Is there such a thing as a psychological barrier when building your bank?

The weather is limiting opportunities.

Be patient and don't try to force the issue.

Definetly!

definitely

all things being equal - you have an edge etc. handling progressively larger amounts scrambles your judgement.

not least of which is overstaking because you are on a high

open a spreadsheet and define your staking plan alongside your daily win / lose column. Adjust accordingly. Keep it simple and stick to it.

I believe the barrier that exists has to do with having a financial target-based approach. Using your example, you may have plateaued around the £390 mark, but you have to look at your exit points and/or general mentality when betting/trading; are you remaining in the market longer than you would ordinarily because your current green will take you past £400? Are the methods you have used to get from £200 to £390 being applied still or are you hanging in the market to creep over the mythical ceiling you have set yourself?

How much was your ''fun bank'' to start with ?

Every time you get to £350 take £150 out...

I won a couple of grand. Started again with £80.00
I bet for fun, recreation call it what u want. I am not a winner its a hobby that i try to make pay and keep me occupied.
So to reach 4 figures again would be fantastic

no.

Been doing this for over 5 years make about £10000+ a year but find it impossible to building a large balance can't keep a balance over £200 for long for some reason once try and build it up i start losing. so now i withdraw everything i make over £200 and let that accumulate in the bank trying to make big amounts by building my balance just doesn't work for me so just work of £200.

From 80 up to near 400, then back to 200 seems pretty good to me, overall.

just try and go a few hours, then days then a week without refreshing your balance..

Unfortunately, due to some genius at betfair, it refreshes automatically (sometimes) now.

^^^^^^^^^^
Yeah i noticed that.

Anyway I have broke the £400 tonight.
£3.49 f/gs on Tuncay
+ backed 3-3 and layed off.

These might also be the reasons why I lose from time to time

:D

Bank now £481.36
I might get the hang of this yet

you can hide your balance so u dont have to see it - pop back in in a couple of weeks and 700+ sitting there!!!

I've never made four figures in my life. Up to £920 atm

Took me weeks to hit a grand defo some kind of barrier.I found cutting my stakes right back worked.Just creep past the mark. . . .

I cannot get above £400. No matter how hard I try I get to £390 or so then lose.
I've dipped to below £200 on a couple of occassions, but built back up fairly easily.
================================================

I was like that 2 years ago. You will get over the hurdle, just don't try pushing too hard.

thats what my missus says jailer.

You are touching on an area which is crucially important in making profits on here. You are doing Ok keep up the self analysis. Good luck.
