This isn't a handicapping technique, but a betting system that is applied to address numerous horses in a race.
The thought behind the system is that the more horses you bet, the better probability you've of making profits. Naturally, the return on your victorious horse has to cover the price of the bets on the missing horses. In this system, the bettor set an amount that he hopes to win on the race, lets say $100 for our case.
This isn't a handicapping technique, but a betting system that is applied to address numerous horses in a race.
He then calculates how much he needs to bet on a specific horse to gain a $100 return. If Horse "A" is 4:1 in the betting form, he would return $10 for a $2 bet. So to get even $100 on Horse "A" you would bet $20 to win, leading to $100 payout ($80 profit + your $20 bet). If horse "B" was 2:1, it would pay $6 to win, so you'd need to bet approximately $34 on it to get even .
If horse "C" is 9:1, it would return $20 for a $2 bet, therefore you'd bet $10 to get even. covering all 3 horses (Horse A at 4:1, Horse B at 2:1, and Horse C at 9:1) would cost $64.
whoever of them won you'd return $100 and bring in a $36 earnings. Naturally, if none of them won you'd lost $100 . This system is primarily employed when a handicapper does not like the betting favorites in a race and senses that the "longshots" have better chance to win the race.
Using a Dutch system he can cover more of the longer priced horses and would be able to make profit no matter of the result.
