Lay XYZ Staking Plan

Overview

The lay betting adaptation of the XYZ staking plan. Fully customizable along three axes (X, Y, Z) for lay betting, allowing you to define custom stake progression rules, reset conditions, and base sizing.

How It Works

Same configurable framework as XYZ but optimized for lay betting:

• X: Base lay stake or liability
• Y: Progression rule after winning/losing lays
• Z: Reset conditions

Parameters

Parameter	Type	Default	Description
X	number/string	—	Base size (stake or liability)
Y_rule	string	—	Progression direction and amount
Z_condition	string	—	Reset trigger

Risk Assessment

• Risk Level: Variable (depends on configuration)
• Max Drawdown: Configurable

When to Use

• Custom lay staking strategies
• Experimentation with lay-specific progression rules

When to Avoid

• You’re not experienced with lay betting progression
• You haven’t thoroughly tested your configuration

Betfair Exchange Notes

• Critical: Configure Y rules around liability, not stake, unless you fully understand the implications
