Lay staking plan
(Lay) Recovery
A fixed profit per winning lay, with losses spread over a set number of recovery bets.
The lay version of Recovery. Each lay aims for a target profit, and after a laid runner wins the loss is divided over a number of following bets and added to each, so it's recovered gradually.
Parameters
- Target Profit: the profit each lay aims for.
- Number Of Recovery Bets: how many bets to spread a loss over. Lose £12 with this at 3 and each of the next three lays tries to win back £4 on top of its target.
- Safe Recovery: unticked, each loss adds a point of Target Profit to the next bet, so a winner pays for two races and, with no loss outstanding, your profit is the target times the number of bets placed. Ticked, recovery bets don't add the target; your profit is the target times the number of winning lays outside recovery.
- Multiplier Limit: caps how many points of target can be added to one bet. 1 means loss plus one target after a loss, rather than two.
- Max Running Loss: the most the plan will try to recover; above it each bet recovers Max Running Loss ÷ Number Of Recovery Bets regardless. 0 means no limit.
- Clear Loss If Above Maximum: reset the running loss to zero once it reaches Max Running Loss.
- Multiplier, Running Loss, Recovery Step: read-only running values.
Example
Target profit 10, two recovery bets, Safe Recovery off, no maximum. Each stake is (target × multiplier) + (running loss ÷ 2).
| Bet | Running loss | Stake | Runner | P/L | How the stake was built |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 0 | 10 @ 2.00 | Won | −10 | 10 × 1 |
| 2 | 10 | 25 @ 3.00 | Lost | +25 | 10 × 2 + 10 ÷ 2 |
| 3 | 5 | 15 @ 2.00 | Won | −15 | 10 × 1 + 10 ÷ 2 |
| 4 | 20 | 30 @ 2.00 | Won | −30 | 10 × 2 + 20 ÷ 2 |
| 5 | 50 | 55 @ 3.30 | Lost | +55 | 10 × 3 + 50 ÷ 2 |
| 6 | 25 | 35 @ 4.47 | Lost | +35 | 10 × 1 + 50 ÷ 2 |
| 7 | 0 | 10 @ 2.20 | Won | −12 | 10 × 1 |
With Multiplier Limit set to 1, the target part of every stake would have stayed at 10 × 1.
