The newspaper pre-post prices are really just "someones" ratings. Even using THE ABSOLUTE BEST RATINGS SERVICE IN THE COUNTRY" betting only overs, you would be borderline in producing a profit (proven time and time again) so how the hell are you going to win using the newspaper "FREE" pre-post prices?????, maybe with selective venues and or races, but with what guarantee of an on-going profit?????

Thanks guys. Can someone explain how to use the 9/4 system, I can't understand the 2,2,2,3,4,5,8,12,17,24,36. How many horses do you play?

BTW: I'm not dumb, just new to this.Thanks.

Super Fox,

The 9/4 staking plan is probably different to what you were asking for.

The principle is to back your selection when it is paying in excess of $3.25 on the tote or 9/4 with the bookies.

The 2,2,2,3,4,5,8,12,17,24,36 referred to is the number of units to bet after a loss.

Let's say you have five bets at over $3.25 with the first four bets losing and the fifth one winning paying $3.25.

Therefore you just broke even, any price over $3.25 you make a profit.

Hope this helps.

To further clarify,if you have funds,


2-2-2-3-4-5-8-12-17-24 AND 36 UNITS
or

20-20-20-30-40-50-80-120-170-240 AND 360 UNITS

Here's a thread that's been dusted up... (in my review of progressing betting)

I notice most people subscribe to a systems/ratings method (whatever method that fits your own punting profile) that produces a level stakes profit as the "preferred" or dominant approach to staking.

Does anyone here use progression betting?...successfully?

Progression betting from my limited reading and experience, IMHO requires :

• nerves of steel
• a healthy bank(s)
• good strike rate (25%+)
• good av. dividend
• bucket loads of discipline and patience....in order to pay dividends.

I get the feeling there is a "get rich quick" stigma attached to a punter who uses progression betting.... but is that unfair?

If you bet "overs" and have a healthy strike rate, then surely this approach would be very profitable to 'you'......

If you bet progression to "strike" a number (i.e No.1, dog No.5, red/black etc.) then I think you are waving good by to your bank(s)....

Just hoping to "strike" anyone who uses progression betting as a norm. Would like to hear your thoughts

Thanks in advance

With 1 particular "system "I use the" 6 point divisor plan".

Contrasting FLAT stakes 22% on TO against 58% with the 6 point plan.

Because the system is based on WT/ TIME /FIELD STRENGTH RATINGS ( that is - rated right up to TODAYS race) in this instance I would have no hesitation in recommending this particular staking plan.

That has been my experience.

I can't believe the amount of losing punters desperately trying to make new maths: 2+2 = 5 by 'special pleading' that old loss chasing fogy, progressive staking [a mathematical impossibility].
There is only one progressive staking method that works. Progressive staking after a win only if your can win at level stakes [never after a loss]. A progression after a loss will magnify your wins but will also magnify your losses and anyone contemplating progression staking has too many of those. Tilt.

Google to 'Dr. Maths' or any other of the maths sites and progressive staking is all doom and gloom. Maths, unlike stats cannot be manipulated. It's a hard task master of reality and it will shove 'special pleading' or 'strawman'
arguments right up your......if your silly enough to let it.
