Selections
What is Dutching?
Dutching is a betting strategy where you back multiple selections in the same event with stakes calculated to return equal profit regardless of which selection wins. It's named after a gambler known as "Dutchman."
When is Dutching Profitable?
Dutching is profitable when the combined implied probability of your selections is less than 100%. This can happen when:
- You find value on multiple outcomes in the same market
- You use different sportsbooks offering different lines (cross-book dutching)
- The market is inefficient or odds have moved in your favor

Dutching vs Arbitrage
Arbitrage covers ALL outcomes to guarantee profit.
Dutching covers SOME outcomes you like to get equal profit on each.
Arbitrage is risk-free but requires covering every outcome. Dutching lets you bet on just the outcomes you believe have value.
