I now face a bit of a problem. As you know I emailed the author asking for clarification on the staking after a loss as it appeared he doubled up and then it got tricky to work out what happened next from the results blog.

I did receive a reply but it only really raised more questions than it answered as it bore little resemblance to how results appear on the blog. Graham has now passed on a copy of the new Staking Plan that was put up for sale earlier this week and it appears that the reply I received is only relevant to that method. This causes a further problem as I can’t really run a blog test using that for a couple of reasons. Firstly, it’s not part of the basic service you purchase (it’s an optional extra at a cost) and I want the blog to reflect the basic service you receive for your initial outlay. Secondly, as it is a separate product I can’t just openly give the rules away and if I blog the results here it’ll be extremely easy to figure out the whole shebang.

I will just say that the Staking Plan is an agressive loss recovery system that will probably boost your profits considerably for a decent length of time and then a terrible run will hit and the losses will be very damaging to the bank. These types of plans can (at times) be good but where it is extra dangerous (my opinion only remember) is the odds range we’re working in here, 1.6 – 2.00. All tipsters and systems go through a bad run, it’s part of the game you have to accept, and a bad run does not automatically mean you have a bad tipster but it’s how you survive that counts.

So what I have decided to do for this trial is to keep the level stakes bank running as it is and to now (after last night’s loss) start a Recovery Bank based on how it appears on the owner’s blog results, which looks to me to be £10, £20, £30.

I hope you can understand why I’m doing things this way and in writing this entry I hope you can see that there’s no intention to manipulate results or profit/loss levels, I’m trying to be fair to both sides. It’s not an ideal solution but it’s the best I can come up with. At least we’ll be able to see if the service can provide a profit at Level Stakes and if that is the case then I’d be all for using it that way.

For anyone following this trial it is worth having a read of the comments under yesterday’s (22/1/12) blog entry to see why I’ve changed it to level stakes.

The day’s bets get partially put up on their blog after the email goes out. The exact details of the bet are obviously kept hidden but you do get to see which competition the game is in.

I’m a little confused about today’s email. We receive an email each day and when there is a bet advised the mail starts by saying “Bet A” and then gives details of the bet. Well today the email started by saying “Bet B” and gave the Arsenal v Man Utd details. I went over to his blog to check that yesterday’s loss had been registered correctly (it had) and noticed that there were 2 separate “Private Picks” listed whereas I had only been supplied with 1.

The bets have now been made public and they are both the same, Man Utd (+0).

I had already emailed the owners this morning to ask if I had missed out on a selection email and have not heard back yet, but I then scrolled back through the previous results and the last 2 times that there was been a losing bet the following day’s bet appeared twice. This strongly suggests that when Bet B is advised you are to double the stake in order to recover the previous loss. It cannot be any attempt to make profits look more impressive as it clearly states all details of the bets and they are identical.

I have been back through everything I have received since starting the trial and can find no instructions about doubling up after a loss. I had previously assumed that Bet A was quoted in emails for the benefit of days when there was more than one selection.

So I’ll report back when I hear from the owner about the double bets but will leave our rolling totals the same as I’m sure all new members to his service would have been as in the dark as I was.

I have been told by one of our readers (thanks Matt) that he has been advised by the tipster that bets should be 10% of starting bank. As usual I had emailed the owner with a question just to make sure you get a response but I had only asked about timing of the bets.

Yesterday’s bet was another PUSH and was very unlucky as the goal that foiled the bet came in injury time at the end of the game. Again, I found a bookie on oddschecker offering higher than the price advised in his email.

Inter (-1) v Genoa @ 1.69 (188Bet) = PUSH (stake returned)
