Double Stakes About Sports Calculator
Work out a DSA, a conditional any-to-come bet on two picks.
How to Use This Calculator
- Pop in your unit stake
- Add odds for both selections
- Tap won, lost, or void for each selection
- See the return on each part plus your total profit
Formula
DSA Part 1 (A→B): Stake on A. If A wins, 2× unit stake goes on B from the returns.
- A loses: return = 0
- A wins, B loses: return = (A_odds - 2) × stake
- A wins, B wins: return = (A_odds - 2) × stake + B_odds × 2 × stake
DSA Part 2 (B→A): Same logic reversed.
Total cost: 2 × unit stake
Frequently Asked Questions
What's a Double Stakes About bet?
A Double Stakes About (DSA) is a conditional any-to-come (ATC) bet across two selections. If the first one wins, double your original unit stake goes onto the second selection from the returns — and the same the other way round. It costs 2 units in total.
How's a DSA different from an SSA?
With an SSA, a win on the first bet puts one unit stake onto the second selection. With a DSA, double the unit stake goes on instead. That means bigger potential returns but more risk too, since more of the first bet’s winnings gets staked.
Can I lose money on a DSA even with one winner?
Yes. If the first selection wins at low odds (under 2.00 decimal), the returns might not fully cover the double stake on the second selection. If that second pick then loses, the return on that part can end up negative.
When should I pick a DSA over an SSA?
Go with a DSA when you’re really confident in both selections and want to push returns higher. The double stake on the conditional bet ramps up both the upside and the downside compared with an SSA.
