What was the major reason the White Army lost the Russian Civil War to the Red Army?

I am not a historian on Russia, but I recall hearing that the White Army may have eben as much as five times larger than the Red Army. They were also dedicated and filled with hatred for the illegitimate Bolshevik government.

The Bolsheviks (the Reds) were better organised – Trotsky was a brilliant administrator and put the Red Army together.
The Bolsheviks were concentrated in the Moscow / Petrograd heartland of Russia, so their support was urban and concentrated in a small, but (relatively) densely packed area.
The Bolsheviks had, because of the concentration in cities, better communications.
The Whites were never a unified military force, they were often as opposed to each other as they were to the Bolsheviks.
Bolshevik agitation and propaganda in the Tsarist Army had led many soldiers to join the party, the Whites were often not military trained.
The Bolsheviks had more capable commanders, capable of working with each other for strategic ends.
In areas the Whites captured they acted as badly as the Reds, so local populations turned against them.
