Default Modified Arithmetic Staking

The Modified arithmetic staking method is the preferred play for the pro groups playing trifectas.
It is also used in Negative Expectation games where there isn't a Minimum nor Maximum stake size, and when the payoff is fixed, such a Game is playing the simple three spot in Keno. Using Keno which has 80 numbers, 20 are drawn at random, playing the three spot has odds of approx 72/1 an has a payoff depending where you live of approx $42 down and lower.

But by applying the Modified arithmetic staking plan to your 3 spot bet you can have over 120 bets an still be showing a profit at any stage. I'll post a spreadsheet that shows the power of Arithmetic staking with the Modification method take note of cell C2 you can use either the modified method or the straight method, take note of the difference in outlays.

Once you win you start the betting series back to 1 unit.

If you then think how i can apply this to the exotics with ample record keeping you should be able to turn nice little profits with little to no handicapping.
