    Steady consistent bets Joey..

    Theres no way you should be losing your entire BR on one bet. Bad Money management.

    I know it seems silly, but your bankroll is small, so your bets should be small as well. You can't be swinging for the fences every time.. You will find yourself starting a new bankroll more times then not.

    so what would be the range? rem im only looking to bet 4 games a week tops.

    so i cant go making 20 10$ bets. and me making 4 $10 bets be pointless..

    so whats a good medium.

    How much do you want to be bet per week? Multiply that by 17. There is your minimum bankroll for the season.

    I do it the other way around and you've already read my thread about it.

    joey don't listen to these guys who tell you that you need a large bankroll
    and then you just bet a small 2% fraction ad nauseum of that large bankroll.
    that is the vanilla way - fact is if you play vanilla ATS with small units you're
    not going to get running.
    this is what i do.. you take it with a grain of salt.. if you have a $400 bankroll
    capability, and are betting at an offshore where you need to make the deposit,
    don't deposit 400. deposit 50 and win your way to 400. you don't need 400 dollars
    to win gambling sports. you need to make the right bets. i know what it's like to turn
    35 dollar deposit into over $7,000 in two months. you can do it. start small and win
    don't start big and go small.

    Use my parlay system. $400 x 0.02 = $8 a unit. $8 x 10 = $80 that is your profit target. Read more about it. Don't be greedy and be patient.

    Four bets a week with $400 total? I'd say bets should be in the $20-25 range. All straight up mind you, no parlays. That should give you enough to bet for the whole season. If it doesn't, be glad you've only got $400 and call it a day.

    If you win, don't start upping the bets till you hit $1000 bankroll.

    Bet what you feel comfortable with.
    If you like a parlay, bet it.
    But don't commit your whole bankroll in one week. I would say make whatever bets you feel comfortable with up to about 25-30% of your bankroll in a week.
    And do not chase it.

    He's betting his entire bankroll in one weekend. If he wants to make bets that size every weekend he will need a larger bankroll.

    $5 bankroll or $5 million bankroll, you don't go all in on one weekend.

    You'll never win if you're trying to recover losses.
    Just quit now.

    "I want to go allin every week"

    "I want to chase"


    You already know what you need to do but you don't want to.
