The 6-Point Divisor Plan is an Australian horse racing staking plan from 1989, and the thing that keeps it survivable is not the arithmetic — it is the safety brake. You run into four losers in a row, you start wondering whether the fifth is going to go the same way, and that is the moment a staking plan gets away from a punter. Statsman, writing in Practical Punting in June 1989, had a rule for exactly that moment: whenever your Divisor gets down to two or less, bring in a new Divisor of six and a new Objective.

What you'll learn:
- How the plan actually runs, worked through the article's own example — a Target of $12, a Divisor of six, a first bet of $2, and what a loss does to all three
- The Safety Brake itself: whenever your Divisor gets down to two or less, introduce a new Divisor of six and a new Objective, and add it to the one you already have
- The second moment to use it — when you consider the stakes are rising too sharply, and a string of losers has taken your Target somewhere you never meant it to go
- What it did under pressure: in tests the divisor climbed to 27 during one run of losers and four new Divisors and Targets had to be brought in, and where Statsman says not to use the plan at all
