My comments so far have only been to have a go at those who see intelligence linked to higher education [generally, only a post-war Western phenomenon]. As for the small bank to kick off with, I'm with Mark and Easyrun. If you can win you can win and the odds are in your favour that you won't kick off with a run of outs. A big bank just puts off the inevitable downfall of the mug punter who 'thinks' they can live off the punt.
Interestingly, Phil Purser is a plus $7 man too. He thinks short odds and lots of bets are for losers who can't consistently spot a few decent bets a month to jump on because their handicapping skills are hopeless.. I've been leaning that way too for awhile now too and the smaller the odds the smaller my bets. The results have been very good indeed.
I think we should let easyrun have his say, as I think there are a few here who only see what they want to see and are knocking the bloke prematurely because his ideas obviously differ to their gospel of punting. Closed minds learn nothing.

I'll say it again, I'm not knocking the bloke at all.
Much of what he has written is excellent.
crash, as we all have differing strategies, there's nothing wrong with $7 plus bets at all, and I never criticised those bets.
Neither did I criticize starting off small, better to start off small than get burned early with a big bank.
Mark's experience demonstrated this very well, he now lives off that initial $500 after losing $2,500.
What I did question was the flawed maths in a $6,000 bank to earn $50,000 when you are betting $7 plus shots.
Unless he is using some other method than win betting it simply cannot be done. Not only can't I do it, NOBODY else can - the numbers do not add up.
I'll leave this thread now for any further comment, as , in my opinion, it's quite irresponsible to post something like this that might lead to someone following such action in future.
TheEasyRun is quite entitled to his say, but -1 + -1 will never equal +1, win betting.
I also feel an inevitable staking plan coming on which would only lead to further comment from myself which might be misinterpreted as a personal attack, so I'll refrain from commenting on that as well.
