Lay Maria Liability Staking Plan
It is worth noting from the outset that the Lay Maria Liability Staking Plan is so called due to similarities to the default Maria Staking Plan.
The default Maria Staking Plan can be found here www.thestakingmachine.com/staking_plans/lay-maria
The Maria Liability Staking Plan pretty much uses the same rules as the default Maria Staking Plan however there is one difference. Instead of a fixed stake being used for each odds range. There is a fixed liability. The settings available in TSM are as in the picture below
There are 3 odds ranges. Each odds range has its own liability level.
For instance in the example above with all odds less than 3.5 the liability will be 1% of the bank. In this case 1% x 1000 or £10.
The next odds range is less than or equal to 7.5 (but obviously greater than 3.5). In this instance the liability per bet is 0.6% x 1000 or £6.
The final odds range is less than or equal to 11 (but obviously greater than 7.5). In this instance the liability per bet is 0.3% x 1000 or £3.
Any odds over 11 are shown as a zero stake. They still show up in the results table. But no stake is used.
Frequently Asked Questions
Answer: The Lay Maria Liability Staking Plan is the liability version of the Lay Maria plan. It uses different fixed liability percentages of your current bank for different odds ranges (instead of fixed stakes). This provides tiered risk control based on the lay odds.
Answer:
- Start Bank – Your initial betting bank
- Liability % for each Odds Range (default ranges below)
- Re-Calculate Every – How often the liability is updated (default = 1)
- Use <LB> for Last Bet of the Day – Only recalculate when this code appears
- Ability to add up to 3 extra odds ranges and fully customise all liability percentages
Answer:
- ≤ 3.5 → 1% of bank
- 3.6 – 7.5 → 0.6% of bank
- 7.6 – 11.0 → 0.3% of bank
-
11.0 → 0% (no bet)
Example: £1,000 bank at 2% liability and 5.0 odds → Liability = £20 → Stake = £5.00
Answer: Lay Maria uses a fixed % of bank as the stake. Lay Maria Liability uses a fixed % of bank as the liability (maximum loss), with the stake then calculated based on the odds. This gives more consistent risk control across different odds.
Answer: It works best with high strike-rate lay systems (typically 80%+), especially those focused on shorter odds. It is less suitable for low strike-rate or very volatile systems.
Answer: It is more sophisticated than simple Level or Percentage plans due to its odds-based liability tiers. It offers good protection on longer odds while still allowing growth on shorter odds.
