The Staking Machine or TSM for short brings to the sports betting world a professional software tool to assist with money management. And it’s our featured review for the month of December 2008.

This software allows you to  keep track of all your bets with ease and test how systems compare against each other, and how your performance would have been using alternative staking plans.

TSM allows you to enter all your past bets and see immediately which staking plan is best suited to your selection system. Covers Backing, Laying and Each Way Betting. Not only can TSM be used to analyse your bets it can also be used to track your bets. Once you have chosen your staking plan the next stake is automatically calculated so that you do no work.
