Well, it's all luck in the end. I think punters have runs and I have a feeling mine's at an end because I have done fairly well this past week - percentage wise I have increased my starting amount by 400%. Thing is with you, you've gone and bet a shedload really, whereas what you should be doing is betting cautiously. Never bet more than 10% of your bank on one bet they say. What I've laid out on those tips amounts to little more than a tenner. If I win on a couple I'll be up, if I win on all I'll be well up but if I lose on all I'll still have enough in the bank to place a similar number of bets the next day. That said sometimes it does pay to be bold - like Border Edge yesterday, I went small stakes but wish to feck that I had gone big on that one (very easy to say in hindsight of course). But as I said, it's all luck in the end.
