Online I rarely bet more than $10/hand at cards because I'm always scared of losing.
So in a way I'm not a very good gambler because I don't take any big risks, but maybe that's a good thing actually... Small risks, moderate profits, big smile!  |
KK, with horse racing, you have to be prepared for the losing runs. No matter how good your selection process is, you will always run into a losing run.
Even if you're only backing fancied runners you can still rack up a 10 losing run so you have to be prepared for that and be able to handle it.
So I wouldn't agree with Beat the Bookie when he says 'hit that shit with all your wallet'!!
I only play £10 per stake but my selections can be any price range which means I am prepared for a losing run when it comes by only doing £10 stakes.
I just simply wouldn't feel comfortable doing £40-£50 stakes because even though I'm confident I'll win out in the long term, it is still doesn't feel comfortable when things aren't going your way. Maybe afew more months down the line with the turf coming up, I may increase the stakes, but as I stand, £10 a bet is fine by me
