Thanks heaps for your thoughts so far everyone, muchly apprieciated.
I have looked at the "retirement plan" as mentioned,...thanks for the link,
What (as i said i am new to this ) is the story with the increasing of the divisor, and am i assuming correctly that with this plan you are looking for a higher odds as you enter a loosing run, i cant quite seem to get my head around it.
One thing i did, and thats why im interested in a good staking plan, was to have 1440 bets in the period of Jan to Mar this year, only with 1/2 units, i kept track of ever one "on paper bets that is, no outlay yet" what i found was that on average, i could "pick" 44% of the winners, what worried me was that three times into this exercise i went 12, then 16, then 11 hypothetical bets without a strike,.... then whiska...i might get five in a row, do you guys and girls recon that 40-45 % strike rate would be ok to use with this retirement plan ? and if someone can sort of explain in laymans terms the two points in question.
By the way, the way i get the 44% strike rate (if that is any good) was to whatch the market move until the last 15-30 seconds whilst listening to the race, therefore avoiding any plunge in the market with scratchings, slow barrier entries etc, seemed to work ok,......thoughts on this???
Thanks again.
