Oaksnaf,

[QUOTE=crash]The number of bets most punters have, has everything to do with what action level is the most pleasurable and comfortable. QUOTE]

Above is from my first post on the subject of this thread and this is what you have said in your last thread:

"I find having more selections, gives me security in my mind"

Essentially we are agreeing with each other --more bets = more emotional security --which truly is 'all in our minds', because we all like punting and the amount of bets we have has very little to do with best science and everything to do with how we feel.

There are very good reasons 1c poker machines are often banned in many places and flexi-betting [essentially the 1c poker machine of punting] should be banned for exactly the same reasons.
Interestingly, it has been introduced into the poorest state in Aust., just like 1c poker machines, which are to be found [mostly] in the poorest suburbs.

Both the 1c poker machine and flexi-betting, introduce the wost possible probability of winning and flexi-betting encourages punters to spend on the worst possible TAB take-out [25%+] bet, the exotic.

The question: 'one big bet or many small bets"? [also] has a mathematical side to it as well as an emotional one and it was worth pointing out here in my previous posts, because as with many things in life we do for both pleasure and/or profit, 'best practice' barely gets a look in. Like most other punters, I don't follow it either!
