so you make your profit, what are you doing with then ?? ploughing it all back in or withdrawing it??

and at what point are most people taking a dividend and what percentage.

in the past ive been very flexible about this, but with my trading at the present time i want to put some hard and fast rules in place.

this is where my thinking is,

as soon as balance is greater than 10 times the opening balance, withdraw 60%, and reset stake then start again and repeat as required.

my balance hit 9.9 on Saturday, but has dropped back now to 8 so i would expect to hit 10 times by thursday, as I can guarantee to be around to trade tomorrow evening, work commitment, but might be able to catch the second half of the 7.45pm games.

any thoughts please.

martin

I withdraw all profit over my starting bank, Even if it is just withdrawing a tenner at the end of the day . There is no need for my bank to grow bigger than what it is. Plus it is good to see all those withdrawls on your monthly bank statement . Money on here can have a habit of not being seen as real money so the sooner any profits are safely in the your bank account the better. That's what I do anyway .

This is a good point and knowing when to cash out also needs a lot of discipline. One should set a goal and then stick to it. For example: I won a lot (for me) during Australian Open, meaning I went up from ~150 to 1.100 EUR. I then started to think what probably everybody starts to think if he won some: "If I'm such a wonderboy in betting, then with bigger bankroll I will win more and more and more!!!"

But then I thought: "You know, **** that, you are going to lose some again and better cash some nice money out now and buy something nice"
That's what I did, cashed out 600 so I was back to 500 again. Then I won again during the final and I ended up with roundabout 1.000 EUR again. I cashed out another 500. During the next days I lost my bank, because I became too greedy.

Cashed in 200 a few days ago and now I'm back at ~250. I'm betting since a few years but still make lots of mistakes (anger betting; too high bets for my bank when I'm "100% sure"), so I'm still working on my discipline, but slooooowly I'm getting better I feel.

(tl;dr) Set yourself a limit and then cash out when you reach it.

I do exactly the same as scara manga these days.  I have a set sized bank, plus a daily betting amount.  I withdrawn everything above that, usually daily.  It probably only averages 30 a day which adds up over time.

I used to build up my bank and never withdrew.  Looked great having big bucks in my account.  Until I had a loss and wanted the big bank back immediately.  I then would over staked leading to wipeout and another deposit.

I appreciate others will manage big banks better than I used to, but I find a limited bank and regular withdrawals works better for me and allows me to enjoy betting whilst making modest profits.

i have a bank of 1,000 and try to win £100 per day and withdraw it every day. Having a target is important for me.

That's exactly what I plan: Back to 1.000 and then withdraw everytime i reach 1.100.
