The Staking Machine

Dear TSM User

Apologies if you are expecting an update to the TSM Software. Today I wish to let you know about a useful bit of software I programmed at the beginning of the year. I uploaded it for the general public at the start of June so that feedback could be gained.

Introducing the Back and Lay Variable Dutch Calculator

It is designed to be a quick and easy to use dutching calculator. Not only does it cater for your normal dutching needs but also allows variable dutching. Normal dutching spreads risk evenly so that an equal profit is made whatever the outcome. Using variable dutching you can adjust the weight given to each bet.

As an example – if you wish to back 4 horses in a race. You believe 2 of the horses have a much better chance of winning than the other 2. But to cover yourself you wish to back all of them. Using the Variable Dutching Calculator you can adjust the ratios so that if either of the 2 unfavoured horse’s win you break even. If either of the 2 favoured horse’s win you make a profit. By using variable dutching you can increase profits as you reduce the size of stakes on the unfavoured selections. This applies to both back and lay betting.

The Back and Lay Dutching Calculator allows decimals and fractions to be used. The trial version allows you to dutch up to 2 selections. The full version allows you to dutch up to 10 selections.

It is not free. But it is reasonably priced at £4.99. You may find it useful. You may not. I certainly wont be offended if you dont.

The website is seperate to TSM. It is http://www.dutchcalculator.com

Last night i also got a bit nostalgic and updated our TSM blog with some screen shots from the TSM history photo album. As a user of TSM, you may find it interesting to see how TSM has developed over the years. You can read more at http://www.thestakingmachine.com/blog/?p=52
