been doing this for a while now. i pick my selections usually about ten a day
all bets are never below 3/1 and martingale my stake until i hit a winner
e.g 25 at 4/1 gives me £100 profit then thats it for the day
if i pick a loser that will be added to the next bet works ok for me
from a starting bank of £2000 not foolproof i know but you can go at least 10
selections without a winner before bank is bust
any thoughts or comments welcome
todays bets
pocket too 2.00c
seriatim 2.15f
sew on target 2.30c
beckwith star 2.50f
lady bridget 3.05c
quickpick vic 3.20f
desperate dex 3.40c
noble perk 4.15 c


if i cant get at least 3/1 then it will not be a bet

on a day when you dont get a winner and you lose your 2000 bank

does that have any knock oneffect for the morrow or do you just start again and record the 2000 loss on your spreadsheet?

Did you get at least 3/1 on Pocket Too ?

Do you take comm. into account ?

Every type of martingale is flawed (as we all know)
concentrating on higher priced selections may only extend the agony.

Having said that, you may go on a long successful run first. Happy

And I genuinely hope you do !

Best of luck ! Happy

I do something similar but I don't vary my stake according to the odds and I don't stop at a winner

in fact its not similar at all

if you can't win backing everything level stakes

a martingale long term is not going to help things, it will kid you and keep you alive and then you will hit the mother of all runs that kills you.

that is mathematically certain i'm afraid.

Trouble with  3/1 or better you cannot win  why
look through the form book  every year there more  winners under 3/1  than over 3/1 hope that helps

my staking plan is 1/200 of my bank to start with
stake can never decrease, only increase
it can only increase if the bank is 210 times greater than the original 1/200 stake
once it has increased, it can never decrease from that
it can only increase if the bank is 220 times greater than then the 1/210 stake
and so on
and so on

up to 1/250th now

I agree with  String  messing about with stakes  is for fools
lump on  thats my adive  if you and the form book says it should win .. guess what the bookies agree  but it wont be 3/1

zipper -

you come across as a total imbecile .

All your advice on grow some balls - etc etc is shambolic

Slow and steady is the only way .

PRICE IS EVERYTHING .

If you continually back 3/1 shots that should be 7/2 YOU WILL LOSE in the end  QED

it's not necessarily a bad thing to adjust stakes if you are consistent

ie you set a win amount or lay liability each bet and adjust the stake with the odds, in the long run this should be as good as anything. the streams will be different yoiu will obviously not get so much volatility in returns with winners as level stakes.


but increasing stake just because you are trying to cover previous losses is not good.
