WHAT IT MEANS
What Is Minding a Mark?
Minding a Mark means selecting a Play Whe mark and continuing to play that same mark over successive draws, often increasing the wager after a miss.
This calculator does not select or predict a mark. Use it to see progression cost, bankroll exposure and what a win would mean at each stage.
Minding a Mark does not predict when your mark will play. It helps you plan the cost and possible result of continuing to play a mark you have already chosen.
HOW TO USE IT
How to Use It
- Select the mark you are already considering.
- Choose Set Increase or Multiplier and enter your bankroll.
- Set the starting Base wager, then optionally add fixed Mega Mixx wagers on top of it.
- Read the table from top to bottom. It stops before the next complete wager your bankroll cannot fund.
Risk and exposure: a miss consumes the full wager and increases the cumulative amount at risk. A Mega outcome only applies if your selected base mark wins and that corresponding Mega option is also drawn. Mega add-ons change the payoff structure and total exposure; they do not increase the chance that your Play Whe mark itself will be drawn.

IN PRACTICE
Playing the Progression in Practice
Progressive minding is result-dependent: the next wager is needed only if the previous wager misses. A win ends that minding cycle. Prepaying many future draws can conflict with a progressive plan because later wagers may already have been committed before the result of earlier draws is known.
INTERACTIVE TOOL
Minding a Mark Calculator
Choose your mark, set a progression and optionally allocate each step to Mega Mixx.
Mind one mark traditionally, or use Mark Pool to follow several marks under the same staking plan. Adding marks increases coverage, but it also increases the amount staked on each draw.
