How much do I bet on outrights and match bets?
Well I won't give you a specific answer (that would be telling)

Match Bets - most profitable area, aim at hitting 70-75% (72 holes only) but I average only about 3 a week (it's not the same as capping football,baketball etc where you have to beat the handicap)How much to stake is difficult I bet the same on each one, and bet more than I do on the outrights as it provides a steadier income

Outright bets - I only bet where I feel I get value, so in some tournaments it might be 5 selections in others just 1.
In this weeks Singapore Masters I have backed 5 players at what I considered value prices where all I need is to get one placed to win. This is where you adjust your staking

Wi 50-1 ew 5 points ew
Jaidee 66-1 ew 4 points ew
Bateman 100-1 ew 2.5 points ew
Rosales 125-1 ew 2 points ew
Mamat 150-1 ew 1.75 points ew
Total Staked = 30.5

Therefore if 1 is placed I win if more then happy hols

I know some people will disagree with me on varying the stakes but it is what I feel more comfortable doing

Cheers Ian, just what I was after.
Didn't want to know how much; that's your business only, Issue popped up on the NCAAB forum a while back; I don't care if anyone's a $10 or dime player as long as they can provide logical, insightful plays and post results to back them up.
Hope the head's OK - that's what comes from drinking warm beer

Looking forward to another enjoyable 4 days golfing.
