Meaning
Dutching splits a total stake across several outcomes to target a similar return if any covered outcome wins.
Formula
Target return = total stake ÷ Σ(1 ÷ odds). Stake per outcome = target return ÷ its odds.
Profit condition
A positive locked return requires the reciprocal odds to total below 100%.
Execution risks
Rounding, limits, commission, moving prices and settlement rules can change real returns.
