1. What is Dutching?

Dutching is a betting strategy where you spread your stake across multiple selections in an event to ensure the same return regardless of which selection wins. This is particularly useful when you want to cover several outcomes.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the Dutching formula:

Where:

• \( Total\ Stake \) — The total amount you want to bet
• \( Individual\ Odds \) — The odds for each selection
• \( Sum\ of\ Odds \) — The sum of all individual odds

Explanation: The calculator distributes your total stake across multiple selections in proportion to their odds, ensuring an equal return if any of your selections win.

3. Benefits of Dutching

Details: Dutching helps manage risk by covering multiple outcomes, ensures consistent returns, and can be more profitable than single bets in certain scenarios.

4. Using the Calculator
