How Dutching Works
You think the Golden Boot will go to one of three strikers priced at 4.00, 5.00 and 6.00. With ₦10,000 to stake, the calculator puts about ₦4,054 on the first, ₦3,243 on the second and ₦2,703 on the third. Whichever of them wins, the return is about ₦16,216, a profit of ₦6,216.
| Selection | Odds | Stake | Return if it wins |
|---|---|---|---|
| Striker 1 | 4.00 | ₦4,054 | ₦16,216 |
| Striker 2 | 5.00 | ₦3,243 | ₦16,216 |
| Striker 3 | 6.00 | ₦2,703 | ₦16,216 |
If someone else wins, you lose the whole ₦10,000. The combined implied chance (here 61.7%) tells you how likely the bookmaker thinks it is that one of your picks comes in.
Dutching vs a Surebet
A surebet covers every possible outcome, usually across different bookmakers, and wins whatever happens. Dutching covers only the outcomes you choose, so it can lose, but it pays more when you are right. If you cover every outcome and the combined chance is under 100%, you have found a surebet.
Round your stakes to whole naira before you place them. The profit will move by a few naira, which is normal.
