We're back to basics for today's post.
I had a question in the other day asking if you can dutch with a bookies account as opposed to a Betfair or Betdaq account.
The answer is that you can dutch anywhere that will take a bet, because basically you are just placing win bets. But at varied stakes.
So what is dutching. Basically it just means to bet more than one selection in an event and varying the stakes such that if any of your selections win you get the same profit.
You can work out the correct stakes to get an equal return using your brain and some math, but it's way quicker to use a free tool that will work it out for you.
Oddschecker have a tool that will calculate selections for up to 12 selections.
Ideally you will take the best price on each selection which will mean placing the bets at different bookmakers.
If you have any dutching questions add them in the comments below.

My experience is that if you do much dutching at Bookies, many of them will accuse you of arbing (even if its pethetically low stakes) and either restrict or shut down your account.
Hi Ian
For sure they won’t like it if you are dutching most of the field, but with no commission or tax to pay it’s not a real hardship to spread bets across different bookies.
Valid comment.
