Level Staking Plan

This plan is a good starting point, to help you get used to the service and to practise placing your bets consistently. 

1. Choose your starting bankroll, for example £1,000.

2. Split this into 200 equal points, for example 1 point equals £1,000 / 200 = £10

3. Stake 2 points to win when the odds are 5.5 (9/2) or lower, for example £10 X 2 = £20

4. Stake 1 point each way, when the odds are 6.0 (5/1) or over, for example £10 each way = £20 total stake.

Once you're comfortable placing your bets this way, you can explore the following staking plans which are designed to help you increase your profits.

Compound Staking Plan

This plan involves reinvesting your profits at the end of each month, to increase your bankroll, stakes, and profits over time.

Here's an example of what monthly compounding looks like:

£1000 starting bankroll = £10 stake

£1200 bankroll after month 1 = £12 stake

£1500 bankroll after month 2 = £15 stake

£1400 bankroll after month 3 = £14 stake

£1800 bankroll after month 4 = £18 stake

This can be repeated until you're satisfied with your bankroll size, stake size, and the profits being generated.

Booster Staking Plan

This plan is designed to enhance your performance even further, by combining monthly compounding with regular contributions to your bankroll.

1. Choose your starting bankroll and stakes, for example a £1,000 bankroll and £10 stakes.

2. At the beginning of each new month, contribute an additional 20% to your bankroll for example £200.

3. Recalculate your stakes for the coming month using the formula:

(Last Month's Bankroll + Last Month's Profit/Loss + 20% Contribution) / 100

For example:

(£1,000 + £200 + £200) / 100 = £14 stakes

This simulates a realistic approach to staking that many punters use – reserving a portion of our spare income each month to bet with, rather than investing a fixed amount and never adding to it.

Win And Each Way Betting

Our preferred approach involves betting to win at odds of under 6 (5/1), and betting each way at odds of 6 (5/1) and over.

Historically, this has produced the greatest profit levels to date, in addition to a favourable strike rate and profit consistency.

To place an each way bet, split your stake in two and use the e/w option on the bookmaker's betslip. If using the betting exchange, place half your stake in the win market, and half in the place market.

Multiple Betting

To maximise your profits, you can also combine the selections into a daily multiple bet.

This strategy can be used alongside your single bets by investing an additional bankroll, or alternatively you can reinvest your profits from the singles to make this strategy risk-free.

Our preferred approach is to be conservative and stake approximately 1% of our bankroll per bet. Using this approach, you can find your total stake by dividing your bankroll by 100.

Please note, if we have more than one selection in a race, we recommend choosing the selection with the highest odds.

The Bookmaker

Placing your bets with a bookmaker offering top odds (and "best odds guaranteed", if possible) has historically produced the greatest profits levels.

The available odds are typically higher at the 10am post time than they are later in the day, and you can use a price comparison tool such as Oddschecker.com to see which firms are offering top odds, before placing your bets.

Opening accounts with a few different bookmakers, allows you to shop around and get your bets on at top odds. Many bookmakers also offer concessions such as best odds guaranteed, where you receive better odds if the start price (SP) is higher than the odds originally taken.

It also enables us to look into the future and speculate on how the service is likely to perform.

As the saying goes - history doesn't repeat itself, but it often rhymes.

Understanding Variance

Variance is something the majority of punters overlook, because the idea that we can predict exactly how much profit we will make, in advance, is both exciting and alluring.

For example, if we can make 25 points profit per month, at £20 stakes that’s £500, which gives us an income of £6,000 per year - perfect!

The problem is, profits from betting don’t arrive in a linear, predictable fashion - often far from it - and this is called variance. We should therefore expect plenty of variance in the short-term, and simply accept it as a necessary part of our journey to profit.

This may not be the most exciting prospect, but it is essential to understand in order for us to bet successfully.

Once we understand variance, it’s clear to see that the best way to approach our betting is to treat it as a long-term investment. The longer we stick with one particular betting service, the lower the variance becomes and the more likely we are to earn substantial profits.

Predicting The Future

Attempting to predict the future profitability of any betting or investment strategy is no easy task – nobody has a crystal ball!

That being said, we have developed an algorithm which takes advantage of our large set of data, alongside key statistics like the "average annual profit", to simulate potential futures and relay the most likely profit figures back to us.

This "Predictor Tool" updates each time new results are added, and you can see the most recent prediction in our results spreadsheet, below the annual profit graph:

Finally, it's important to note that the above figures do not represent a guarantee of future performance. They are simply the most accurate measure of profitability we can make, based on the overall performance to date.
