The RETIREMENT PLAN
The grandly named Retirement Plan is another complex staking plan but one that is held in high regard by a lot of pro-punters.
The first of the many variables used is the average odds of the winners you back. It’s probably best to record your wagers over a period of time and when you have a large enough sample size (say 20 winners) work out this average. Simply add up the odds and divide by the number of winners. For this example we’ll say it worked out at 3/1
Next is your Bank. We’ll start with £10,000 and our first bet will be 1% or £100
Now we need a Divisor which is simply double the average odds. In this example is 6
And a Target which is simply the Divisor times the Stake. 6 x 100=600
A couple of rules…
Any losses are added to the Target and after 6 losers you add one to the Divisor for every subsequent bet until you get a winner. It’s very important to keep a track of all your bets and all the variables you used as this will become important once the next winner arrives.
Just as you increase the Target by adding on the losing stakes so you decrease the Target once you back a winner by taking off the bet profit. When this happens you now have a look through you past bets to see roughly what Divisor you were using the last time your Target was at this level. This then becomes your new Divisor and as before follows the same +1 rule for each loser. One final thing, every time your bank increases by £200 you add 10 to the target.
Still with me? I’ll try and make it clearer with an example…
Your bank is £10,000 the divisor is 6 and target 600. Your first bet is therefore 100 (600/6)
It loses so the Target is now 700 (600+losing 100 stake). The Divisor is still 6 so your next stake is £115 (700/6).
Another loser means the Target is now 825. The Divisor remains at 6 giving you a stake of £135 (825/6)
That loses, as does the next (£158), the one after that (£185) and again (£215). The Target is now £1508
We’ve now gone 6 bets without a win meaning the Divisor becomes 7 and our next bet is £215 (1508/7). One more loser and the Divisor becomes 8 and the next bet £215 (1723/8)
Three more losers follow with stakes of £215, £215, £215 before we finally get a winner at 4/1.
Hooray! The profit of £860 is taken from the target which leaves us with a new figure of £1723.
We look back through our records to see the last time we were at this figure and see that the Divisor at the time was 8. You carry on again applying the same rules as before.
Another new staking system to me but one I quite like the look of. I may do my own investigation into this plan over the next couple of weeks. Obviously I’ll let you know how it gets on.
Benefits: Reclaims your losses while still trying to reach the required targets.
Downfalls: It’s probably too aggressive and will ultimately fail.
Requirements: Records of all bets placed. Spreadsheet or good old fashioned Pen & Paper.
Probable Outcome of using this plan: Another theoretically sound staking system that doesn’t work and has you starting again in your search for that perfect plan
Type of person this system suits (suited): While I test it, me!
