So 1000 is 100 liability, 1500 is 150 liability, etc. Happyhttps://community.betfair.com/general_betting/go/thread/view/94082/28075593/betting-strategy-for-small-punters?post_id=504003153#504003153Why don't you use a smaller % of your bank but just use that percentage no matter where the bank is at.Going on your 10% just adjust you stake to suit 10(x)% of your given bank on each day.

I lay away teams if i consider it a value lay. This is based on a combination of stats, form, head to head, tips and my own gut feeling as a football fan. Not very mechanical but it works for me.
