Oscar's Grind

Positive progression aiming for +1 unit profit per cycle.

Positive progressionMedium riskBacktestableRule v1 (oscars_grind engine v1)

How it works

Start at one unit. Wins increase the next stake carefully so a win does not overshoot the cycle profit goal; losses repeat the same stake. Full cycle tracking uses odds (Hypothetical Payout); Stake Path assumes 2.00 even money when odds are omitted.

Canonical rules

Plain-language summary of the published rule version (same snapshot stored on every backtest).

Goal: +1 unit profit per cycle. Start at 1 unit. After a win, increase stake by 1 unit without exceeding the cycle goal; after a loss, keep stake. Stake Path assumes even-money odds (2.00) when odds are not supplied (confirm).

Push / void: Push returns the stake and does not change progression; the next stake equals the current stake.
Stake Path mode (no user odds): cycle logic assumes decimal odds 2.00 for profit tracking.

Past results don't predict future results. No staking strategy overcomes the bookmaker margin in the long run.
