Stop at a Winner (SAW) Staking Plan
The Stop at a Winner (SAW) Staking Plan is a strategic betting approach designed to achieve a predetermined profit target within a single session or day. Upon reaching this target through a winning bet, all betting activities are concluded for that period.
Key Features of the SAW Staking Plan:
-
Fixed Profit Target: Set a specific profit goal as a percentage of your starting bankroll. For instance, with a £100 starting bank and a 1% target, the aim is to secure a £1 profit per session.
-
Progressive Staking: In the event of consecutive losses, stake amounts increase to recover losses and achieve the profit target. However, this can lead to substantial stake sizes after multiple losses.
-
Stop-Loss Mechanism: To mitigate risk, implement a stop-loss limit, which determines the maximum number of consecutive losses allowed before resetting the staking sequence.
-
Commission Recovery: Adjust settings to account for commission fees, ensuring the profit target is met after deducting such costs.
While the SAW Staking Plan offers a structured method to attain daily profit objectives, it’s crucial to exercise caution due to the potential for rapidly escalating stakes following successive losses. Implementing risk management strategies, such as setting appropriate stop-loss limits, is essential to safeguard your betting bankroll.
For a comprehensive understanding and practical application of the SAW Staking Plan, consider
After you have set your starting bank, set your target by choosing a percentage of your start bank to aim for.
In the settings above the start bank is £100 and the target is 1%. So the aim per session or per day is £1. Lets see how this works after a few losses.
You can see that by bet 5 the stake has increased to £6.25. It wins and the target for the day is reached. You can see by this that SAW stakes can increase dramatically to make what is a relatively very small profit.
To combat this you can decrease your stoploss – number of losing bets before starting again. One other option is to link the initial target to the cumulative total.
Another option is to recover commission losses so that you actually make your target AFTER commission is taken into account. In the example below commission is turned on and set to 5%.
