Unlike some of our competitors we provide the definitive staking system, because you're putting your trust in us as experts to make you a profit.
This is essential to making a profit, because we know the early prices, and the stake is in relation to both the price and likelihood of the horse winning taken together with our prior recent selection performances.
This is a complex formula, but you're leaving this to us and we specify the stake. Sure we take into our staking strategy the concept of a bank, only betting a percentage of our bank on each bet.
When we win, our bank increases and we increase the value of the stake "but not the percentage". When we lose, our bank decreases and we decrease the value of our recommended bet "but not the percentage". The benefit of this concept is that if we stake 10% of a bank we have to lose around 30 times in a row (for all practical purposes - with a minimum stake of 1% of the bank) for the bank to get broken. We don't have losing runs like that! But remember the stake is also essentially linked to the horse's odds - (you don't stake the same on 20/1 shots as 2/1 shots!). And, by the way, we NEVER (intentionally) back odds on, not even on club horses!
Finally, we do back each way from time to time. If a horse that is really fancied is 10/1 or 25/1, we believe this strategy pays, where we may, for example, risk 1.25% of the bank EW (viz. 2.5% in total.)
