Look I think you are wasting your time on this.

We have had a long and bitter debate about it on an other forum and finally the other side had to admit, they were wrong.

The simple fact is: " no staking plan on earth will turn loss into a gain, that is a mathematical certainty and anyone who tells you other, is misleading you."

What can happen is that some systems that show a small loss let's say after a 1000 bets, are actually winners in the longer run and would turn a profit on level stakes anyway.

Now, if a punter operating this system applies a staking plan, naturally he assumes that his return to profit was entirely due to the staking plan when in reality it was not.

I could provide maths to prove it but I'd be wasting my time.
I think it is best to leave punters to their beliefs, and when reality hits home they quietly fade away.
