Lay Multi-Link Doubles Plan
Overview
The lay betting adaptation of the Multi-Link Doubles plan. Uses the same cycle-based decreasing-percentage structure, but for lay bets with liability-based sizing. Winning lay profits are partially redistributed across remaining bets in the cycle.
How It Works
- Cycle of N bets with decreasing liability percentages
- Bet 1: 5% of starting bank as liability
- Bet 2: 4% of starting bank + fraction of Bet 1’s profit
- Continue decreasing to Bet N: 1% + accumulated winnings
- Cycle restarts with new bank
