1 Point Back Staking Plan
Overview
A minimalist staking plan using a single unit (1 point) for every back bet. The simplest possible approach — identical to level stakes with a unit of 1.
How It Works
Bet exactly 1 point on every selection. Track profit/loss in points rather than currency. The absolute simplest staking plan possible.
