Thank you one and all, like I said I would run some stats on my figures with betting a % of a bank. I just updated my spreadsheet and this is now my correct figures, keeping it simple this time:

No of bets 136, (over a 3 month period usually only betting syd and mel sats)
No of wins 42 for a flat level stakes POT of 29.4%

Using a $100 bank and betting 5% of that bank I ended up with a POT of 16%, my bank was wiped out at one point so I guess I had to borrow some of the housekeeping money to top it up.

Using a $1000 bank and betting .5% of that bank I ended up with a POT of 25.8% and of course my bank was never threatened. The starting bet was $5 and after having those 136 bets was still betting $6 per bet.

Bottom line, all very interesting with level stakes still coming out on top over the 3 month period.

When your on a roll with any sort of a staking plan the POT is looking very rosey but a run of outs sure brings you back to reality quick smart.

I've been away for the last 6 weeks touring down around victoria and the great ocean road and whilst I was still able to do my sectional time analysis and black book entries I didnt have access to watch the replays like I do at home here. Watching replays I find is very helpfull as it can influence your decision as to the merits of times run.
