Lay Mixed Staking Plan
The Lay Mixed Staking Plan is a strategic approach that integrates both Fixed Liability and Level Staking methods, allowing bettors to adjust their staking based on the odds of each selection.
Key Features:
-
Combined Staking Strategies: This plan employs a cutoff point to determine which staking method to use. For example, with a cutoff at odds of 8/1 (9.0 in decimal):
-
Fixed Liability Staking: For selections with odds below the cutoff, stakes are calculated to ensure a consistent potential loss, regardless of the odds.
-
Level Staking: For selections with odds above the cutoff, a fixed stake amount is used for each bet, maintaining consistent stake sizes.
-
Implementation Steps:
-
Set the Cutoff Point: Determine the odds threshold (e.g., 8/1 or 9.0) that will dictate which staking method to apply.
-
Apply Staking Methods:
-
For Odds Below Cutoff: Calculate stakes using the Fixed Liability method to ensure a predetermined maximum loss.
-
For Odds Above Cutoff: Use a consistent stake amount as per the Level Staking approach.
-
Considerations:
-
Cutoff Point Selection: Choosing an appropriate cutoff is crucial, as it influences the balance between the two staking methods and overall risk exposure.
Incorporating the Lay Mixed Staking Plan into your betting strategy offers a nuanced approach to stake management, combining the benefits of Fixed Liability and Level Staking.
There is an option in TSM to reverse (Use Reverse Mixed Checkbox) what type of bet we do on either side of the cutoff.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answer: The Lay Mixed Staking Plan combines two different staking methods using a cutoff point based on odds. It applies Fixed Liability staking for selections below the cutoff odds and Level staking for selections above the cutoff odds.
Answer:
- Start Bank – Your initial betting bank
- Fixed Liability Amount – Maximum loss for bets below the cutoff
- Level Stake Amount – Fixed stake for bets above the cutoff
- Cutoff Odds – The odds threshold that switches between the two methods (e.g. 9.0 decimal / 8/1)
- Use Reverse Mixed – Swap which method is used below/above the cutoff
Answer: Example with cutoff at 9.0 decimal (8/1):
- Odds below 9.0 → Fixed Liability staking (consistent maximum loss)
- Odds above 9.0 → Level staking (fixed stake amount)
You can reverse this behaviour with the Reverse Mixed option.
Answer: Lay Mixed gives you the best of both worlds — consistent risk control on shorter odds (via Fixed Liability) and consistent stake sizing on bigger odds (via Level staking). It is more flexible than using a single method across all odds.
Answer: Yes, it works very well for most lay systems, especially those where selections have a wide range of odds. It helps balance risk across short-priced and long-priced lays.
Answer: It is more sophisticated than pure Lay Level or Lay Fixed Liability because it adapts to different odds ranges. It is safer and more controlled than aggressive recovery plans.
