Most staking plans will lose you money. But some staking plans really help you to win money.
The ones that lose
Betting systems that increase the stake after a losing bet. These will lose you lots of money. Never increase your stake because you have lost a bet.
This type of system includes Martingale. There are many versions of this. All of them involve chasing your losses.
The idea is simple. You place a bet. If it loses, you increase the stake for your next bet. You keep increasing until you make a profit or run out of money.
These systems hope that you won’t hit a long losing run. But losing runs happen all the time. For example: You place 10 losing £10 bets in a row . With Martingale system you would lose £5120. Hmm.
And the ones that win
There are two types of betting systems that can really help you to win money. They are:
- Level stakes.
- Increasing stake after winner.
Let’s take a look at these two methods.
Level stakes
With level stakes, all bets are the same. So you don’t chase losses. Your bets never escalate out of control.
Increasing stake after winner
This method is popular with card players. It is also the method used in the very successful Maria system. As you increase the stake, you are betting with money that you have won. The further you go, the less risk you have of losing your own money.
You only need to “increase after winner” if you are starting with a small bank.
If you already have a large bank, just use level stakes. It is simple and very effective.
How to make money
Making money depends on the quality of your selections. No staking plan can make money from bad bets. Your bets must return level stakes profits. If your selections can’t do this you will lose money.
This doesn’t mean all your selections have to win. You just need enough good bets to cover the bad ones with a bit left over. The bit that is left over is your profit.
You need to find good selections each day to bet on. Then you bet them at level stakes. This is what professional gamblers do.
