Lay Fixed Liability Staking Plan
The Lay Fixed Liability Staking Plan ensures a predetermined maximum loss per bet. The Stake is adjusted so that if the bet does lose, we never go above this maximum loss.
Key Features:
-
Consistent Risk Exposure: By setting a fixed liability, you define the maximum amount you’re willing to lose on any single bet, providing clarity and preventing unexpected large losses.
-
Stake Calculation: The stake for each bet is determined based on the fixed liability and the odds of the selection. For instance, if you set a maximum risk of £50 and the horse’s odds are 4/1 (5.0 in decimal), your stake would be £12.50. This calculation ensures that if the horse wins, your loss is capped at £50, and if the horse loses, you gain £12.50.
Implementation Steps:
-
Determine Fixed Liability: Decide on the maximum amount you’re willing to risk per bet (e.g., £50).
-
Identify Selection Odds: Obtain the decimal odds of the horse or selection you intend to lay.
-
Calculate Stake: Use the formula:
Stake = Fixed Liability / (Decimal Odds – 1)
Applying this to the example:
Stake = £50 / (5.0 – 1) = £50 / 4 = £12.50
Frequently Asked Questions
Answer: The Lay Fixed Liability Staking Plan lets you set a fixed maximum loss (liability) on every lay bet. The stake is automatically adjusted based on the odds so your potential loss stays exactly the same on every selection.
Answer:
- Start Bank – Your initial betting bank
- Fixed Liability Amount – The maximum amount you want to lose on any single lay bet (e.g. £50)
- Re-Calculate Every – How often the liability is updated (default = 1)
- Minimum Stake Equals Start Stake – Prevents stakes dropping below the initial amount
- Use <LB> for Last Bet of the Day – Only recalculate when this code appears
Answer:
Example: £50 Fixed Liability at 5.0 odds → Stake = 50 ÷ 4 = £12.50
Answer: Lay Level uses the same fixed stake on every bet (liability changes with odds). Lay Fixed Liability keeps your maximum possible loss the same on every bet (stake changes with odds). This gives far more consistent risk control.
Answer: Most users set the Fixed Liability between 1% and 3% of their starting bank. Conservative users prefer 1%–1.5%. Higher amounts should only be used with strong, consistent lay systems.
Answer: Yes — this is one of the safest and most popular lay staking plans. It prevents large unexpected losses when laying at bigger odds and provides excellent risk control.
Answer : It works very well for all types of lay systems. It is especially useful when your selections have a wide range of odds because your risk remains constant.
Answer: It is safer and more controlled than Lay Level (where liability varies with odds) and much less aggressive than recovery-style plans.
