Hi, Thorns.

When my friend sent me his printout it wasn't too difficult to calculate his stakings plan. When I told him this he asked me not to reveal it and that he would not show the printout to anyone else. So unfortunately I cannot spill the beans on it.

But I don't think there's anything really special about the stakings plan - the more you lose the higher the jump of the next bet. However, in the early stages of a sequence the size of the bet slowly increases then later on increases expotentially. He lost quite a few banks of $1,000 but every now and then up came a huge divvy that literally won thousands of dollars.

Today I've broken more or less even. I've omitted the fave from each race which has helped. I've only bet on 12 races, and the fave won 4 of them.

I've now again accepted that this is not my preferred type of betting and doubt I will continue.
