I am looking for a dutching calculator that is capable of doing the following:
Let's say my profit target is £5
The odds on my first race are:
2.24
3.60
In the above scenario I would place bets are follows:
$8.09
£5.04
(Note: There could be times when 3 horses are dutched)
Let's say the above is a loss. Now my next bet is as follows:
Odds: 1.8 and 3.35
If I was betting to level stakes, I would obviously just plunk down £19.03 and £10.23. However, what I would like to do is make sure every race provides me a profit even if it loses. To do this, I would take the expense of my first race and then add the £5 profit from the first race and then finally add the £5 from this second race. So my total profit target would be:
£13.13+£5+£5 = 23.13
I would go on like this till I hit a winner and the cycle would start again from scratch, meaning back to level stakes of £5.
I will not be making my selections on all races at the same time but instead my selections will be placed a few minutes before the off in each race. I'm only mentioning this in case it makes a difference to how the software will handle this. I have never used Gruss before so am unfamiliar with how it works.
I would pay a reasonable fee for a spreadsheet that works (via paypal) within the software. It would be a bonus if the spreadsheet also worked manually if odds and win/loss results were keyed in.
Regards,

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.
