DIVISOR STAKING PLAN

[dingoboy]

Hi All,

I have tried heaps of differant things to turn a small loss on turn over into a profit, i think this one is a ripper.

I start with my selections, be it unitab 100 pointers or the ol winner in 6 selections, what ever, im not cashed up to "buy" ratings nor inteligent enough to do my own. I then determine the selection by fitting it into price band, ie between 2.5 and 15, using a divisor at 5, away we go.

I stop when a winner is reached, no matter the div, so if i get one at 2.5, its a small loss but i clear the current target and start a new target again, as sometimes a winner will be struck at 13 or so which more than compensates for this.

Thanks to those that have supplied the divisor determination level, ie s/r x av div x .08, mine works out at about 5, i check this often to make sure the div return "adds up to this", to each his own.

I did contact the "owners" of this plan a few months ago to see if there were a "off the shelf" programme but not as yet, so i knocked up a rough excel sheet which is sort of ok.

When it is time to bet away from the old computer,(pub) its easy to remeber the "steps", i use units of 20,25,30,35,42,then just add 25% to each bet after that, normally with a decent s/r you dont have to go this far,....but we all know what happens dont we !

I have read many "versions" of this plan, some say reduce the divisor after a win, some say in a bad run of outs increase it, every one has their own twist but i have found by "taking" the return, be it small loss or indeed profit, then one cant really get into trouble.

I have found that the best way to profit from it is to get fixed or t/f odds as there are some plesant surprises sometimes. Otherwise, it is pretty important to weed out the false favs or something that may fall over.

A classic was on saturday, i was using the unitab 100 pointers, there was a runner at 15/1, he was the top rated 100, the next runner was 96 rated but paying 1.8 for the win, it was hard but i took the 100 pointer and it beat "the fav".This is where i have found the plan to work well, as i could have easilly backed that 100 pointer for a place as it was paying 3.5, which would have compensated for a win with this plan.

If betting "up there" ill write down the selections before i go and obviously disregard the wall tab info and the hopeless form guides, i cant remember the last time i bought a paper,....oh yes i do,...when i bought a system last year,...mmmm.

Anyway, hope it helps some one, its seems to be working for me so if anyone else can get something from it good luck.

Cheers Dingo

Dont be confused Wombathq,
What Dingo is indicating is that he sets a fixed target of say $50 using a fixed divisor of 5/1 , this does not change .
Using say a bank of $1000.
One continues using this divisor ,adding losses to target until a winner pops up .
When one hits a winner regardless of its price , one starts at the $50 target again.

The idea is that future profits should obsorb any small losses due to low divs.

Dingo is indicating , is that the plan does not have to strike 5/1 shots to make it show a profit .

Test it out over some past results.

This 5/1 fixed divisor idea , can also work targeting $3 per race plus losses , using a $1000 bank.
Start again once in profit.

Like all staking plans , one must hit onto some winners at some odds, to make any paln work.

Cheers.

I just noticed that Dingo was using $100 Target in his example which was not indicated, when showing 25% increases = 5/1 divisor for target $100 , the outlays of 20,25,30,35,42 ect.
This may have been cause for some confusion.

Cheers.

correct !

thanks for sorting out my lack of explination.
