How many push harder when up?

Question

I know I use sound principles in picking games, but when it comes to money management I go against what everybody else says. What I do is plan stupid, but the thing is I've had a ton of success so I keep doing it. Does anybody else do something similar to this, if so have you experienced success?

Bet small amounts, maybe some small parlays. Nothing over $100 out of pocket, maybe $200 a week average.

Sometimes it takes awhile, but inevitably you hit one for $900, maybe more, or you get on a streak.

Now have this $900 and rather then clinching up I attack harder, but more selectively. I'm not scared of going all in at this point to get to $1800. Other times I might just go $500 a game. As it grows I get more aggressive, more selective, usually capping at $1000 plays, some can be larger. I usually have withdraw check points as well just so this has an end game.

I've built 10k bankrolls over 5 times the last 3 years doing this. I can't imagine turning that profit from my investment if I stayed at the less then 2% of your bankroll or 5%, or whatever the "right" number is.

I know this is sorta off football but that's what I focus on so I hope we can get some other methods to.

basic rule of gambling. ride the hot streaks and press, minimize the cold ones and play standard.

unless you can hit 60% on a reg basis..i think this is the best way to go. many people press hard when they are down, and if they get above the check up then coast in to make sure they get paid...its like blackjack, or craps..when you build up some string, drop the muthafuckin hammer.
