Bad credit credit cards

Finally on track to repairing my credit file. I have a capital one secured card to help this. My question is, would it be wise to take out more than one bad credit credit card with lower amount to spend on them? Will this go in my favour or against me?

    Against. The more cards you have, the more desperate you appear and the more chance of falling off the wagon.
