Staking Plan

Postby philuk » Fri Mar 05, 2010 10:16 pm

Hi There

I wonder if somebody can please help me with this staking plan.

I will try and make it as simple as possible :

Race 1 : Lay horse 3 at odds 4.0 for £1.00 ( horse came third +0.95 )
Race 2 : Lay horse 1 at odds 5.0 for £1.00 ( horse won -£4.00 )
Race 3 : Lay horse 2 at odds 3.5 for £6.00 ( lost on last race £4 + needed for last race £1.00 + neede for this race £1.00 ) ( Horse came 1st again )
Race 4 : Lay horse 5 at odds 3.0 for £18.00 ( Lost on last race £15 + needed for race 2 £1.00 + needed for race 3 £1.00 + neede for this race £1.00 ) ( Horse came 2nd + 17.10 )

Shortly said :

* I took £1.00 as an example bet to win on each race.
* If the horse came first then stake only the loss on the previous race plus the stake needed for that race and this race.
* If you get for ex. 3 losses in a row only stake the loss of the previous race plus £4.00 ( the 3 losses each at £1.00 and for this race, )

hope this is clear enough.

If you can help please let me know.

Thanx

Philip :)

Have you applied this plan over the longterm and is it more effective than level stakes or another staking plan ? If I were you I'd get something like The Staking Machine to try it out with and see what you get. In my own experience too many people believe staking plans will somehow magic a profit even though they are running with a longterm negative expectation.
Software such as The Staking Machine can be useful eyeopeners to the reality of staking plans.

Chasing losses (increasing stakes after a loss) is the most common way to lose the entire bank because it's only a question of time when the 'black day' will come.

Sports betting software from Gruss Software


The strength of Gruss Software is that it’s been designed by one of you, a frustrated sports punter, and then developed by listening to dozens of like-minded enthusiasts.

Gruss is owned and run by brothers Gary and Mark Russell. Gary discovered Betfair in 2004 and soon realised that using bespoke software to place bets was much more efficient than merely placing them through the website.

Gary built his own software and then enhanced its features after trialling it through other Betfair users and reacting to their improvement ideas, something that still happens today.

He started making a small monthly charge so he could work on it full-time and then recruited Mark to help develop the products and Gruss Software was born.

We think it’s the best of its kind and so do a lot of our customers. But you can never stand still in this game and we’ll continue to improve the software if any more great ideas emerge.
