aliando Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 There's a number of us trying to maximise returns from minimal odds and, after just improving my starting bank by about 15% on a 48 match winning run, it's made me question how we bank and when, to maximise returns. I'm aware the best indicator would be hindsight but I can't find this on eBay or amazon, so it's down to educated guesses! :lol Mods: hope this thread is ok here as it targets the glory hunters over general punters :ok Given my decent run and pitiful return, I'm probably not getting it quite right :lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JonnyTic Posted March 30, 2013 Share Posted March 30, 2013 Re: Low odds betting: when to bank and how much? I think it depends on your personal financial situation. I bank when I think "I'd have brown underwear if this was still 0-0 after 89 minutes." For me that's not to much (I'm a student), but I guess it's a good way to see when to bank.

Skittle Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Re: Low odds betting: when to bank and how much? It's got to be an individual thing surely. The 'get rich quick' merchants find losing bets more easily in their rush, they also seem not to mind losing money which is worrying as it can easily develop into a bad habit of denial. It doesn't pay to be in a hurry. If it's ok to only lose 10% of your income when you earn £100 a week it's only a tenner. When you earn £500 a week is it still ok to only lose 10%? It's still the same 10%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aliando Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 It's a good point - should the focus be on how to maximise profit or minimise loss? Agreed, it's an individual choice. For me, I want to win my original stake back, as a minimum, so when I hit that bad bet, I know I can start again. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anaconda69 Posted March 31, 2013 Share Posted March 31, 2013 Re: Low odds betting: when to bank and how much? Double up bank quarter continue with three quarters to next double that's what im doing at the moment on one goal. If cashout required start at initial stake Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliando Posted March 31, 2013 Author Share Posted March 31, 2013 Excuse my ignorance' date=' but can you please explain what you mean by 'bank'?[/quote'] I'm using it to define the amounts that we take out of the betting amount to have as a final return. With all-in bets, you're gonna lose at some point - in order to make any profit, you need to cash out all or part of your winnings at some stage. I tend to use the term bank as it's money that's technically safe from a losing bet (although Cyprus may have redefined the term "safe" in banking :lol). Hope that makes some sense :ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
