Thanks for the reply, Angel. I agree that it is up to the individual to decide his/her level of comfort.

Actually, I said that the bet is not reducing --- so you would have a full $10.00 on the winner. You also have to consider that, with the progression, it is not only the $140 that you risk --- you have already outlaid $260 (as against the even stakes betting outlay previously of $70). You would still be well ahead ($720 versus square on a $7.00 winner --- but they are not too common --- though a couple this week), but in reality you have $400 riding on that last bet! If the bet came in at $3.00 (more likely), you would have actually lost $20.00 on the series!! Good fun playing with figures, isn't it?!?

According to my calculations four bets today (before scratchings): Nowra Races 2 & 5, Swan Hill 6, Grafton 7. Dubious about heavy or slow tracks though.

Merriguy,thanks for your reply,but I can't agree with your figures.If the last bet in the series came in at $3,the minimum acceptable price,the result would be a return of $420,for a small profit of $20.that is the way the progression is structured,so that a winner at any stage will deliver a profit.We could debate all day progression v. level stakes,but in the end I am trying to maximise profits by having more on a winner after a run of losers.I don't know the actual figures,but I don't think this system has had 8 losses in arow since I posted it.Anyway,thanks again for your thoughts,angel

Cheers to anyone having a go,angel

Just want to thank you angel for your staking plan. Had a ball last 3 days working a couple of systems including the t/weight [no filters] one. Thanks again & please keep posting.

Hey guys(and gals)this system appears to have taken a bit of a nose dive at present,I have'nt been able to monitor it as closely as I would like to,as I have been away on and off,weather permitting,chasing the almighty dollar.From the results I have been able to check,it seems that Becarefuls data is spot on.But I will not give up just yet!I really think the progression method is the way to go.Cheers,angel

Cinna,thanks for your kind words,and your appreciation,muchos grazias!I have found it to be quite beneficial over the years.As long as you don't take odds less than 2/1,you cannot lose on a series of 8 bets,no matter when a winner is struck!Don't be so anxious to get past 1 unit mate!!Are you interested in quinella betting?I have a very good progression method for quinellas,involving a series of 16 bets.Please let me know if you would like me to post it.Cheers,angel

My confidence is up for today,so let's go!

Outlay place $180 - Return Loss $109.50 - Loss $70.50.

Total loss $61.50.

This is the 1st loss in 5 weeks if the staking method of 5 win and 15 place is used.

However if you back win only it has a 5 week winning streak

The bank is still well in front after its loss this week.

Confidence justified today!You beauty!!
