The Staking Machine

By now all users should have upgraded to Version 2 of TSM. Please read this web page http://www.thestakingmachine.com/updatesoftware.phpas a guide to upgrading to Version 2 and how to update your Version 2 installation.

You could say 3 new staking plans have been added in this release. There is now an option to select 'Reverse' Labouchere Staking Plan on the back side. There is also an option to select 'Reverse' Lay Mixed Staking Plan on the lay side. Advanced options have been added to the 'Pro' Staking Plan to allow a start bank, bet percentage and a ratchet mode.

The other main change is the introduction of some tabs that allow the selected tab to always stay 'On Top'. This means that even if you update the results screen these tabs will still be visible. The added tabs are -

Tabs located where the Quick Stats was -
* Quick Stats - As before.
* Quick Odds Converter - Check your odds on the fly using the quick odds converter.
* Quick Application Settings - Change decimal places, commission levels and horse label on the fly.
* Quick Dutch Calculator - Use the quick dutch calculator to add multiple bets to TSM as one bet on the fly.

Tabs located bottom right of main screen.
* Staking Plan Settings - As before.
* Copy/Paste Mode - As before.
* Mini Graph - When selected a graph displays of the cumulative total of the selected staking plan plotted against each bet number. As this is designed to be a guide to show peaks and troughs and general profit cycles - axis labels are not displayed.

Other Additions -
* At the bottom of the results grid is a status label that displays the current file name that is open.
* Optimum Settings Screen has been updated. The Progress Bar is now situated on the optimum settings screen which increases speed of calculations and smooths things over generally.
* XYZ Optimum Settings Enabled - However due to the millions of calculations required only sequence lengths of 2-5 are allowed. Also the maximum stake ratio allowed is 10. In a further safe guard only the first 500 bets will ever be tested. These options have had to be used in a realistic effort to actually glean useful information. Testing any more than 5 sequences simply takes too long due to the millions of loops and calculations.
* Help file updated with new tabs help.
