Staking Plans & Spreadsheets
When it comes to managing staking plans, tracking bets, and analysing performance, many bettors start with a simple spreadsheet. It’s easy to understand why—spreadsheets are familiar, flexible, and free. But once your betting strategy evolves and data becomes more complex, you’ll quickly hit the limitations of Excel or Google Sheets.
The first ever TSM was actually created in Microsoft Excel over 20 years ago. Initially, about 10 staking plans were coded onto different sheets with an input sheet . Bits of VBA was used to create a graphical user interface for the spreadsheet. Once data was added, the spreadsheet very quickly started struggling. Every new bet that was added took a few seconds for the spreadsheet to calculate all the figures. Each staking plan had multiple hidden columns with rediculous IF statements that went on for ever. It was a beast of a spreadsheet. But quite frankly, ugly and cumbersome under heavy load.
The Staking Machine To The Rescue
This is where The Staking Machine (TSM) software shines.
1. Purpose-Built for Staking
Unlike spreadsheets that require manual setup and ongoing maintenance, TSM is designed specifically for staking. It comes pre-loaded with a wide range of popular staking plans—from level stakes to more advanced strategies like Kelly Criterion, Fibonacci, and Fixed Percentage. 47 Staking Plans. Calculated in milliseconds.
No need to create complicated formulas or double-check your calculations—TSM does it all instantly and accurately.
2. Instant Analysis and Live Graphs
With spreadsheets, creating visual graphs or performance charts requires extra work and formula wrangling. TSM gives you real-time data visualisation at the click of a button. Whether you’re tracking ROI, strike rate, or bank growth over time, the insights are immediate and easy to interpret.
3. Advanced Features You Can’t Replicate Easily in a Spreadsheet
Spreadsheets are great for basic calculations—but what about advanced simulations, filtering by staking plan, or comparing multiple systems side by side?
TSM includes:
- Built-in simulation tools to test how your system might perform over thousands of trials.
- Multiple bank and staking plan support, perfect for comparing different strategies or tipsters.
- Auto-import options, saving you the time and errors that come with manual entry.
- Data filtering by date, bet type, sport, and more for fine-tuned performance analysis.
- These are features that would take days—or even weeks—to replicate in a spreadsheet, and would still likely be less reliable.
4. Error Reduction and Data Integrity
Spreadsheets are prone to human error. A mistyped formula or a misplaced cell reference can skew your entire strategy and lead to poor decision-making.
TSM minimises these risks by automating the maths behind every staking plan. The software is thoroughly tested and updated regularly, so you can focus on your betting strategy rather than debugging a spreadsheet.
5. Professionalism and Scalability
If you’re serious about betting—whether as a hobby or a source of income—your tools should reflect that professionalism. TSM not only looks more polished than a DIY spreadsheet, but it also handles large volumes of data effortlessly.
As your number of bets grows into the thousands, TSM will continue to perform efficiently, giving you reliable performance metrics and valuable insights without slowing down or crashing.
Trust No-One. Trust TSM.
Spreadsheets are fine for getting started, but they quickly become a bottleneck for anyone serious about betting performance. With The Staking Machine, you get speed, accuracy, advanced tools, and professional-grade analytics—all in one easy-to-use platform.
If you’re ready to level up your staking strategy, ditch the spreadsheets and let TSM do the heavy lifting.
