Very good advice from Tenacious Spirit, although I don't think you're going to like the answer from the professional.
The professional will ask you three of four questions and come to a very hasty conclusion.
Basically from what you wrote in your first post, any professional who is worth their salt or has a conscience will tell you to give the punt away.
The flag here is you bet more than you intended more than once.
Gambling had control of you, you were not in control.
I am not a professional, but I have seen it before first hand.
Any other suggestion as to what to bet on or how to bet is secondary to the prime issue.
I would hasten to add, you need to do your own objective self assessment.
I am not telling or suggesting you give up, but I'm suggesting you assess whether you need to for your own sake.
If you put only a certain amount in a TAB account, would you be able to leave it at that regardless of the outcome?
How often have you bet too much?
Have you ever got extra money out, just because you were losing?
How often were you in front and gave it all back plus more?
Only you can answer these questions to yourself honestly.
Please take my response in the good intention it was offered.
As to the bank question, all other issues aside....
Treat it like a business if you have the self discipline to run this type of business.
When your bank doubles, take out half the profit as "owners drawings" and keep going until it doubles again and do the same.
This method works very well providing you can make a profit from racing.
I wish you the very best in the future.
