Greyhound dutching calculator
Specialized dutching for 6-runner greyhound races
Dutch the field in 6-runner greyhound races — back several traps so you collect from any of them.
Why dutch greyhound races?
Greyhound races have exactly 6 dogs (numbered 1-6 by trap). If you can confidently eliminate 1-2 outsiders, dutching the remaining 4-5 gives high hit rate with manageable returns. Specialized version of our standard Dutching calculator for fixed 6-runner fields. Pair with Margin calculator to check race overround quality.
