You couldn't be more wrong me thinks. I only ever bet one runner per race, and it's always the fave. This is all I do to make a quid and one of the most important things in my book is to come up with a system that isn't mind numbing. Keep it simple is a great idea.

What Lighthuman says about the bank build up is fundamental to betting largish sums per race. If it's money you've earned from the punt then as the bank grows so do the wagers and yet there is no stress. If it were outside money put in then that's just gambling.....hard to win long term at gambling.
