Is Fibonacci better than Martingale?

With this method, the stakes increase, but at a slower rate than Martingale. People using the Fibonacci series also often cap the series on the 8th bet and then go back to the beginning of the series if they have had 8 losses in a row. While a lot better than the Martingale system, it is still not a great system.

The Fibonacci Staking Method

Another staking plan that people should not use is the Fibonacci method. This system increases the stake after each loser following the Fibonacci series 1-2-3-5-8-13-21-34. The next number in the Fibonacci series is the previous two added together. With this method, the stakes increase, but at a slower rate than Martingale. People using the Fibonacci series also often cap the series on the 8th bet and then go back to the beginning of the series if they have had 8 losses in a row. While a lot better than the Martingale system, it is still not a great system. Similar to the Martingale system, the Fibonacci method is an inefficient use of your betting money.

The 1326 Staking Method

One more system I want to advise against is the 1326 staking method. In this staking method, people go up one level in the betting series if they win, and go back to the start if they lose. They are basically betting more when they win. They bet 1 unit on their first bet. If they win, they bet 3 units on their next bet. If they win the second bet, they bet 2 units on their third bet. If they win their third bet, they bet 6 units on their fourth bet. The idea is to take advantage of hot streaks in your betting, as if somehow wins are like buses and 4 might come along at once. This is a strange system because it is suggesting that while you are more likely to have 2 wins in a row, it is not so likely a third win will come, so bet less. But if the third win does come, then there is a higher chance of fourth winner coming, so bet 6 units. The 1326 method is an illogical system.

So, what are two good bankroll management methods?

Instead of any of these three systems, I would like to suggest percentage staking and target profit staking as better bank management methods. With percentage staking, you bet a certain percent of your bank on each bet. This is good because as your bank gets bigger, you bet more, and if your bank gets smaller, your stakes get smaller, too. It is very easy to use and it is comfortable to bet a small amount of your bank each time. In theory it should be very hard to go bankrupt following this method. One thing to be careful of here is sticking to the method too strictly at higher odds. If you have a 12 odds horse in a race, it is a lot of money to put 5% of your bank on it. So it is a good idea to decide on different percentages for different odds bands. For example 5% of the bank for lower odds 1.01-1.50, 4% for medium odds 1.51-2.50, 3% for higher odds of 2.51-5.00, 2% for very high odds 5.01-10.00 and 1% for long shots over 10.00 odds. Target profit staking is also an excellent staking method. In this method, you change your stake to achieve a target profit depending on the odds of your bet. If your target is 5% of your bank, then a high odds game would need a low stake, but a low odds game would need a higher stake. The stakes reflect the risk in the bet. I am quite happy to stake 20 points on a 1.25 odds bet or 1 point on a 6.00 odds bet. With Martingale, Fibonacci and 1326, they all focus on the stake with no care for the bank balance or the odds level. Target profit staking has both. But I will give one word of caution, do not use target profit staking for odds under 1.25, because then you will be betting a large amount of your bank on one game, which is never a good idea. Some bettors put their limit at 5% or 10% of their bank. So in those cases, limit your stake at your personal comfort point. I would not bet over 10% on one game, even if the odds are 1.10 and it is Manchester City at home to a non-league team in the FA cup. Shocks do happen.

These two staking plans are good to use together. So for this reason I suggest Target Profit Staking with a target of 5% for odds of 1.25 or over and Percentage Staking 5% of your bank for odds of 1.25 or under. Returning to Martingale once more, some people felt they could still use this system if they looked outside casinos for places to apply it. Some people turned to sports betting to look for events that are more connected and less independent like casino table games. Markets with even odds are often the over/under 2.5 goals bets, no. of corners bets, the Asian handicap bets or tennis bets between similarly able players. Some people feel that if they back over 2.5 goals and follow one specific team until they get over 2.5 goals, then they have less chance of hitting a long losing streak. Betaminic’s Betamin Builder Tool uses a huge database of soccer statistics and bookmaker odds to find value patterns in football games. Some of those strategies use the over 2.5 goals market and have many bets around the evens level. This makes some people think it is a good strategy to use the Martingale system with. One of those betting strategies is called “Over 2.5 Against the Trend”. (You can follow this strategy yourself by signing up for free on the Betaminic website.) The average odds of its bets are 2.29. It has made 139 points profit from 744 bets which gives it an amazing 18.79% yield and 52% win rate. That makes it look good in the eyes of some Martingale fans. But I will show how using the right kind of staking methods can be a much more efficient use of your betting bank. Look at the results for these 5 staking plans and this actual Betaminic system. We can test the historical betting data in staking software and see what different settings would result in. We can also run Monte Carlo Simulations. This is where we take the data and shuffle the order of the bets. The order of the bets is decided by the luck of the fixture list. It is important to shuffle the data to see if you would get similar results if the fixture list had been different. The betting system’s edge or your betting skill can be constant, but it is the luck of the fixture list that can change how a staking system performs. A strong staking plan should not go bankrupt in any shuffled simulation.
