What I was after was a "proper" dutching calculator which would calculate, if possible, the stakes so that the same profit was achieved no matter which of your picks hit the line first.
After an afternoon trawling the net, dissecting someone elses spreadsheet (which didn't calculate it accurately..) I have found the answer on a file posted here: (bottom of page)

If you have some Excel skills you should be able to work out how its done. I have a modified, easier on the eyes one available if anyone wants it, but remember, no credits to me.
Does anyone know how I can post a file on here?

The strength of Gruss Software is that it’s been designed by one of you, a frustrated sports punter, and then developed by listening to dozens of like-minded enthusiasts.
Gruss is owned and run by brothers Gary and Mark Russell. Gary discovered Betfair in 2004 and soon realised that using bespoke software to place bets was much more efficient than merely placing them through the website.
Gary built his own software and then enhanced its features after trialling it through other Betfair users and reacting to their improvement ideas, something that still happens today.
He started making a small monthly charge so he could work on it full-time and then recruited Mark to help develop the products and Gruss Software was born.
We think it’s the best of its kind and so do a lot of our customers. But you can never stand still in this game and we’ll continue to improve the software if any more great ideas emerge.
