Why This Matters

Dutching is a betting strategy named after Al Capone’s accountant, Dutch Schultz. The idea is simple: instead of backing a single outcome, you spread your stake across multiple selections so that you profit the same amount regardless of which one wins.

This is particularly powerful in horse racing where you might fancy 2-3 runners in a large field, or in football where you want to cover both “Home Win” and “Draw” outcomes. The key is that the combined implied probability of your selections must be less than 100% for dutching to be profitable.

The Equal Profit mode calculates stakes so that your net profit is identical whichever selection wins. The Equal Stakes mode simply divides your budget equally — useful when you have no preference between selections and want to keep things simple.
