Two-outcome de-riskingand Dutching options

Each option puts most of the £10.00 on the first outcome and only enough on the second outcome to cover the full stake:

Home + Draw · Combined pre-match model chance 52.7%

  • Primary: £7.29 on Home at 2.80 with Casumo — returns £20.41
  • Cover: £2.71 on Draw at 3.70 with Betfair Sportsbook — returns £10.03

The primary outcome makes £10.41 profit. The cover outcome recovers the £10.00 total stake, plus £0.03. If Away wins (pre-match model chance 47.3%), the full £10.00 is lost.

Dutching is available. A different split can make a profit if either selected outcome wins. With the £10.00 example stake, the winning selection would return £15.94 whichever of these two outcomes occurs.

Draw + Home · Combined pre-match model chance 52.7%

  • Primary: £6.42 on Draw at 3.70 with Betfair Sportsbook — returns £23.75
