What lay betting staking plan would you recommend for a strike rate of 85.7% with average odds of 6.69? 1 lay  bet per day.

Confused

Try  www.thestakingmachine.com

Lots of staking plans on there and if none of them suit you can go on to devise your own version of one.

Gazza,

if you were BACKING a team at 4/7, how much would you risk?

therefore:

if you are LAYING a team at 7/4, how much would you risk?

1the numbers here demonstrate a very low margin , as a rule I'd look at levels ( staking ) , however in truth I'd be looking at improving the margins

Thanks. I'm hoping the rate strike rate will increase, the data collected is only over a month so there's a way to go before the real pattern emerges, just a set of selection criteria I'm toying with for a daily lay bet on horses. The odds vary considerably so I may have to narrow that down a bit.

I've had a play with the staking machine and run some results through and it suggests Lay 1-4 is most profitable, I would cap with with a max liability at these odds though. A run of a few losing lays will wipe the bank.

The thing I struggle with laying is finding the right balance between risk (and so healthy returns) and the capping of liability for when the inevitable losing run comes.

It's a larf a minute this laying! Happy

Remember laying is still just betting, except that you're dutching a few horses.
The principles of staking don't vary if you're betting or laying.

Lay to what you are comfortable with.

I don't think that is necessarily true.
Comfort in a bet is one of the worst feelings to have, from my personal experience.
The more comfortable I feel, the more I usually get bitten in the backside.

I don't mean comfortable as to whether your bet will
be successful or not, but that the money lost won't
be too painful.

OK I agree with that.
An important aspect of staking or capital allocation.
