Dutching Calculator
Calculate dutching allocation with user assumptions, a worked example, source checks, and practical limitations.
Values used for dutching allocation
Each field should describe the same market snapshot.
Scope of this calculation
The requested output is dutching allocation. The page is intended to split a stake across three outcomes to target the same gross return. Defaults demonstrate the form rather than a typical market.
Executable prices, limits, promotion terms, commission, and timing determine whether an allocation is available.
What each entry represents
Within this calculation, use a current source for Total stake. Here it means amount divided across outcomes. Outcome A decimal odds records decimal price for outcome A.
Outcome B decimal odds is a separate input defined as decimal price for outcome B. On this page, check the timestamp and unit for Outcome C decimal odds because it supplies decimal price for outcome C.
When using the result, a source revision should stay visible rather than being blended into an unrelated adjustment.
Calculation method and assumptions
In the current scenario, the calculation uses stake share is proportional to the inverse of each outcome price.
The headline describes the economics of the entered ticket or position.
Gross return, net profit, and capital committed should stay separate.
For the saved case, printed units determine how values enter the formula.
Record the Cash-Out Fair Value assumptions separately even for the same event.
Checks the arithmetic cannot perform
Recalculate after any quote moves because an old allocation no longer locks the same return.
At this stage, cash, restricted credit, gross return, and net profit may require separate accounting.
Under the entered assumptions, use an executable price for the exact selection and stake, not an earlier screenshot or an unavailable best quote.
Following the calculation
For this market, the example is a formula check rather than a recommended wager.
For the Dutching Calculator, the values below differ from the form defaults. For the selected event, they make the method checkable and do not describe a recommended or typical wager.
Total stake is $315. Outcome A decimal odds is 3.648. Outcome B decimal odds is 4.428. Outcome C decimal odds is 5.17.
Applying the Dutching rule: stake share is proportional to the inverse of each outcome price.
- Outcome A stake: $124.53
- Outcome B stake: $102.60
For this dutching allocation example, a mismatch usually comes from units, rounding, a sign error, or a different option selection. In this model, check those items first.
At this stage, inspect units before changing the formula when results differ.
Keep stake, net profit, and total return under one convention.
Promotional credits may need different treatment from cash.
For the saved case, a market move changes the comparison while model inputs may stay fixed.
Scenario testing
- Keep stake fixed and compare the accepted price with one realistic adverse quote.
- For promotions or hedges, test the actual eligible maximum.
- Do not change multiple prices when identifying the source of a return difference.
Settlement and data limitations
- The selected outcomes must cover the intended settlement possibilities.
- For this market, review promotion terms, limits, push treatment, void rules, and whether stake is returned before comparing profit.
- Under the entered assumptions, historical fit does not guarantee the current competition follows the same process.

Within this calculation, retain baseline and cautious cases when Total stake remains uncertain.
In the current scenario, keep current availability separate from the stored estimate.
Questions before using the result
Before using the result, should total stake be rounded before entry for Dutching?
When using the result, keep source precision during calculation and round dutching allocation only for presentation.
which field should be tested first in Dutching?
Start with Total stake, or whichever source is least certain for the event.
Does Dutching Calculator retrieve current odds or participant news?
On this page, no—it uses only visible entries. Within this calculation, current prices and status need a separate source.
