Shaun, you are right of course though I would say 1% MAXIMUM, on the level stakes basis, at your regular $1000 + bets, BUT I would also suggest (running along side) a very aggresive 2nd bank (on the same selections) of say 1/5 of the bank NEVER decreasing, always starting from scratch again when there is insufficient funds to place the 5th bet (after a losing run of 4), this 2nd bank could be as low as say $50 ($10 bets) this makes for some "FUN" when you have a good run of winners, (as you know they always seem to come in batches) I find this adds some "excitement" into the project, but at the same time limits the possible losses of such an aggresive scheme!

PS What did you think of "Bunnings"?
