Hey punting crew. Often read this board but rarely post. Been betting sporadically for just under 12 months, long story short I am a mug (don't hate me!!). I piss in the wind throwing away money on dogs and barely ever win. Thankfully I never use or lose more than $50 at any one time because I am still a poor uni student.
So it was a welcome return to form today when I had $10 left in my account from GF day (won nothing ha) and got on Preferment at $15 today in Race 7 Turnbull Stakes. Never won $150 before as I almost exclusively bet small so i was pretty rapt and withdrew it all before I could lose it.
Later on in the day got the $50 bonus bet from the CrownBet Rewards promotion they were doing, chucked it on a $6 hope second favourite R6 at Northam and that somehow got up too so I won $250 from the free bet. Sorry if this sounds like chump change to some but I am beaming today.
Question is, what's the best way to play with this $250? Obviously I need to turn it over at least once at minimum of $1.50 odds to withdraw it, but because I've never won on a bonus bet before / never had this amount of money in my account before, I'm not sure what's the best tactics. Should I just pretend it's normal money and bet as per usual? Or put the entire $250 on a $1.50 sure thing?
Appreciate any feedback cheers!
