Hi, could someone please use the example below and try to explain the zero stake rule in overall loss recovery as I can't get my head around it?

Lets say I have a bank of £100 and my % of betting bank is 0.1% my lay bets are placed at 10p per bet, if I lose two lay bets at say 5.0 in a row with 100% loss recovery
I presume my 3rd lay would try to win back £1.60 thereabouts if I set the zero stake rule to 1.0 what does that mean?

many thanks

Hi rizzo18,

Zero stake rule means that bet will only recover loss if loss recovery is greater than 1.0 and percent of betting bank will not be added to bet size.

In your case if loss amount to recover is 1.6 and you set to use zero stake if loss is greater than 1.0, then bet size will be made just out of loss recovery amount of 1.6 e.g. percent of betting bank will not be added to bet size.

Please try it out in simulation mode to ensure that it works like you want it to and to ensure that you have right settings.

Regards,
Rade
