The most important thing when it comes to betting in general, is you set up your bank.

That in turn is impacted by most new players having very limited capital and needing to BUILD a bank up.

But let’s deal with both scenarios and look first at an ideal professional way to structure your betting capital.

First you breakdown your entire capital, into 4 equal blocks

This way, you will only ever risk 25% of your entire bankroll and protect the rest, if you hit a very bad losing streak.

Example: You have £400 Bank and split into 4 blocks of £100

Now, you start to play the selections or strategies here, with your first block of £100
As soon as your first block of 100 is doubled, add it back to your total capital.
Now you will have £500 and you then break it again, into 4 blocks of £125.

This way you will raise your betting unit (point value) and make more money.

When you have doubled your first block again, start the same process.

You will now have £625 to go into your 4 block set up.

So 4 blocks of 156.25 and so on.

Worst Case

If you experience a long losing run ( and we don’t expect it to happen here) and you lose all your first block of £100 (£400 start) you will have £300 and you simply reverse the procedure to set up with 4 blocks of £75.

These foundations of building your capital are very important and very powerful.

You have to think the medium to long game, not just the short one.

Use this concept to build a solid bankroll, start small and grow your capital.

The lessons learned in that growth will take you from a novice player to a good player.

From a good player to a semi- professional and then to a full professional player.

Starting Off Small
If you start off with £100 say, that is 4 blocks of 25 then we would work from a £2 minimum stake and effectively have about 12pts to play with. Its’ slow going, but perfectly possible to keep with the 4 block principle even with £100.

I would estimate that by the beginning of the flat season next Spring, you would have around £1,000 in your bank by using this method and even at such low opening stakes.

In bread and butter betting, method and discipline are absolutely essential.
