Got to a point where I'm not comfortable risking when I have dependants now. I took a calculated risk this year which luckily paid off. But people around me personally (other than my Mrs,) would think I'm absolutely nuts if they'd seen the ammount of money I'd been betting, regardless of the returns. I won't risk losing more than 10% of that now.
I will likely place some selective lower stakes bets for chelt next year post Christmas. Which I'll obviously hope to make a profit on. but as much for entertainment purposes.
Nothing beats backing a winner at chelt regardless of the stake.
....absolutely the right approach. I’m chuffed you have priorities in life. Racing as a pastime is great fun, and i’m sure you’ll enjoy bringing those stakes down and having a little interest. Stick to the limits you set, and enjoy looking after those ‘dependents’.
Hope you still Post and share with us with the analysis and knowledge you have.

Congratulations on your ‘life changing’ returns and I hope you and your family enjoy it. If you’re still having to get up in the night you can still delve into the French form book Good luck
