Hi there, this is my first post, and hopefully one of many. Can anyone help me with the Retirement Staking Plan devised by Barry Hughes? The plan which I downloaded from the web discusses a couple of examples. I understand how to establish the divisor and target, but not quite sure how to determine the size of each bet. His first bet is 1% of his bank which works out to be $100. This loses, so his target becomes 700 but his bet becomes $115. Shouldn't the next bet be 1% of the balance which is $9900? A little confused. Also is this plan only for serious punters, can a novice use it with success?
