Level Staking Plan

The Level Staking Plan, is also commonly referred to as flat betting. Level Staking  involves betting a fixed amount on each bet, regardless of previous outcomes or changes to the overall betting bank. Level Staking is the benchmark for all selection systems. If a selection system does not make a profit at level stakes, it does not have an egde. Long term, irrespective of whatever staking plan you choose,  you will not make a profit without an edge. 

Determining Stake Size:

Stake size can be established using a ‘points’ system. Sometimes also referred to as ‘units’. For instance, with a starting bank of £200 divided into 200 points, each point equates to £1. Consequently, wagers can be set at 1 point (£1), 2 points (£2), or more, depending on the bettor’s strategy.

Advantages of the Level Staking Plan:

• Simplicity: The plan’s straightforward nature facilitates easy implementation and tracking.
• Risk Management: By maintaining consistent stakes, bettors can effectively manage risk and prevent significant losses during unfavorable periods.
• Performance Assessment: Utilising level stakes provides a clear metric for assessing a selection system’s profitability without the influence of variable stake sizes.

Considerations:

It’s crucial to recognise that while the Level Staking Plan offers stability, its success is contingent upon the selection system’s inherent profitability. If a system fails to generate profits with level stakes, it likely lacks a competitive edge, and reliance on alternative staking methods may not rectify this deficiency.
