System Banker Idea!

[Win2Win]

I was wondering whether to add a 'Cut n Run' option to the software.

What would it do? During a bad run, some folk may want to 'bail out' before it eats up all the profit, so it would reset the loser counter back to zero, although it is advisable not to use it. It could only be used when in profit, not during runs where stakes are in the actual starting bank.

So if you started with say £1000, and had £800 profit, and a losing run of 14 had you down to £200 profit, and the next stake would take that and some of the bank, using the function would leave you with £1200, and no losing run.

What do you think? As I say, I'd never use it, but some folk 'bottle' big stakes, and it still means you have a profit.

Options like this are useful additions to the software, even if the majority wouldn't use them. But I would say you ought to issue fairly strict guidelines as to when to use the option and what impact it would have on potential profits etc.

for me it defeats the object but can realy only be a good thing

Maybe a lock on it so it only activates after say 10-12 losers, and if you are still only using profit, not the bank?

Most folk wouldn't use it....I hope :)

I'd also do it so that when pressed, a pop-up comes up, with a warning, and the need to type in the security code.

Can't you cut n' run any time simply by resetting the software though ? So in your example you could just reset and start again with a £1200 bank instead of £1000 ? Or am I missing something ?

That would reset everything though, all the records, all the stats, any staking increases, etc

whats the recommended starting bank for this keith ?

Still don't quite get it, apologies if I'm being thick ! :D
I understand that you'd lose the history and stats etc, but wouldn't losing staking increases be the point of the cut n' run option ? If you started with a bank of £1000, got it up to £1800 then had a losing run and used the cut n' run option when the bank was at £1200, would your next stake be different than if you were starting fresh with a £1200 bank ?

[Win2Win]

Why would you want to lose all the data and stats? The rolling stake increases are based on past history, and they would be reset to the BB if you reset everything, rather than automatically adjusted to fit the bank/profits.

Whatever you are prepared to lose, same as any bank.

what i mean is if you had an account with betfair , the minimum bet is £2 so what would the starting bank have to be ? or doesnt it work like that ? ( sorry if i sound thick)

[Street cry]

a starting bank of a grand starts you at £1.40 per bet

thanks sc

It allows you to select Exchange to set it at a minimum of £2 stake, but it does put the bank at higher risk than doing the 'bookie' stake, which is the default BB.

Betdaq has a lower minimum stake too. I think it's 1 currency unit

I'm sure it's a good idea Keith - but still seems a bit like putting stabilisers on a racing bike :D

Just throwing the idea out to the masses :) ....what do I know? :D
