Star - I will check out the staking machine and retirement plan although I vaguely remember checking both those before and I think you had to pay for the staking machine and the retirement plan was a divisor type thing which I just can't get my head around.
Just to clarify - I would be looking for about a $30 loss to begin with trying to win $5 for the day. I am looking for a balance between that $30 not escalating too quickly to $150, $300 or more but, at the same time, trying to get back to square as soon as possible rather than waiting about a week to get back to square (depending on the loss and odds). |
You can download a trial version which has all the various back and lay staking systems on it. About twenty of each. Well worth a look. And it's free.
As far as the Retirement and divisor I sort of agree, but noticed how similar my bets would be compared to the fancy maths of the retirement.
I just made mine up, And then realized mine is a combination of level stakes plus a progression when the odds would not recover.
One thing the Retirement has that might have some merit is when you have a winner that does not recover all your losses then your new loss is adjusted and you take that into account for your next bet depending on the price available.
I hope that makes sense. For guys who say they get above a 50% strike rate then I have to say they are a bigger stud then me.
