Most staking plans I have used, or read about, are based on dollars in some way - target to win $X, stake a % of the $s in bank, bet in a particular series until showing a $ profit, etc.
I am thinking of trying a different approach by varying my bets according to 'strike rate'. I have my results over a few years & feel I know what the strike rate is for my selection method.
I thought that if I was currently achieving below the expected strike rate I should increase the stakes in anticipation of a run of winners which would restore the strike rate to 'normal'. Similarly, if I'm 'over achieving', I'll drop the stake back because a losing run must be just around the corner.
(Dropping the stakes because you're going too well seems a bit strange & would take a bit of getting used to.)
Has anyone used a staking plan based on strike rate, & if so, how did it go?
Any thoughts or comments???
