However, whenever I think of increasing the size of the standard bet I get cold feet, but that may soon change...maybe not.

There are many and varied ways of increasing your bets (if you want to and feel comfortable doing it).

A few are:
- Using a percentage of your bank - maybe changing it daily or per race.
- Doubling your bank and then raising the bet but not by double - slowly reduce the % of bank your risking while, at the same time, increasing your stakes.

There's many more.
