@john-folan I've been trying to get my head around this. So is it basically, mixed staking based on odds and a high SR. Then readjusting the stake every day.
This might be a daft question but how do you know the SR if each odds range is weighted differently?
It's what I'm doing with my football lays but I've adjusted my stake according to longest expected losing streak etc

@martin That's what I do and I find it the most straightforward method. In regards to the Maria system where odds below 3.5 are 1pt stake, 3.6-7.4 is 0.6pt stake and 7.5-11 is 0.4pt stake. If you used the straight win/ lose SR method wouldn't that throw off your results because the staking is different?
I might be overthinking this and getting it completely wrong, but if you set your stake based on odds, not all wins would be equal. Wouldn't it make more sense to do a SR for odds staked at 1pt, SR for odds staked at 0.6pts and another for 0.4pts?
-
@dan-mackinnon you could track it separately. What I do is one column excel ‘won?’ Another column ‘total’ then I put 1 or 0 in the win column if it wins, always out 1 in the total. I then do a sum of the total wins and divide it by the total to work out the strike rate.

This might actually be interesting to people. People bang on about Maria Staking a lot. Well after a little research I have found her original thread!!
Ive read through a little. There is nothing on how she actually chose her selections which is a real shame. She has however posted the selections along with ongoing results and her full staking plan.
I’d love to be able to back fit these but sadly I don’t think the information needed would go back that far.
I think it proves though if you can get a strike rate equivalent to hers then you would be well away.

Two potentials this evening. 3.5-9 odds range as usual
-
Two points profit and a win yesterday. No selections today.
-
Nothing matched. Here are todays
-
Just the one today.
-
Just outside the odds range yesterday and would have traded so annoying. Nothing today.
-
One point lost. One selection today. It has been really poor for numbers this year,
3.5-9 as usual
-
Three at Windsor today. 3.5-9 as per usual
-
@anthony-ariss lovely stuff. I can’t get on with any bookies anymore
-
Nice BOG from Coral today worth an extra £80 on Runnin' Wild in 15:50 ( went for extra place and it won at 51.0 ) Would have backed it more but exchange was maxed out at the time
-
Non runner ffs
-
Disappointing with a two point loss after a bright start. So close to breaking the high on these. Just the one today. 3.5-9 as per usual
-
Frustrating yesterday as would have both trobbed but were outside the odds range. Here's todays. 3.5-9 as usual
-
Two today. 3.5-9. as usual. @adam-williams This would be a good week for beta testing the horse software. I've just had a positive lateral flow and I'm waiting on the PCR which I've now had done so I'm going to be bored silly if that is positive as well.
-
Scratch(well - 0.04 but you get the point). Nothing today. Feet up and watch Spurs get trounced by City I guess!
-
Sadly a dob but no trob yesterday. A few to go at today 3.5-9 odds as usual
