Maria 5 User-guide.

Cloud and Excel Version.

Welcome, thanks for the support.

This staking is for laying.

 
IMPORTANT REMINDER

Lay betting means, of course, that you are betting that  your selection will LOSE  the event.

But if your selection WINS then you must pay   the Liability amount calculated by the software.

Your betting exchange will automatically debit your account. 

 

OK, this is a cloud software, so nothing to download, you only need the website to the software, and your username and password.

OK, on our bikes, let start our very first session.

Let's keep it low key to start while you learn.

Below is the setting I suggest you start with.

Apply Ratchet?: Maria preferred to use the ratchet.

• If the Apply Ratchet option is selected (Ticked) the Current Bank is updated with profits and losses day-by-day. All bets are calculated from the Current Bank balance at the start of a new session.

• In other words, bets are increased or decreased in proportion to the Current Bank on a daily basis – not race-by-race.

• This option is suitable for those who want to use Maria-5 and lay their bets in one hit well in advance of the races, such as before going to work or during a lunch break. Maria preferred this option.

She clearly states:

This means that at the end of each day, the next day's "current bank" figure is known. 6 For example, if there's a good start and the £3,000 bank grows, then the stakes are worked out as proportion of the new higher figure, and increase slightly the next day.

This may sound insignificant but it makes a huge difference to the results.

 

OK, let's look at the 1st race under this new session.

You can leave a session and come back once you know the result, great if you are following football bets.

Just make sure you hit GO on the bet before returning home to continue another session or starting a new one.

Once the result is known, return to the session and fill in the result.

That is how you use this software.

It gives organisation and a clear picture of how your bets are going.

And allows you to run multiple sessions, like horses in different countries, dogs and sports.

The Settings:

The bet calculations are made according to Maria’s Staking Rules, shown as follows:

Laying is in three clearly defined price ranges.

• If the betting exchange price available is less than 3.5 (5/2) the lay stake is 1% of your betting capital.

• If the exchange price is between 3.6 and 7.4, the lay stake is 0.6% of your betting capital.

• If the exchange price is between 7.5 and 11 (don’t lay anything higher than 10/1), the lay stake is 0.4% of your betting capital.

 

Examples (based on a 1,000 unit bank):

Prices below 3.5: lay to 1% of bank – backer’s stake 10 (your liability under 25)

Prices from 3.6 to 7.4 inclusive: lay to 0.6% of bank – potential winnings 6 (your liability 15.60 to 38.40)

Prices from 7.5 to 11 inclusive: lay to 0.4% of bank – potential winnings 4 (your liability 26 to 44).

The smaller your starting bank the smaller your initial winnings.

But as your betting capital grows, you will stake and win more whilst staying within the rules.

NB: Under the rules, anything above 11.00 [10/1] is left alone. Why? Think “Liability…”

Tools..

OK, what else may help is our Easy Bet Bot Deluxe.

I strongly recommend Easy Bet Bot deluxe.

Why?

  • You can bet under the betfair minimum (important on the 3rd to 6th horses)
  • You can sort the market in Fav order instantly.
  • It is fast to use.
