Cracked it / balance

Hi Everyone

Been trading on here a while now dipping in and out and being very strict following certain rules to strategies. Strike rate is now up and consistant to low stakes and have found that in times gone by i would have one big losing trade which would eradicate all previous winnings this is now reduced to a minimum aswell! so i'm looking at finally increasing my stakes, i've tried this earlier and found i got stuck as i didn't have enough in my betfair account and thus cost my money. My question is what is a good ratio to stakes to have in the betfair account is 100:1 or should it be more?

Thanks for your help guys!

I use the 2% rule often banded about with regard to stock trading which dictates that you should never risk more that 2% of bank in any given trade. Depending on when you would cut or stop out a trade determines your stakes ie larger stake tighter stop smaller stake longer stop.
