And, if you don't want to carry around dutching tables in your head whilst you are out and about, the following is a universal dutching formula:

Two horses ..................

1) Add a full point to the odds of each horse.
2) Devide the new odds into 100
3) The resultant figures are your relevant stakes on each horse to return a set amount immaterial of whichever horse wins.
4) To calculate for a set stake (in your example £50) -- add the two resultant figures from step 2 together and devide the total stake (£50) by this duopoly. Then, multiply each of the two separate figures from step 2 by this devisor.

EXAMPLE:

Two horses --

Horse A ............. 3/1
Horse B .............. 4/1

Steps
1) Horse A becomes 4/1
Horse B becomes 5/1

2) 4 (Horse A) into 100 = 25
5 (Horse B) into 100 = 20

3) So the two bets to win a specific amount irrespective of which horse wins are 25 and 20.
Hence, 25 staked at 3/1 = 75
and 20 staked at 4/1 = 80
Whichever of the two horses wins, you will win 55.


In your example, you wish to stake a total £50. So .......
4) Add 25 and 20 = 45
Devide 45 into 50 = 1.11111111
Multiply 25 and 20 by 1.1111111 = 27.77777 and 22.22222

Stakes will be ~ £27.77 and £22.22 approximately and will win you £61.10 irrespective of whichever horse wins.


Hope this helps.
