It actually is irrelevant UB. The time to up the ante is when you know you have a winning system.

UB.

I don't think I've mentioned it but I often increase the size of the bet after striking a loser if I'm at my computer. I've got no method to the size of the increase, just a gut feeling.

On Friday the method lost over $600 but with increased laying I won about $300, however it's nerve-racking, and yesterday I lost over $100 but ended up over $100 in profit. I have to tell myself that after about 3,000 selections the method is showing a healthy profit with a 98% strike rate, so that I don't feel too bad when increasing the bet size. Of course chasing losers could be a method-killer.

It might be small in the long term, but pschologically I find it better to do it this way. Of course as you said if you do not have a winning system then there is no point uping the ante.

Yes, I understand your point UB.
