In traditional matched betting, we back at the bookmaker and lay at the exchange to cover all outcomes of an event.
Dutching follows a similar approach except that in dutching, we don’t use an exchange. Instead, we use different bookmakers to back all possible outcomes. Typically, this is done on events with two or three possible outcomes, but it can be used on any event, including horse racing.
By using the stake amounts advised by the Dutch Calculator, we can gain a similar outcome to backing and laying by taking a small qualifying loss or locking in a profit with a free bet. Also, by not using the exchange, there’s no commission to pay on winning bets.
