Moeee, been away for a few days, i start each year with a $1,000 bank and bet up to $100 a week and its manly football on the weekends, no more betting on sports that i dont know [in the past i would just back the favourite - stupid hey!]or mid week, now i only bet online -no more race meetings or TAB's - their killers, if my bank goes down i reduce my bets,and if i win i still bet normally, if i lost my bank [AGGHHH]thats it! no more bets and no top ups! , but luckily that hasnt happened yet and at the end of the year i collect any winnings and start again the next year.

Mo, just bet what ever you can afford to bet with, doesnt matter if its only $2 or $5 bets, i do sometimes and i'm enjoying the punt more nowdays, as in the past the bigger bets made me feel like like a real know itall and i was embarrased putting little bets on in the TAB, not any more , just a click of a button .

The most important thing for me was that i was fed up with losing a lot of the time, so i changed the way i bet.

Best of luck mate.
