Flat stake — a betting model where the same fixed amount is placed on each prediction, rather than varying the stake based on confidence or current streaks. This is how Plus With Us calculates ROI in the open statistics: without "lucky" bankroll boosts and without hidden selections for large sizing. Below, we explain why this model is needed, how it differs from a variable bankroll, and how to interpret flat ROI in practice.
Flat Stake in Simple Terms
Imagine placing the same fixed unit on each calculated prediction — regardless of whether it's football, tennis, or hockey, and regardless of whether the previous bet was a win. The final profit and ROI are calculated on this consistent basis. This is a reporting model, not a recommendation to always bet the same amount with your own money.
Why Flat Stake is More Honest for Series Verification
A live bankroll with variable stakes can create an appealing growth curve due to a fortunate period and increased stake size during that time. Flat stake removes this effect and answers a more honest question: if you bet the same from start to finish, what does the series of recommendations achieve without the influence of sizing?
Advantages of flat stake for statistics readers:
- Results are easy to recalculate independently;
- Harder to hide losses behind an appealing variable bankroll curve;
- Easier to compare months and different sports;
- Numbers are comparable between services if they calculate the same way.
What Flat Stake Does Not Do
Flat stake is not personal risk management and not advice on stake size. It doesn't tell you what percentage of your bankroll to bet, doesn't consider your bookmaker limits, and doesn't promise that tomorrow's series will repeat yesterday's. It's a way to honestly show the distance, not a guarantee of future results.
ROI and Flat Stake — How They Are Connected
ROI on Plus With Us is calculated based on the sum of bets using the flat model, not the starting bankroll with variable sizing — these are different approaches and should not be confused. A detailed breakdown of the metric is in the guide “What is ROI in Predictions”.
How to Interpret Flat ROI in Practice
- Open the statistics and check the overall ROI.
- Review the monthly archive — negative months are normal for an honest series.
- If you have a narrow interest, apply a filter by sport: football, tennis, hockey, basketball.
- Compare several cards in the forecast catalog or in the today's feed — the market and coupon screenshot should match the description.
If the numbers are "too perfect" and no losses are visible at all — this is a reason to be cautious on any site, not just ours. On Plus With Us, negative periods are published openly, without retouching.
Flat Stake and Choosing Access Format
While testing the service, free forecasts and the general statistics archive are sufficient.

Common Mistakes When Reading Flat Statistics
- Confusing flat ROI with bankroll growth as a percentage of the deposit.
- Assuming the flat model advises a specific percentage of the bankroll for you personally.
- Drawing conclusions from a short series of 10–20 bets.
- Ignoring the monthly archive and only looking at the overall result.
