    i am not that experienced and certainly dont have the cashflow to start betting £20k on anything!! i dont even know a book that would allow such an amount. I have bet several thousand at pinny before but have either hit a limit or they have changed a line. I am interested to know who takes such monster bets from you and which deposit method you use for moving such vast sums.

    Also

    When you loose start back a step 1 with another £100 deposit.
    Surely, if you had built up a bankroll to over £6.5k by staking the entire balance going back to £100 isnt necessarily going to make anyone think that you are a mug punter who is simply slowly imcrementing their betting stakes?

    Just a quick update on this as I have now tried it in practice. Sadly I seem to have been far too good at predicting winners (probably because I always went for lowish odds fav bets and there were no upsets). I managed to make 11 winning bets on the trot and got the book up to over 10K from a less than 1K start (what I already had in the book). At that point I took that view that was too much money to hold at any one book and withdraw it all - so not been able to check yet how badly limited this has left me.

    I didn't underlay much in the end - at odds of 1.34 the extra gain from the underlay didn't really seem worth it.

    Now pondering if its really worth doing again - and why I ever matched the bets in the first place!

    Since than I can not seem to pick winners so if only I had made that final 12th bet I would have been out of there - and thats why I need to remember to always lay off the bets.......

    I am interested to know who takes such monster bets from you and which deposit method you use for moving such vast sums.
    Normally use Moneybooker to move the cash about and a large number of books still let me bet 1000's - at least on big matches.

    If looking for a loser dont be afraid to look around at the different tipping forums and go against a good handicapper
