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

Define a Double Stakes About bet.

A Double Stakes About (DSA) is a conditional any-to-come (ATC) bet across two selections. When the first wins, double the original unit stake goes onto the second from the returns, and the same applies the other way. Total cost is 2 units.

DSA vs SSA — what's the difference?

In an SSA, a win on the first bet sends one unit stake onto the second selection. In a DSA, it sends double the unit stake. That means bigger potential returns but more risk, since more of the first bet’s winnings get committed.

Can a DSA lose money even with one winner?

Yes. If the first selection wins at low odds (below 2.00 decimal), the returns may not cover the double stake on the second selection. Should that second selection then lose, the return on that part can go negative.

When pick a DSA over an SSA?

Use a DSA when you’re highly confident in both selections and want to push returns. Doubling the conditional stake amplifies both the profit and the loss compared with an SSA.
