The Budget (Bankroll)
How much money you decide to invest in this challenge (e.g. €50). This is your maximum cap.

The Parachute: Why is it Different?
Unlike normal bets, where one error ruins everything, here a loss is expected. The system recalculates the next stake to get you to the profit you set at the beginning anyway.
You don't have to be perfect. You just have to follow the plan.
Set your Challenge in 3 Steps
Imagine configuring an app on your phone. You enter three pieces of data and it does everything else, telling you exactly what to do.
The Margin of Error (Events)
How many matches you will play total and how many you think you'll hit. For example: 'I play 10, I only need 6'.
The Average Odds
The average value of the matches you choose (e.g. 2.00). The higher it is, the riskier it is, but the system adapts.
No Excel Sheets, the Tool does it all
The story tells of Masaniello born on famous Excel sheets used by professionals for years. Today you no longer need to know how to use Excel. There are online tools and automatic calculators that work from your phone. You enter the match result and the tool immediately writes: 'Next bet: €7.50'. Zero calculations, zero errors.
Now that you understand the theory, let's move to practice. Follow these 4 simple steps:
1
Step 1: Define your Bankroll (Budget)
Decide how much money you are willing to invest in this cycle (e.g. €50). Enter this value in the "Starting Balance" box of the calculator.
Remember: do not use more than 5-10% of your total bankroll.

Step 2: Choose Total (N) and Expected (K) Events
How many matches do you want to play in total? Write for example "10" in the "Total Events" box. Now be realistic: out of these 10, how many do you think you'll hit based on your stats? Enter for example "7" in the "Expected Events" box. You can afford to miss 3 predictions and still win!

Step 3: Enter the Average Odds
What type of bets do you usually make? If you often play outcomes like Over 1.5 or Goal, your average odds might be around 1.60. Enter this value in the calculator. Try to keep the real odds of your bets as close as possible to this average.

Step 4: Stake the "Stake" and Update
Click on "Calculate". The software will tell you the suggested Stake. Bet that amount and then update the outcome:
Won (1)
Lost (0)
The system will instantly recalculate the bet for the second match. Continue until you close the cycle.
| Step | Starting Balance | Odds | Stake | Outcome | Final Balance |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 100.00€ | 2.00 | 31.25€ | Won | 131.25€ |
| 2 | 131.25€ | 2.00 | 18.75€ | Lost | 112.50€ |
| 3 | 112.50€ | 2.00 | 37.50€ | Won | 150.00€ |
| 4 | 150.00€ | 2.00 | 28.00€ | Won | 122.00€ (Target OK) |
Multi Masaniello: PRO Diversification
The secret of professionals is MultiMasa. Instead of playing a single cycle with €100, divide the capital into 5-6 cycles of €20 each. Why? If one cycle goes wrong, the others protect your overall portfolio. It's the same principle of financial diversification used by traders to manage long-term risk.
How the bankroll moves during a Serie A weekend
Imagine a N=5, K=3 cycle with an average odds of 1.50. If you win the first two, the stake for the third lowers: the system secures early gains. If you lose the first, the stake rises to recover, but always staying within the initially allocated bankroll. This is the discipline of Masaniello.

Why 90% of bettors fail with Masaniello
The All-In
Putting your entire budget on a single cycle. If you fail that cycle, you've lost everything. Solution: use MultiMasa.
The Odds Salad
Mixing too many different odds (e.g. 1.25 and 3.00) in the same cycle skews the math. Choose similar odds.
Greed
Seeking a 100% gain in a single cycle. It's gambling, not investment. Target a 10-20% ROI.
Random Betting
Inserting matches just to 'fill the slots'. Without technical analysis, no method will save you.
Use a bankroll for the cycle that never exceeds 10% of your total bankroll.
Play matches at different times (or use Differential) to recalculate the correct stake.
A high stake after a loss is mathematical, not emotional. Respect the plan or don't start.
