Dutching calculator
Back several selections for the same return whichever wins.
Dutching means backing more than one selection in the same event so you get the same return whichever of them wins. Pick the selections you want to cover, choose whether to size them to a total stake, a target profit or a target return, and the calculator splits the stakes for you. Unlike arbitrage, dutching doesn't need a guaranteed edge — it's for covering the outcomes you fancy.

- How is dutching different from arbitrage?
- Arbitrage backs every outcome of a market to lock a guaranteed profit from a pricing gap. Dutching backs a chosen subset of selections for an equal return — it only profits if one of your selections wins, so it's a staking method, not a guaranteed edge.
- How are dutching stakes calculated?
- Each selection's stake is proportional to its implied probability so they all return the same: stake = return ÷ odds, where the return is set by your target (total stake, profit or return).
- Can I always hit a profit target?
- Only if the selections carry an edge — the implied probabilities must add up to under 100%. If they don't, no stake split guarantees a profit and the calculator says so.
