Up X Down Y Staking System Calculator (AUD)

Up X units after a win, down Y after a loss — a tunable positive progression.

Loading calculator…

Up X / Down Y is a configurable progression: after a win you add X units to your stake, after a loss you drop Y units, never below one unit. Set X higher than Y to press winning runs; the reverse to press recoveries.

Adjust the up and down steps and play a sequence to feel how the stake breathes with your results.

How it works

With the default of up 1, down 2, the plan presses gently on a hot run and cuts back quickly when you lose — staking more when things go well and protecting the bank when they don’t. It’s a flexible middle ground between flat and aggressive staking.

Like any progression it can’t beat the odds; tuning X and Y only changes how the stake responds to streaks, not the long-run edge.

stake = units × unit; +X units after a win, −Y units after a loss (floor 1 unit).

Worked example

Unit $10 · up 1, down 2 · odds $3.00
  • Start $10. Win → $20. Win → $30. Loss → back to $10.
  • Presses winning runs, snaps back fast on a loss.

Change the up/down steps above and replay.

FAQ

How does Up X Down Y work?
You raise the stake by X units after each win and lower it by Y units after each loss, with a one-unit floor. The X and Y values are yours to set.
What settings should I use?
Up more than down (e.g. up 1, down 2) presses winners while protecting the bank on losses. Up less than down chases recoveries. Neither changes the underlying edge.
Is it a safe plan?
It’s gentler than doubling plans, but any positive-step progression still rides variance. Size the unit to swings you can sit through.
