    Acronyms Exlplained & strategy.

    I would like it simply explained how I would work out the states on these bets please:
    11 bets of which 4 won.
    11bets @ £1 per bet (win single) = £11 staked.
    £17.5 return.

    I know LS= Level Stake. I know that ROI = Return on Investment. Is there some kind of standard for explaining things or is the above good enough?

    My other request for info is this; I work out the horses I would like to back the night before & place my bets around 7am. I have no access to a bookmaker between 10.30am until around 6.30pm during the day. Can anyone tell me of a better staking plan other than LS, or a strategy to suit this system? Ta.

    Not sure what you really want here, not sure what states means, but...

    You made:
    Profit 6.5pts (Returned minus Staked)
    ROI = 59% (Profit divided by No. of Bets)
    SR = 36.4% (Wins divided by No. of Bets)

    There is not really enough bets to decide on a staking plan, you need in the region of at least 100, probably 500 bets before deciding.

    % of bank is probably one of the best staking plans, but on a system with a SR like yours you really only want to be staking 3% MAX (if starting bank £100 thats £3 per bet to start, recalculated at the start of each day).

    With regards to abbreviations:

    LS = Level Stakes
    ROI = Return on Investment
    SR = Strike Rate
    RP = Racing Post
    SP = Starting Price
    f/c = Forecast Price
    EP = Early Prices

    Can't think of anymore off the top of my head.

    OK, that's good advice. I have been following the % of bank strategy. I started with £34. This has grown to £54 in 4 days, including one day losing! I have been posting my selections in Fun Bets, but I will move them to System Qualifiers.
