Ladder Betting
A ladder is a sequence of fixed‐odds bets where you bet to compound winnings. Below are two popular +200 (2-to-1) ladder approaches—with just six steps you can turn $100 into thousands.
1. Banked-Principal Ladder
After each win, immediately “bank” your original $100. From then on every wager comes only from your accumulated profits—so you never risk that $100 again.
| Rung | Stake | Odds | Return | Profit | Cumulative | Banked |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $100 | +200 | $300 | $200 | $200 | $100 |
| 2 | $200 | +200 | $600 | $400 | $600 | $100 |
| 3 | $400 | +200 | $1,200 | $800 | $1,400 | $100 |
| 4 | $800 | +200 | $2,400 | $1,600 | $3,000 | $100 |
| 5 | $1,600 | +200 | $4,800 | $3,200 | $6,200 | $100 |
| 6 | $3,200 | +200 | $9,600 | $6,400 | $12,600 | $100 |
If you win all six: Banked principal = $100; cumulative profit = $12,600;
Total value: $12,700.
2. Full-Play Ladder
You leave your entire bankroll—including the seed—on each rung. Growth is faster, but a single loss wipes you out.
| Rung | Bankroll Before | Return | After Win |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | $100 | $300 | $300 |
| 2 | $300 | $900 | $900 |
| 3 | $900 | $2,700 | $2,700 |
| 4 | $2,700 | $8,100 | $8,100 |
| 5 | $8,100 | $24,300 | $24,300 |
| 6 | $24,300 | $72,900 | $72,900 |
If you win all six: Final bankroll = $72,900 (profit $71,900 on your $100 seed).
