What is the Proportional Betting System?

Most sports betting systems have one big drawback – each individual bet has a different risk, but the bet size is almost always the same.  It turns out that in some cases the player risks less than in others.  You should understand that the level of risk at bets of 1. 10 and 5. 40 is not comparable.  Therefore, the amount of bets should also differ.

A proportional betting system assumes different bet amounts, depending on the risks that the bettor carries.

The essence of the proportional betting system

You can bet on this system for any odds, but you need to decide what size of the bet you will use in equiprobable markets (with a chance of 50% per pass).  It is desirable that the bet on such an event does not exceed 2% of the bank.  We will analyze the situation when the bet on an event with a coefficient of 2. 00 is 1% and 2% of the bank.

There is a very simple formula that will help you determine the size of the bet.  It has the following form:

• 1 / k * 2 (formula for a 1% interest bet with a coefficient of 2. 00)
• 1 / k * 4 (formula for a 2-percent bet with a coefficient of 2. 00)
• where k is the coefficient of the event

Example

Suppose we decided to put the first formula.  We have three betting markets, with odds of 1. 10, 2. 50 and 4. 00.  Calculate the amount of bets

• 1 / 1. 10 * 2 = 1. 81
• 1 / 2. 50 * 2 = 0. 8
• 1 / 4. 00 * 2 = 0. 5

Now, if you make bets on such amounts, then in each of them you will win 2% of the bank.  Given the change in the bank, it is necessary to adjust the amount of bets from time to time, but it is best to do this based on the results of a significant stretch of the game (after a week, a month, 100 bets, etc.).

Such a system allows you to increase or decrease the size of the bets, depending on the chances of the passage of the market.  Playing the second formula is more aggressive, it can generate more revenue faster, but if the player finds a band of failures, then the bank will be exhausted much faster.

Conclusion

A proportional betting system is suitable for those strategies that assume bets for different coefficients.  This system easily adapts to any game and significantly reduces the risks of the player.  Also, such a system is acceptable for playing at high odds.
