Double Up?

dartguru dartguru he was banned from the forum for using foul language.
For those in the know Martingale staking is the quickest way to the poorhouse, nobody who knows what they are doing would use it so it was going to crash and burn anyway.
Best forget it, but for anyone thinking of trying a similar method just Google Martingale and I'm sure you'll have a rethink

Thanks dave58 dave58 I must have missed the language stuff as I don't get the time to come on here too often.
I know about the pitfalls of Martingale but was curious as to how high it was going to get before the inevitable bombing.

Yes we have had a few similar threads on here over the years. I remember someone once comparing it to watching a slow motion car crash : you know it's going to happen but there's a morbid fascination in waiting for it.
 
dave58 dave58 I agree about morbid - but he was going as well as I have heard of . Takes all sorts - he knew it had to fall Icarus would have been a better name for him than Lemon For entertainment- We some one else to pick up the batton and explore such ideas . Where is ARAZI91 ARAZI91 these days he prolic and had some good informative posts

markfinn markfinn - Hi Mark - thanks mate , kind words - I'm still about Mark , my daughter has been dealing with a few health issues the past week so she's had my full attention , but i'll be back posting soon.
 
Jackform Jackform and the rest - guys thanks for the support , obviously i don't want to go into too much detail on here as it is a Horseracing forum , but after hitting a total brick wall last week , she's starting to rally again and been in good spirits the last couple of days considering. Should know more by Friday if test results are back.
 
Staking plans, there's a subject for you. The perceived wisdom is that they are probably best employed when a betting approach has proved consistently successful to level stakes (or a level return). However, I have not always used that dictum myself as in the 70's I used to follow the Dawson system, which was to win 5 points and recover losses on every bet, sheer madness. The selection by the way was the Sporting Chron Speed-plus, followed down the card at the principal meeting. Failing that the second fav in each race, same system. What can I say,'When the fun stops -Stop!'

I am not suggesting any of the above but a way of taking the boredom out of level staking on short-odds selections with the possibility of achieving an acceptable return. How about the roulette paroli staking plan for even money chances:

1. Stake 1 point on each bet until a win.
2. After a win stake the return plus a further point on the next bet (that would be 3 pts for roulette)
3. If it wins stake the returns on the next (6 pts roulette)
4. If it wins the coup ends and return to 1 pt (roulette win 12 pts - 2 stake pts = 10 profit).

Jack's Jumps Paroli Plan :D.
Selection the Racing Post top tip in each race, not down the card, but across the card from day-to-day. Exclusions; nothing forecast shorter than 2/1 on, or less than 5 tips.

Doncaster (going forecast GS with some soft)
1.40 Canelo (13/8 won)
2.15 Air Navigator (4th)
2.50 (nil)
3.20 Band Of Blood (2/1 won)
3.55 Pacha Du Polder (lost)
4.30 Before Midnight (3rd)
5.00 Skidoosh (2nd)

I do recall with much excitement (prob> 45yrs ago) sending my five pound postal order to buy the Dawson System.When it arrived it bore no relationship to the advertising which prompted the purchase and fortunately i binned it without use.

Each to there own i accept but personally i find nothing boring about deploying a 1pt level stake.I have done so for many years (avg 100 bets per year) always for a year at a time and only at the end of that year dividing capital by 100 and Re starting the process.In fact i no longer seek an increase which is better still as the bank pts size now exceeds the 100pts and increases the safety level.

No matter how well i may be doing i am ever aware that i could go skint but for myself these days while it may still happen it would take a very long time. :)

To guarantee a profit you need 5 wins from 10 bets and you will win your initial stake if all bets are level stakes

Also I used to play roulette on a regular basis and I've seen 36 reds on the bounce. You see many punters who will do the opposite if they see 5 reds on the bounce they will back black.

The best thing to do if backing even money shots follow the wheel providing its just relates to 1 of the even money bets. [That was the advice from a millionaire]

ps using the formula
