Dutcher: how to cover a bet across two sportsbooks

The Dutcher compares two sportsbooks on the opposite outcomes of the same game and lists the pairs with the best rating. Use it to complete a promotion or unlock a bonus bet by betting on one sportsbook and covering on the other: no prediction market, no commission. It is the right tool for beginners, for two-way markets and for every US state where laying is not available.

How it works in 3 steps

  1. 1

    Select the two sportsbooks

    Pick the sportsbook whose promotion you are completing and the ones you want to cover with. The Dutcher also handles parlays and two-way markets.

  2. 2

    Choose the pair with the highest rating

    Each row shows both prices, the game and the rating: the higher it is, the less the cover costs. The outcomes are complementary, so one side always wins.

  3. 3

    Size the bets and log everything

    The calculator splits your stake across the two sportsbooks based on the bonus or the qualifying bet. One click sends the result to the Bet Tracker.

Frequently asked questions

What is dutching?

Covering every outcome of a game across different sportsbooks, sizing each bet so the final result is the same whatever happens.

How is it different from the OddsMatcher?

The OddsMatcher covers on a prediction market; the Dutcher covers between two sportsbooks. The Dutcher needs no extra account and pays no commission.

Does it work with parlays?

Yes: DutchParlay is the dedicated parlay tool, where you build the slip and cover each leg. The Dutcher focuses on straight bets.

How much do I lose to complete a promotion?

It depends on the rating: at 97% you lose about $3 per $100 staked. The loss is paid for by the value of the bonus you unlock.

Is the Dutcher included in the subscription?

Yes, it is part of Matched Betting Premium with the OddsMatcher, DutchParlay, the calculators and the Bet Tracker. The free version shows a limited set of sportsbooks.
