If Anyone is interested in this I might post it on here??

could i do this in a ten runner race and dutch all of them

this could be the golden goose im looking for

yes you would need to adjust the odds after you enter your stake which can be as much or as little that's the users choice, you adjust the odds by a sensible amount you expect when in running, you can work out that before the off as you need to input your expected odds before the off, so you don't miss them as you know odds go up and down in a flash, but to answer your question yes its def possible, and that makes your bet an arbitrage, where you have all options covered whatever happens you win...i use this on 5,6 and 7 horse races just as i describe here, and it hasn't let me down yet..... but don't forget all responsibilities are the users and not the actual tool..what people do with it is their own choice and they alone are responsible if they try to use it in other ways ty

I think you need to take it to version V1.2 if that 118.00 is profit

Please view it on you tube and read read read read it, it clearly says that the amount shown at the bottom is including your investment amount, SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO 118.00 is = to 18.00 profit and it also states that is before deduction of commission
Please read and watch before you tear me apart like that THANK YOU. plus it was for the interest of punters on here I posted this as it takes my time and I wanted to share, thank you for your version 1.2 suggestion but its not necessary as this tool is complete and accurate

^ If you want to CURRENTLY 'Dutch' the 12 Lowest

no problem with that, why are so many people trying to find fault on here, and prove it can be done in so many ways, I was merely making an offer of this information to those interested, and I asked for a yes or no, which no one who replied managed to work out yet.......

Racing isn't a simple as just "Yes or No", son

You may/will find that out - when you have been here longer than 3 days.

oh please!!!!!

from your second post on this thread ...

..."you adjust the odds by a sensible amount you expect when in running, you can work out that before the off as you need to input your expected odds before the off, so you don't miss them as you know odds go up and down in a flash, ..... where you have all options covered whatever happens you win.
------------------------

'you have all options covered whatever happens you win'.

Only if they ALL get matched.... and ONE of them WINS.

Otherwise - Your £100 EXPOSURE on the REST of the FIELD will Floor you.

How, then, can you have? ..... "all options covered"[/b] ... and, "whatever happens you win.
------------------------

Thats def all im gonna say on betfair community about dutching...phew!!!

onlooker, i was replying to a post not making a statement, it is possible as i explained in the reply to them, please read that

Yes YOUR profit is £47.50 ..... BUT to a TOTAL £100 Stake.

But it is NOT any greater.

My example is £29.66 Profit  - BUT to a TOTAL Stake of JUST  £70.44.

It is the SAME percentage Profit whatever way you use.

However - 'DUTCHING' is usually meant to mean to a prescribed RETURN, whichever horse wins - and not a prescribed Total STAKE - as in your example - and calculator.

i made this calculator for one major reason, online there are plenty of free dutching tools to use online, they all seem to ask how much you want to win and then tell you to lay out gods knows how much, well thats ok for the big money punter, which I am not, so i wanted something i could choose how much i wanted to stake, so i went and programmed it myself to suit my needs, i can now dutch a fiver or a tenner or whatever, keeping it in my reach and still able to dutch the options.....i did not claim it to be better or worse than your method, the odds are the same so both should show same percentage of profit no matter how much is staked overall...

your statement "However - 'DUTCHING' is usually meant to mean to a prescribed RETURN, whichever horse wins - and not a prescribed Total STAKE - as in your example - and calculator. "

is correct but i didnt want that, as i said i wanted to be in control of how much i stake so i changed the rules of that to fit my needs and its doing me proud atm, thank you for your points of view, they were and are valid, and thats how we move forward...

FFS the last drops and the last sandwich from the mini bar and I was on the verge of suing the hotel for putting  drugs in the Perrier.

I then realised that either BF_fanantic has suddenly found a golden goose from Rotterdam or Money_Tree has stayed up past bedtime.

Strange coincidence that the leopardcon has found the golden goose which put all the cloggie bookies out of business.If it is you BF_f you need more practice in the method of dutching.........as you said you dont understand it........you were correct.

A Dutch Cap may be of use in case your rhythm method fails.hth

Btw Onlooker................my moles have confirmed it is indeed BF_f.

Have a rest from all this computerised malarkey BF_f it must be giving you nightmares.hth

i thought dutching was wearing cloggs riding a bike & smoking skunk (not necessarily in that order)

I know how to do this.
Not a fan of dutching, because I don't mind losing some races and I don't mind waiting for a while before I score a winner.
Dutching is good for exotic bets at high price in my opinion.
There are some more intriguing applets I have in mind though. The creator of the dutching calc may write to me if he is interested.
In the old days when betting on singles was not accepted everywhere I used to do a lot of dutching.

Sir lance you are "another" who is confusing Dutching with Cottaging.nap

Dutching guide for idiots...................object to make a profit from more than one selection in a race.

Objective e.g £10 profit...........horse 1 & 5/2 = £4 win..........horse 2 @ 5/1 = £2 win.........horse 3 @ 10/1 = £1 win etc etc etc.The only adjustments to be made are the small fractions to cover the lost stakes on the ones failing to win to ensure the target profit.

No more no less and no exotics or otherwise required.....................anything else is not Dutching.hth

Backing 1/4 of the field at 1/3....that's genius. Hope it works out for you mate.

i like his other idea better

thelastleprechaun - apologies if my statement upset you.

I have been writing computer software for donkeys years, and if i see something that is not correct i will say so to try and help

It is quite clear to me that the caption in your 3rd frame says "No matter which of your selections are successful. you get the same profit from any of them" And your calculations shown in each box is 118.00, now as an end user i can only take that as 118.00 being the calculated profit right.

It is constructive criticism from another computer programmer's prospective that's all


You should think about using arrays and list-boxes so you don't have a limit on the selections.
Let your end user copy the market and click a button and have all the runners and prices listed in one go, like i did in my first calc many many years ago

Good Luck

Smar Tarse let me ask you to please read the following...... you are picking on something i said to another blogger who asked me in this post, (the first reply above)if they could back all runners in a 10 horse race and i merely pointed out that yes you can but you need to ADJUST the odds to achieve this, my calculator is for dutching and NOT for arbing, which is really what that blogger needs, in running with adjusted odds you could effectively back all runners and arb them, i have done it many times but not in 10 runner events, 5 or 6 i found more successful but in a fun way, Im not upset if it doesnt match one and that wins, I like experimenting, I like trying something new, and this thread was not about how to do this or that with my calculator, it was if people wanted to have the first 12 in the betting of the grand national crunched in a calculator to give equal profit if one is successful, that's all, but of course there are flamers in this community who post to upset and infuriate others who are trying to be helpful and discuss some very good topics and points of view... I should have known better than to bother trying to be helpful to anyone who might get some fun having more than one quarter of the runners in a race to enjoy,make a small profit..... hmpf! however in all of this is a positive, In the future I will keep my opinions to myself concerning similar tools and ideas..

Have you ever heard of a paragraph? This thread is...

[x] Pointless
[x] Lacking in Grammar/Literacy
[x] Bollox

147.50/100.00=1.475
100/70.44=1.4196
So if the posters figures are correct then there is a difference.About 5.5 %,ie the difference between a big house and the workhouse.

clogs and tulips
