Variable staking vs flat.

LukeyBoy

Yearling
Do many people use Variable staking as opposed to flat to assess how it's doing?
I've been going over past results as using Variable staking as opposed to flat the results have been encouraging.
When I said variable I mean adjusting the stake depending on odds to win a fixed amount.
The formula is use is.
Selections Win % (as in 1/ Betfair odds )=A
1-A=B
(A/B)+1=C
(Selection Win% X fixed stake to win) X C

So 0.45 for eg
1-0.45=0.65

Presumably you are you using the BF Starting Price to work out your stakes on past races which is all fine and dandy but how would you use this going forward when the BFSP us not known ubtil after the race has started?

If you make a Consistent profit at level stakes - then variable staking ia probably the correct way to go - but all testing should - IMO - be at sp - if your work is not profitable at sp , but looks to be so at variable stakes there is something wrong possibly a large chunk of luck which cannot be relied onto to continue.
