Lay Accumulator Staking Plan

Overview

The lay betting version of the Accumulator Staking Plan. After each winning lay, accumulate the liability by adding the base liability plus a percentage of the profit. Reset after a loss or after completing the cycle. Compounds winnings, never chases losses.

How It Works

1. Start with a base liability (e.g., £5)
2. Win lay (selection loses): Next liability = base liability × step number + % of previous profit
3. Lose lay (selection wins): Reset to base liability
4. After N steps, reset regardless

Example (5-step cycle, £5 base liability, 50% accumulation):

• Step 1: £5 liability. Win £5. → Step 2: £10 + 50% of £5 = £12.50 liability
• Step 2: £12.50 liability. Win £12.50. → Step 3: £15 + 50% of £12.50 = £21.25 liability
• Step 3: £21.25 liability. Lose (pay out). → Reset to £5

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
base_liability	number	5	Starting liability
cycle_length	number	5	Steps before forced reset
profit_pct	number	50	% of profit to accumulate

Risk Assessment

• Risk Level: Medium
• Max Drawdown: Base liability per losing lay (controlled)
• Recommended Bankroll: 30× maximum cycle liability
• Ruin Risk: Low — never chases losses

When to Use

• Your lay selections cluster in winning streaks
• You want positive progression for lay betting
• Conservative approach (loss = reset, not escalate)

When to Avoid

• Low lay strike rates
• Isolated winning lays (rarely compound)

Betfair Exchange Notes

• Uses liability as the base, not stake — safer and more predictable
• Profit is stake won (minus commission), not liability
• The lay stake is derived: Stake = Liability / (Odds − 1)
