Staking

Just a quick question, I am sure the answer has been posted before.
I have a method that picks two horses in a race and finds the winner in those races approx. 43-45% of the time.

The average dividend is not quite enough to produce a level stakes profit. Approx. 3-4% loss on turnover.

Does this mean that no staking plan around will be able to turn that into a profit, generally speaking.

I just thought I would ask before I started looking.

All suggestions greatfully accepted.

Hi,
Have you looked at combining them in running doubles or trebles.

Hi have thought of that.

Do you mean, back both horses. When you get a winner split the winnings onto the next race of two horses.

I think this has some merit, because I definitely believe the "cluster phenomenon", whereby your winners are most likely going to come in runs, as of course your losers do.

Thanks for the thought.

Hi,

What I was thinking of was running doubles, trebles

eg
Race 1 Horse A Horse B
Race 2 Horse C Horse D

So Win bet on Horse A,B,C,D and Doubles AC, AD, BC,BD and so on with the trebles.

Win bets could be a percentage of bank, whereas doubles and trebles a flat stake.

Regards, Gary
PS A search on the Eric Connelly method may offer another alternative.

Thanks for that Swooper.

I have tested some of it and the doubles would show a profit. I just to test for longer.

Thanks again.
