Dutching at York Races

Yesterday I had my first ever chance to try out Dutching at the races, when I was at York for the Betfred Dante race meeting as a guest of Betfred.

I have no idea whether it is unusual or not, but six of the seven races had odds which favoured Dutching, picking the favourite and second favourite. The fifth race had a favourite and two co-second-favourites: Dutching didn't work if these three horses were selected, but then one of the co-seconds became a NR ( non runner) and the remaining two could be Dutched.

Did it work? Yes, I made a 29% return on monies staked. Of course, I told Fred of my success the following day, and, without revealing the size of my bets, suffice to say Fred wasn't bothered with his advisor's gain at his client's expense.

Don't try this at home: in the long run, Dutching is bound to fail, like any such strategy; if I try it again and lose, I probably won't blog about it…
