Lay Level Staking Plan
The Lay Level Staking Plan is a straightforward approach where you place each lay bet using a fixed stake, regardless of the odds. This method mirrors the Back Level Staking Plan but is applied to lay betting.
Key Features:
Fixed Stake Amount: Each bet is placed with the same stake, which can be a set monetary value or a percentage of your initial betting bank. For example, with a £100 starting bank and a 1% stake, each bet would be £1.
Consistent Risk Exposure: The risk varies with the odds of each selection. Higher odds carry greater risk, as a losing lay bet (i.e., the selection wins) results in a larger loss. Conversely, lower odds involve less risk.
Available Settings in The Staking Machine (TSM):
TSM provides customisable settings to tailor the Lay Level Staking Plan to individual preferences:
- Start Bank: Defines the initial betting capital.
- Percent % to Bet: Specifies the percentage of the starting bank allocated per bet. For example, 1% of a £100 bank results in £1 stakes.
- Re-Calculate Every: Allows for periodic adjustment of stakes based on the current bank total after a predetermined number of bets, enabling stake increases during profitable streaks and reductions during downturns.
- Use Ratchet Mode: Ensures that stakes only increase as the cumulative total grows, preventing stake decreases during losing periods.
Frequently Asked Questions
