New to this forum thought I would put my in 2 cents worth.

A good staking method is to only increase/decrease bettings sizes by a small
percent according to strike rate as opposed to target betting.
Bit long winded to post it all here.
Details on my home page (non comercial)
for anyone to see.
Ideas to improve the method welcome.

HI, Im not to sure when you stop the series, i guess when your in front ???
it looks similar to Baghwans 5% method
Keep up the good work as i believe correct staking is soo important.

Cheers

Hi Calcurate,
Quite impressive figures on flat stakes & unitab.

Have you ever worked out your POT combining Diviplus & bookies, I reckon it would shock you the increase in the POT.

Anyhow good stuff and good to see you are not charging, very refreshing in this rogue ridden industry.

Good luck to you.

Cheers

Start a new series when the next bet due is
less than half the size of the first.

e.g If the first bet of the series is $20.

After a series of winning collects you would at some point see the next bet due would be less than $10. Half the first bet.

That's when to start a new series.
Works particularly well for place only
betting.

-------------------------------------------
Regarding the tips results. By betting only
on div plus or best div. an increase of around 5% for the win 1.9% for the place.
(as a comparison to the tote divs on my page)

Betting exchanges even better if patient.

Thanks for your interest

Cheers
calcurate

Non commercial site ? The prominent 'Link' at this site goes directly to a $20 per month tipping service [The writers most probably]. Considering the amount of viewers this forum attracts I would say there is a bit of premeditated advertizing going on here. First post and well what do you know a site recommendation !

Cheers.

Thank you for your comments CRASH

Normally I would ignore this kind of
posting but would like to at least correct your assumptions.

MY site is Free! and is in no way connected
to any other including my "Favorite Links"

Links can contribute to the cost of providing
FREE information that might otherwise not be available on an open site.

Can't say the same for many other postings in this forum.

Cheers
Calcurate

Yeah right. 'FREE' is the most abused word on the internet, just check out all the 'free' porn sites !
Directly or indirectly [both turn a buck] the fact and not assumption is you are advertizing a tipping sevice and just 'happened' to drop your site address leading to it into your FIRST post on a subject of YOUR choice that just happened to require your site address... yeah right, and your interest in this forum isn't purely commercial and your not a cyber 'tout'.

I might be totaly wrong here so if I am I can no doubt look forward to all your other forthcomming sincere posts on general subjects under discussion in this forum that don't need your web address [?]

Cheers.

I have posted before, but I've been told it was deleted.

Crash
I also run a free site, which offers tips of the best weighted horses at each track.
I also run a mailing list on yahell.

We the people who run free racing sites do it because we like to share our info with people for free, if we have links to other sites, some who might be a pay site it doesn't mean we are a pay site or want you to go there. What it means is we are trying to find more people to come to our sites.
One day if my site shows a big profit I will make it into a pay site. So far I show a nice profit.
I have added calcurate's site as a link to my site as well as him mine.
If you look on his home page, you'll see his tips, no sign up's, no paying, just tips, results and links.
If you ask me thats fine.
This site (I am in no way bagging it) has more links to Bookmaking sites than any other site online. R&S has a bookmaking site link.
The reason why one day I want to go to a pay site is because the work I put into doing my tips. At the moment I work part time, so it's not so bad on my time. But I have to pay for ink, paper, form, ratings, internet time and webhosting cost it all adds up.
I only use ink and paper for racing stuff.

I think that you should ease up on him for having that link, and think before you shoot.

Crash,
Have you got an answer for that one?

Kenchar,

My original criticism did not mention the word 'free' [ please check ]. 'Non-commercial' has now been changed to 'free'. Is this forum a free site ? Of course it is, but non-commercial ?. Free site is a much easier term to defend than non-commercial which neither Calcurate [ should try being accurate ] nor Imthegun try to defend. They are now both defending the term 'free site'. From whom ? The non-commercial claim is another matter [ my original point ] and has been ignored. Both writers here are buddies and both have sites desperate for exposure [ only one has a site counter and it's 29 hits in two months means desperate for exposure ].

The web is full of free 'link' sites that make money just by being link sites. Some sell a product [ besides exposure ] as well. Are the yellow pages non-commercial because they have no visible product and are free to visit ?

There are heaps of racing sites we all use that have plenty of free content, but would you call them non-commercial ?
'Free site' is so slippery a term that it can be defended against any criticism so when use of the term non-commercial [site] is attacked, just change your term to 'free site' and protect that instead as if non-commercial was never mentioned. It's so meaningless it makes me want to throw-up.

Free air conditioning, free bonus points, free entry, free extra 40%, free money back !!!
Yeah, right.

Cheers.
