This will sound harsh, but I think the best way to learn is to lose money, so I suggest you decide on a small bank you're willing to lose for a lesson learned, and commit to the loss-chasing staking plan you mention Max. You will hit an unexpected run of outs, and you will lose the bank. It's the best way to learn to not go down the path of a loss-chasing staking plan.

If your can be talked into avoiding chasing losses, then I would suggest betting by percentage of bank. For instance, bet 2% of your betting bank on your 1st selection. If it loses, then recalculate, and bet 2% of your new bank balance on the next selection, and so on. If it wins, then bet 2% of your new bank balance on the next selection, and so on. It will save the bank during runs of outs, yet rewards you when you get successive winners.
