Dutching Stake Not Returned (SNR) free bets

[munk]

This is in response to a question about how to use an SNR free bet when dutching (ie in a 2/3 way match etc rather than backing/laying):

Hi
Things going well so far opened a 188bet account last night and had a go at a dutch using betcronicle. I seem to be able to get my head around dutching for qualifers but can't read anything about using it for say a £50 SNR free bet. Is it possible. Could anyone possibly point me to an explaination or a previous post on this issue. Thanks for all the great advice so far.

If you've got an SNR free bet then effectively you take 1 off the decimal odds of the selection you're betting on and dutch against it that way.

So with a simple 2way example (all just for example):

A odds: 2 (for your £100 SNR bet)
B odds: 2

Effective odds of A are 2-1 = 1, so to calculate the stake required on B you'd do:

£100*1/2 = £50

So you have:

A wins: £100 (profit from A £100 SNR bet) - £50 (loss from B bet) = £50
B wins: £0 (profit from A £100 SNR bet) + £50 (profit from B bet) = £50

As with all SNR bets, the higher the odds you bet at the better your return... try it with odds of 100 for example:

A odds: 100 (for your £100 SNR bet)
B odds: 1.01

Effective odds of A are 99, so to calculate the stake required on B you'd do:

£100*99/1.01 = £9802

So you have:

A wins: £9900 (profit from A £100 SNR bet) - £9802 (loss from B bet) = £98
B wins: £0 (profit from A £100 SNR bet) + £98 (profit from B bet) = £98
