My tip is to avoid staking plans - particularly those that require bets that would flood the TAB pools! If your selections don't show a profit at level stakes then a staking plan wont help - you will still lose in the long run.

If you must use one then Partypoopers suggestion of using a bookie is very sensible (although you still may have difficultly placing large bets on small meetings).

If you must use the TAB then it depends on the approx dividend of your selection (and how much you are willing to eat into it) as to how much you can bet. For longshots then 1% can affect the dividend quite a bit, for even-money favourites you can go to 2.5% and drop the price around 10c or 5% will drop it about 10c. Of course if someone else does the same thing it may drop it more.
