you will always make smarter bets when you have less money!

im convinced its a matter of concentration...when you have lots of cash in your acct you will be drawn to favs more than usual, handicap less, and bet big blindly for big cash more often..reckless basically...but when you have less in the acct it becomes time to "focus" and get extra sharp and grind out winners..and you will win..so you have to constantly remind yourself of this mantra..it does not take money to make money..it takes winners.

Agreed

Withdrawl, leave only 10% of winning

I am the opposite. I was rolling and made too much of a withdrawal and had a little balance, played too safe and shit the bed. Just made a deposit into another book and will try to leave more in there next time

i don't think the correlation of (stack of money to intelligent bets) is as important as the correlation of (level of sobriety to intelligent bets)

Not true and I could probably convince you otherwise. You ever been on tilt? Let's say you start with 1k and find yourself after a few bets at 200, you'll piss it away. I do agree with you somewhat, cause if I get to 1.5k I'm playing with 'my winnings' and give myself a bit of room for error. Either way, patience is key.

Mh217 I've never heard anything in my life more true. I put 500a in can move it to 5k in a week then I go crazy. Your theory is dead on

Great post

10000000% true

Agreed, started with 200, making 50-100 dollar bets over 10 days. Ran it to 3500 then lost 7 straight 500 dollar bets and had 0...chased one loss with another with another with another and surely after 6 loses, I can't lose SEVEN IN A ROW, right? Nope, sure can.

This is why you need to set yourself an account maximum and withdraw any money over that amount. For me it's $2000 and even if my account is $2020 I'll withdraw $20. I'm at betfair so there is no withdraw fees which is nice. If there are withdraw fees then you will have to say your account max is $2000 but when you hit $2100 you'll withdraw the $100.

Its a disease though

We will never learn

Once the money rolls in goodbye small bets
