Staking Simulations
From Fixed Odds Sports Betting by Joseph Buchdahl
the tables below show the averaged results from 10,000 simulations
with 250 bets placed with a starting bankroll of £100

This is the simplest form of staking with each
bet involving a stake of £1
-
It has the lowest returns of any staking method

-
The returns on Fixed Percentage compared to Fixed Stakes
are all higher.
-
At the lowest stakes (1 point stake) the increase in returns
are small about 6%, but at the highest stakes the increase
goes shooting up to over 2000%
-
The risks of bankruptcy is close to zero for stakes up to
5 points. Even with 10 point stakes, the risk of bankruptcy
is still very low for odds of 0.5 or 0.6, but is unacceptably
high for shorter odds (up to 40% risk).
-
The risks of not making a profit are also higher.
