Copied this off the net.

Dutch Wagering
Dutch wagering is a betting scheme that is used to cover several horses in a race. The idea behind the method is simple: If more horses are bet, the chances of winning are improved.

Of course, the winning payoff must cover the cost of the bets on the losing horses. With this system, the player sets an amount he hopes to win on the race – let us say, for example, $100.

Next, the player calculates how much is needed on a particular horse to generate a $100 return.

If Horse "A" is 4:1 on the board, he would return $10 for a $2 bet. To get back $100 on Horse "A" one would need to wager $20 to win, resulting in a $100 payoff (which includes an $80 profit).

If horse "B" is 2:1, it would pay $6 on a $2 wager. So, one would need to bet about $34 on that horse to get back $100 (including a $66 profit).

If horse "C" is 9:1, it would return $20 for a $2 wager. Therefore, $10 would be needed to get back $100 (with a $90 profit). Therefore, covering all three (Horse A at 4:1, Horse B at 2:1, and Horse C at 9:1) would require $64. If any one of these three won, it would return $100 and produce a $36 profit (a 36% return). Of course, if any one of the three fails to win, the entire $64 would be lost.

This system is used largely when the handicapper believes that one or more of the "long shots" has a legitimate chance to win the race.
