Dutching splits your total stake across multiple selections so that you receive the same return regardless of which selection wins. Each selection gets a stake proportional to its implied probability.
Formula: Stake per selection = Total Stake × (1 / Odds) ÷ Sum(1 / All Odds). For example, with a €100 stake on selections at 2.00 and 3.00: Selection 1 gets €60, Selection 2 gets €40 — both return €120.
Dutching is profitable when the combined implied probabilities of your selections total less than 100%. This is common when using odds from different bookmakers.

Dutching is profitable when the combined implied probability of your selections is below 100%. This happens most often when you take the best odds for each outcome from different bookmakers.
For example, if Bookmaker A offers 3.50 on Team X (implied 28.6%) and Bookmaker B offers 4.00 on Draw (implied 25.0%), the combined implied probability is 53.6%. Since this is well below 100%, dutching both selections guarantees a profit. This is closely related to arbitrage betting.
