The Strategy and Qualifiers do not change. Only the implementation assumptions below change how that published track is staked.

Working Bank path

The purpose of this datasheet is to show how this selection strategy would have performed over the last 60 calendar months (five years), broken down as far as practical — under example staking rules, not as personal advice.

The selection strategy shapes the win/loss pattern. Your Working Bank staking rules shape how that pattern turns into your illustrated result.

Figures below use example staking rules for illustration only. investorbet does not recommend a staking percentage, collar, or cap. An IFA may advise; we do not.

Working Bank illustration: 1% of Working Bank per trade, collar £50, cap £100, starting Working Bank £5,000. Take every qualifier in the published track. Working Bank stays yours.

Working Bank paths shown: Fresh, Hybrid, and Continuous.

The window is the last 60 calendar months ending on the public Strategies cut-off. After each calendar month closes and results are confirmed, the next rebuild shifts the window forward one month.

Path figures are after the Variable Success Fee. The Seat Fee is not taken off those figures — see Fees.

Three Working Bank paths

Same Strategy. Same Qualifiers.

The Strategy and Qualifiers are identical on every path. What changes is how the £5,000 Working Bank is treated.

What would have happened to the same £5,000 starting Working Bank if I'd managed it in these three different ways?

Fresh bank each year

Fresh is a stress test: up to five separate one-year journeys, each starting with £5,000. That is not the normal staking method. You can run it that way if you like.

+£32,337

about +£6,467 per year on average

Hybrid

Hybrid always starts at £5,000. At the beginning of each following year, if the bank is below £5,000 we assume it is topped back up to £5,000.

+£49,134

about +£9,827 per year on average

Continuous

Continuous puts £5,000 in once and leaves it. Note that if the Continuous Working Bank falls below zero, you either need to top it up, or walk away.

Capital velocity · last 60 months

The same Working Bank is staked again as results settle. Amount staked is turnover from that Working Bank — not extra capital paid in. That recirculation is why a modelled net figure can be large next to a £5,000 set-aside without treating the £5,000 as if it were staked once.

This is not a five-year investment. We do not hold the Working Bank you set aside. These figures are not a forecast. They are modelled from research and settled results over the last five years.

“£5,000 each year” is up to five independent one-year runs. Think of five different people, each putting in £5,000 for one of those years — not one person rolling the same bank for five years. Opening bank is therefore 5 × £5,000. Final capital is the sum of the five year-end banks. Profit or loss is the sum of those five year results.

Net ROI is net profit after fees ÷ amount staked. It is not a return on the Working Bank set aside.

Profit / loss is Working Bank trading P/L before fees. Total fees and Net profit include the Variable Success Fee plus the Seat Fee for these years. See Fees.

“£5,000 each year” is up to five independent one-year runs. Think of five different people, each putting in £5,000 for one of those years — not one person rolling the same bank for five years. Opening bank is therefore 5 × £5,000. Final capital is the sum of the five year-end banks. Profit or loss is the sum of those five year results.

Continuous £5,000 £54,134 +£49,133.93 £54,134

Combined final bank = Opening bank + Top-ups + Profit or loss. Top-ups are capital you add — not counted as profit. Hybrid tops the Working Bank back up to £5,000 at the beginning of each following year when it is below. Continuous never tops up.

Risk · three paths

Maximum drawdown is peak Working Bank to subsequent trough (fresh path: worst within any single year). Rolling windows are the worst sum of monthly P/L over 3 / 6 / 12 calendar months. Profit after seat fees deducts five years at the founder rate (£1,440/yr inc. VAT) — one seat, not five. Path figures already include the Variable Success Fee.

Fees & risk

Fees

The Seat Fee is £1,200 + VAT per Seat, per year, paid in advance for a 1, 3 or 5 year term. It is separate from the Success Fee.

Variable is 20% + VAT only on a new month-end high on the path we charge on (£5,000, 1% of every qualifier, £50–£100). Or you choose Fixed for the term — see the fee policy.

These are the Variable Success Fees (20% + VAT) that would have been charged over these five years. They are the same on every Working Bank path.

Risk

These figures are what happened over these 60 months under the example rules — not a forecast. Edges change. You can stop whenever you want. Do not stake money you cannot afford to lose. 18+ only.

Any money you stake is at risk. If the horse does not win the race, that stake is lost. If the horse wins, your stake is returned, together with a profit determined by the odds.

A Strategy aims to produce more profit from winning stakes than is lost from losing stakes over time, but this is not guaranteed. Each stake is at risk until that race is settled.

Understanding probability explains why you still need a Working Bank, even though it is not the thing at risk.
