A staking plan built on our predictions
What separates winning from losing is the method.
The same predictions, staked two different ways, end the month in two different places: the staking plan is the other half of the job, and it is the half almost nobody works on. Here are the three we use, how they are calculated and when one beats another — with the Masaniello calculator already running on this page.
The three plans, side by side
In the app the plan is already built on today's matches
Here is the method, and you build it by hand. In the app you pick the bankroll and the odds range, and the plan comes out ready on the matches our model chose.
- The matches of the plan, picked by the model: you do not go looking for them
- The stake of each one, recalculated at every result
- A bankroll that updates itself, and the record of all your plans
Masaniello
Choose how many matches to play and how many you can get wrong. Masaniello sets the stake of each match so that, if you hit the ones you need, you reach the target; if you miss more, you lose at most the plan's bankroll. Matches are played one at a time, because the next stake depends on how the previous one went.
Flat
You always stake the same amount, a small share of the starting bankroll, on every match. The result depends only on how many you hit and at what odds: no maths after each match, and matches can be played together. The loss limit closes the plan when you have lost the amount you chose, so a bad day does not take everything.
% Bank
Each stake is a fixed share of the current bankroll, for example 2%. When you win the bankroll grows and the stakes with it; when you lose the stakes shrink by themselves. By design the bankroll never reaches zero.
What is not here, and why
You will not find Martingale, Fibonacci or doubling: the methods that raise the stake after every miss. This is not caution, it is arithmetic — with a finite bankroll the chase empties it sooner or later, however good the matches you play. The three plans above work the other way round: they keep the bankroll standing long enough for the predictions to decide how it goes, which is the one thing we can actually be good at.
