Dutching is a betting technique that has long divided opinion amongst punters.Some see it as little more than an elaborate hoax and that it offers potential for improved strike rates but at the risk that a single loser may wipe out a lot of slowly accumulated gains.However, exactly the same could be said of laying,
A common complaint from successful punters is that bookmakers close or limit their accounts.You spend all your time perfecting your betting skills, and then you’re barred for using them.

Maybe it’s just coincidence, but I seem to have received a whole pile of emails in the last few days about each-way doubles. They vary in the detail, but broadly they’re all asking whether each-way doubles offer a low-risk route to more of this stuff. So what’s an each way double anyway, and is
