Team A win — 3.00, Team B win — 4.50, Draw — 6.00. You specify the total stake. For instance, you want to bet a total of $100.
The calculator will calculate:
- how much to stake on each outcome
- what the equal payout will be for any result
- the size of the potential profit
Example:
- Odds: A — 3.00, B — 4.50, Draw — 6.00
- Total bankroll: $100
The calculator will calculate, for example:
- $46.15 — on A
- $30.77 — on B
- $23.08 — on the draw
In any case, the return will be approximately the same — for example, $138.46. This means you make a risk-free profit if the odds allow it.
Why use a dutching calculator?
- to avoid manual calculations — they are inconvenient and prone to errors
- to make sure the strategy actually works
- to allocate stakes precisely, without overpaying or imbalance
