but then again 2% of 1000 is 20 quid, so repeat that many times a day and maybe you dont need a large bank

It does mean you'll never run out of money.
Report Darlo Bantam January 2, 2013 8:29 PM GMT
If you win 2% each bet, you'd double your bank in just 36 bets.
Report Mr.Angry January 2, 2013 8:36 PM GMT
And if you lose 2% each bet?
Report Punting for Profit January 2, 2013 8:52 PM GMT
you won't win every bet and you won't lose every bet,but as MR A said you will never run out of money

Depends what he's risking to win 2%.

Two people have said that you will never run out of money trying to win 2% of the bank.  Do you two guys actually understand the premise ?  Can you tell me why you will never run out of money ?
Report sweetchildofmine January 3, 2013 11:04 PM GMT
well you would somewhere down the line but work it out, imagine a 1000 bank and staking 2%everytime, in theory it should never exhaust

say for example you get down to a tenner

10.00=20 pence risked
9.80=19pence risked

etc etc it would take hundreds of losers with say a 1k bank to blow it all

The premise is to win 2%, not stake 2%.  How about putting your whole bank on a 1.02 shot, only to see it lose.
Report sweetchildofmine January 3, 2013 11:10 PM GMT
no the o.p clearly states its staking 2%

Sounds a bit tedious. I'd rather win 10,000% every now and then Laugh
