Dutching calculator: one payout, whichever wins

Dutching spreads one stake across several outcomes so that each of them pays back the same amount. Enter the odds of the outcomes you want to cover and either the total stake or the payout you want: the dutching calculator gives the stake on each, the profit and the book percentage, which falls below 100% when the prices form an arbitrage.

How to use the calculator

    Enter the outcomes

    Add the odds of each outcome you want to back, from 2 to 10, and a commission if one applies.

  2. 2

    Choose the amount

  3. 3

    Place the stakes shown

    Bet the amount shown on each outcome: whichever of them wins, the payout is the same.

Worked example

You think the winner of a golf tournament is one of three players at +400 (5.00), +500 (6.00) and +800 (9.00). Dutching $100 puts $41.86 on the first, $34.88 on the second and $23.26 on the third: any of the three pays back $209.30, a $109.30 profit.

Frequently asked questions

What is dutching in betting?

Backing more than one outcome of the same event with stakes sized so every one returns the same payout. The name comes from the gangster Dutch Schultz, who is said to have bet this way.

When is dutching profitable?

When the outcomes you cover are more likely than their combined price says, or when the prices come from different sportsbooks and the book drops below 100%: then it is an arbitrage and profit is certain.

What does the book percentage mean?

The sum of the implied probabilities of the outcomes you cover. Below 100% every outcome pays more than the total staked; above 100% you are paying for the outcomes you left out.

Can I dutch across different sportsbooks?

Yes, and it is usually how the best prices are found. Enter each outcome at the book that offers the longest odds.

Is dutching the same as a surebet?

A surebet is a dutch that covers every possible outcome at a book below 100%. Dutching also works on part of a market, where it is a way to back several picks, not a guaranteed profit.
