The “going after” is the strategy, which uses betting on one event till it happens (for example betting on the total over of the team). The going after necessarily should be used only together with some financial strategy, and by the way only progressive (for example, Martingale), but with some corrections.
It is the most popular strategy among gamblers, who aren’t professionals yet, but not novices already.
Because the sense of the “going after” is getting the income after the winning even if you had a lot of previous losses. The progression of the sum of the stakes depends on the coefficient strongly. If the coefficient of the event which is “gone after” isn’t less than two, you can use the martingale as a strategy without any corrections.
Though the “going after” is used for the events with a little coefficients, and that’s why you have to work with a financial strategy in this case. If the coefficient of the “going after” can’t be lees that already known meaning for each iteration, the permanent coefficient of the multiplying the stake C can be counted with the formula:
C=1+ (1/(k-1))
Where k – it’s a minimal possible size of the coefficient. Then in even the worst case your winning will be (k-1)*S0, where S0 – it’s a sum of the initial stake. This way is the most advantageous for the “going after” the event with a big coefficient. If the coefficient is more than two, then the martingale will give a great growing of the sizes of the stake comparing with the formula.
That’s why you should better use the formula. But the most often the “gong after” are used in the betting on the events with the coefficients 1.5-1.8 (the totals), and here the best is to use the formula, which gives the sizes of the stake S depending on the sum W, which you would like to have after the pure lottery (the formula is rather good for the “going after” on the events, the coefficients of which are changing all the time).
S= (W+Sn)/ (k’-1)
Where the Sn – is lost during the “going after” sum (the sum of all lost stakes after the last winning, or, if there is no lottery, after the beginning of the “going after”), K’ – present coefficient.
If your purpose is to get the percent N*100% after the finishing of the “going after” from one bet, your next stake should be counted with this formula:
S=(Sn*(N+1))/(K’-N-1)
Thus, it’s necessarily to determine the size of the initial stake, leading by your own tastes and views. If the event will be overtaken during the first iteration, we’ll get that percent only in the case, when K’=N+1, with any size of the stake.
