I have been going over a few figures and would like some input from members.

These are my current stats.
Outlay 34 Units
Return 47.42 Units
Profit 13.42 Units
SR 32.35%
POT 39.47%
AV/Odds $4.31

Early days but figures are ok, my issue is when i bring a new horse in to the stable i allocate 19 units to be bet on the runner, i did this so i wouldn't bring in more runners than my bank could handle.

The thing is am i going to need all those units for each runner, the answer i am getting from the figures and the fact the research i have done shows NO

If i convert the runs in to a percentage of bet that i would have on runners using a normal betting pattern say 2% this would be a total of 14% over 7 runs, if i convert the units to percentage this would be 19%

Looking at the average starts after a spell that i get a win would be about 4 or 5 using my units allocation this would be about 6% to 9%

So if you follow what i have just said the question would be, should i be worried about my bank being able to cover each runner going all the way to 19 units bet or should i just use a percentage of bank for each unit and let the turn over maintain the bank?

I think "don't worry". What you are talking about is the worst case scenario. The longer you test this on paper, the more you will be able to avoid worst case scenario and the more you may come to realise that 19 units are never reached.

Does that help? Anyone else?

I would agree getting to 19 units on most runners is unlikely.

if you can give me the following figures:

1. the number of bets you have had.

2. units outlayed ( have all the bets been for a single unit or have some progressed up?)

3. Total return ( including stake).

if you are showing a profit @ level stakes i.e. sames number of units for every bet, you don't need to allocate 19 units to each runner, you just need sufficient bank to cover the inevitable run of outs.
