Lay HiPro86 SP4 Staking Plan
Overview
A specialized lay recovery plan with a specific progression structure. The “SP4” designation refers to a 4-step progression designed for high-probability lay systems. Popularized in betting forums for its structured approach to lay recovery.
How It Works
Uses a 4-step progression sequence for lay stakes. After each losing lay, move to the next step. After a winning lay, reset or step back. The 4-step limit provides a natural boundary.

Risk Assessment
- Risk Level: High
- Max Drawdown: Sum of all 4 steps at worst-case odds
- Recommended Bankroll: Must cover 4-step sequence × max liability
- Ruin Risk: High — but bounded by the 4-step limit
When to Use
- High-probability lay systems (implied by the name)
- You want a recovery plan with a hard step limit
- You accept the risk of the 4-step sequence failing
When to Avoid
- Low lay strike rates — the 4-step limit provides a floor but the stakes are large
- You’re uncomfortable with the step sizes
Betfair Exchange Notes
- Calculate the liability for each step at your typical lay odds
- Step 4 at £150 stake and 5.0 odds = £600 liability — size accordingly
