The Sniper's Approach: Betting for a Target

Amateurs bet a random stake (like £5 or £10) and accept whatever return the odds give them. Professionals often work backwards: they decide exactly how much profit they want to make, and then calculate the stake required to get it.

This Target Profit Calculator is the tool for disciplined bankroll builders. Whether you want to extract exactly £20 from a race or you are constructing a complex arbitrage position, this tool tells you exactly what you need to put down.

Target Profit vs. Fixed Stake: Which do I need?

Honest John offers two types of Dutching calculators. Make sure you are using the right one:

  • • Use THIS Calculator (Target Profit) when: You have a specific financial goal (e.g., "I want to win £50"). You are willing to let the Total Stake vary to hit that number. This is often used in Arbitrage betting.
  • • Use the Fixed Stake Calculator when: You have a strict budget (e.g., "I only have £20 to spend"). You want to do the best you can with that £20, accepting that the profit might vary depending on the odds.

Honest John's Warning: Watch the Outlay!

The danger of "Target Profit" betting is that low odds require high stakes.

Example: If you want to make £100 profit on a 10/1 shot, you only need to stake £10. But if you want to make £100 profit on a 1/2 favorite, you need to stake £200.

Always check the "Total Stake" figure at the bottom of this calculator before you bet. Ensure that the risk (the stake) is worth the reward (the target profit).
