Lay Goff Staking Plan
Overview
A target-based lay staking plan with a specific structure for achieving profit targets through lay betting. Uses a divisor-style calculation adapted for the unique characteristics of lay betting.
How It Works
- Set a profit target for lay betting
- Calculate lay stakes using a divisor that adjusts based on results
- Winning lay (selection loses): Profit reduces target
- Losing lay (selection wins): Loss is incorporated into the target
- Target reached = cycle complete
Parameters
| Parameter | Type | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
target |
number | 100 | Profit target |
divisor |
number | 4 | Starting divisor |
Risk Assessment
- Risk Level: Medium
- Max Drawdown: Target inflation after losing lays
- Recommended Bankroll: 5× target
When to Use
- Structured, goal-oriented lay betting
- You want a target to work toward
When to Avoid
- Low lay strike rates (target grows without being reduced)
- You prefer simpler lay staking
Betfair Exchange Notes
- Factor commission into target reduction (winning lay profit = stake × (1−commission))
