    why spread betting confuses me

    So I know that everyone is taught to raise their bets with the true count, so your larger bets have a higher chance of winning. Now here's what I dont understand. If the true count is at 2, you have a .5% advantage (when playing with good rules). In the blunt way how I see things, .5% is still an advantage, so why only do a small bet?

    How I play
    TC less then 1 = min bet 5$
    TC more then one= play 3 spots at $25- $50 per hand
    TC more then 5 = play one hand at $500-1000

    With this playstyle, I usually seem like a high roller ( at least in oregon) and have pretty consistent betting. Is something wrong with placing high bets with small advantages as well?
