Have you ever wanted to be able to dutch in Bet Angel? Perhaps, you have done this manually using an online dutching calculator?
I have created a BAF file for Guardian that will do all the calcs for you and dutch in any automation.
You simply identify the selections you want to dutch in the selected market and then trigger it - it will calculate the stakes to ensure an even profit if any of your selections win
Instructions
This BAF can place bets on selections using a built-in dutching calculator.
If you want to examine the method of calculation you can use the excel spreadsheet.
This allows for 3 fixed selections – if you want to do more or less, you’ll need to amend it.
You put in the decimal odds, specify the overall stake and it will tell you what stake to wager on each selection to arrive at the specified amount (assuming one of the selections wins), no matter which selection it is.
There is also a cell that shows the combined odds to arrive at the dutched amount.
The BAF is responsible for placing bets. You will just select which selections in the market you want it to back, the total stake and there is a trigger SV that you set after which to place the bet – so you would put the conditions in a rule that say what triggers the back.
Since the BAF is responsible for placing back bets and not your own BAF, you have to be sure what you’re doing. I take no responsibility for this not working. If you use this, then please do your own checking before using it with real bets. I advise that you use practice mode first and then low stakes in real mode.
How to Use
There are some Shared Variables (SV) that you set in your own BAF that tell the Dutcher what to do.
sbdSelected (selection SV)
Set this to 1 for the selection you want to back. You can do this on as many selections you like but bear in mind the more you select, the less the overall profit will be and the bigger the differential between profit and loss.
sbdDutchProfit (market SV)
Read this to tell you what the dutched profit will be. You can check this in your automation before you trigger the bets. Perhaps your strategy might be not to place bets if the dutched amount is not greater than a particular amount.
sbdSelectedStake (selection SV)
Read this to find out the stake that will be used to back the selection when it is triggered. Each selection will have a different stake based on the back price.
sbdComindedPrice (market SV)
Read this to tell you what the combined odds are. If you place a back bet using the sbdSelectedStake, you should always arrive at the sbdDutchProfit value. If you have too many selections this will be less than 1 and if you trigger the bets then you will make a loss on every selection! Therefore it needs to be above 1.
sbdTriggerBets (market SV)
Set this when your ready to place your bets. This can be done at any time, before or after in play. Set the value to 1 to place back bets immediately.
Note: there is also an option to place SP bets using 3 or 2 (both back and SP bets). Note this is more experimental on my part. The SP bets won’t be dutched accurately because the prices are not available until inplay but they take advantage of any higher prices.
Steps
• You need to create your own BAF to tell Dutcher what to do. This will set the selections and trigger the placing of the bets
• Select the markets in Guardian
• Assign your own BAF to automation Rules 1
• Assign Dutcher by Sibur v1.3 to automation Rules 2
• Set a condition in your BAF that sets the sbdTriggerBets to 1
• Add your own rules for hedging out

you will receive a response taking you to a shared location where you can load the file.
There is also full documentation on how to use it. There's also an Excel dutching calculator to see how it works.
I have also developed other tools. Guardians Little Helper is a piece of software that runs alongside Bet Angel, it automatically adds and removes markets. Additional BAF files I have created can be found in the forum:
