The trick with the recovery staking method is trying to get set when the stakes required hit a ludicrous amount.

Below is a list of expected runs of outs as listed by the legendary Bhagwan.

Strike Rate (%) = Maximum Losing Run
5 = 135 // 10 = 66 // 15 = 43 // 20 = 31 // 25 = 24 // 30 = 19 // 35 = 16 // 40 =14 // 45 = 12 // 50 =10 // 55 = 9 // 60 = 8 // 65 = 7 70 = 6 // 75 = 5 // 80 = 4 // 85 = 4 // 90 = 3 // 95 = 2


So you can see a 5% strike rate, has a chance of a MASSIVE 135 run of losing bets, enough to put most punters off their weetbix for a long while.

Looking at the above figures, assuming a 40% SR and a chance of 14 outs in a row, could we set our target run to a max run of 8? That way we'd only ever get on bad run in a row, limiting the carnage?

How would we calculate the average worst losing runs and possibly aim for our run of bets to go one bet more to cover our losses?

Strike Rate (%) = Maximum Losing Run
5 = 135 // 10 = 66 // 15 = 43 // 20 = 31 // 25 = 24 // 30 = 19 // 35 = 16 // 40 =14 // 45 = 12 // 50 =10 // 55 = 9 // 60 = 8 // 65 = 7 70 = 6 // 75 = 5 // 80 = 4 // 85 = 4 // 90 = 3 // 95 = 2

Looking again at the figures above, using a 40% SR (0.4), means that we have a 60% (0.6) chance of hitting a loser.

If look at a run of 6 outs in a row: 0.6x0.6x0.6x0.60x0.6x0.6 = 0.047 or 4.7% chance of hitting 6 losers in a row. Meaning you'd win the target sequence 95.3% of the time. The issue is the massive losses that you would incur on those 4.7 times out of 100 that the shizzle hits the manizzle.

If it's a winning system then you should magnify POT somewhat, however I still need to be convinced that it will turn a losing sequence into a winner.

----------------------------------------------

WHAT I WOULD BE REALLY INTERESTED IN, is hearing if anyone is using a target betting sequence putting on all bets at once, as I believe you once did partypooper using 5 as a divisor? (only working from memory)
