Glimpse at Strategy

Bankroll started for goal £300

I am going to use the "Martin Gail technique" which is basically you double you bet when you lose, it looks something like this:

bet £5 outcome 1 = -5 double next outcome 2 = +5 continue at base bet (£5)

bet £10 outcome 1 = -10 double next outcome 2 = +5 move back to base bet(5)

bet £20 outcome 1 = -20 double next outcome 2 = +5 move back to base bet(5)

These are based on betting at EVENS.

However I have adapted it to work within sport, changing of odds and diversifying sports.

  • In some sports like football when a decent teams hits a bad run you will get better odds, 5/4, 6/4 and this gives you the opportunity to reduce your bet. The bookmaker doesn't account for you losing 3 evens bets and winning 1 5/4 and coming out +.
  • Diversifying the bets massively reduces the potential drawdown over the longevity. 

Example: single betting 5,5,5,5 @evens 1win 3 losses = - 10 -50%

next bet 7,7,7,7 @evens 2 wins 2 losses = break even, but still down -10

next bet continue 7,7,7,7 (@evens) 0 losses 4 wins = +28 overall +18

So leveraging bet sizes and odds together makes a solid foundation for winning with very little risk.

I can't really be bothered to go into real detail for which sports and bets work best, this is mostly for me to keep check of my results.
