Money Management is a technique used to manage your money to give you optimum results when using any portion of it. The number 1 reason most people lose money when betting is, they DO NOT have a money management tool like the Equalizer365™ Pad.

The Rate Of Return (ROR) is the amount or percentage to be made on your money for using this particular setting on the Equalizer365™ Pad. All percentages are based on the "amount of money" you start with as well as the "odds per wager." These percentages are approximate for each rate of return setting on the Equalizer365™ Pad and the approximate rate of return on your money. On average the Medium High ROR setting produces approximately 48% compared to the Low ROR. As you can see, the variables can be so different and that's why the settings are described as low to high versus an exact percentage.
Note - Even though you always get back 100% of ALL your previous wagers when you WIN your current wager, we do not count this in on the Rate of Return percentage calculations above.

This button on the Equalizer365™ Pad allows you to set the net amount or profit that you would like to make per wager. Example: Say you have the Goal Per Wager set for $20. This means that if you win on your very first wager, you would win a total net profit of $20. This also means that you could have several wagers in a row that did not come in, say 8 and yet when your 9th wager comes in, you would make back all 8 of your CODB wagers plus you would still make a net profit of $180. This is one of the things that makes the Equalizer365™ Pad so powerful! Win or lose, you are always in the mode of Winning!
