How to Do Dutching?

Primarily used for football and horse racing, dutching is a betting strategy that involves the backing of multiple selections in the same event. The bettor's stake is split and placed in such a way so that whichever selection wins, an equal profit is made. If none of the selections win, all stakes are lost.

What is the Dutching method?

Dutching, also known as Dutch betting, is the name for the betting technique of backing more than one outcome in the same event as opposed to just one. The aim of backing multiple outcomes in one event, mainly in football and horse racing, is to profit from one of your chosen outcomes winning.

How do you find Dutching opportunities?

Thankfully there's an easy way to work out whether this is possible. Calculate the implied probability of the odds for each selection, and total them up. If the total is less than 100%, dutching is a viable option. If the total is 100% or more, then it's not.
