A staking plan is simply a way of structuring the stakes on each lay. We advice that you do maintain a staking plan because just putting on randomly sized bets is not a good idea. You will invariable lose your big bets if you are randomly picking values

Laying at level stakes

We recommend a betting bank of at least 50 times your stake. e.g. if your chosen stake is £10 then a £500 betting bank should be more than enough to cope with losing bets which inevitably occur.
The aim is to make a consistent profit over time, ending each month in profit. This is the simplest staking plan and the one we recommend for all new members. We also calculate all our profits at a £100 level stake.

Laying a percentage of your bank

Put aside a betting bank and use it for no other gambling.
Let us assume your bank is £1000. When we do advise a trade you lay the horse to lose 10% of your bank; in this case it would be £100. So if the horse is 2/1 you would lay £50 at those odds. You then continually adjust your stake to 10% of your betting bank.
This method will enable you to increase your staking in a managed and consistent form. This staking method also ensures that it is virtually impossible to lose your bank and when you do have a losing day you wont be worrying about funding the next trade. Sounds easy, wrong! We do not advise a percentage bank staking plan for laying. The simple reason being when you do get a loser you will be at your maximum stake and will take a big hit. This type of a plan can work with traditional win betting but not when laying to lose.

Loss Recovery Plans

Just as there are good staking plans there are bad ones, I think the worst I have seen is the one that tells you to double your stake every time you lose… So if your stake is £50 and you lose then your next bet will be £100 if you lose again it will be £200 and so on. I am afraid that you will have to have a lot of winners to make money using this system and it wont take many losers to clean out your bank!

Your bank is your judge of how well you are betting and it can instantly tell you if something is not quite right.
