    win more than you lose

    don't bet more than 2% of your bankroll on one play

    All Ins?

    It is the only way although you will go book every time doing it long term

    Son there is no way but be disciplined and bet about 2% of that per bet

    $2500 bankroll.

    Risk $250 per play.

    $500 if you're aggressive.

    But there shouldn't be a rush .. There will always be sports to wager on. How old are you?

    If you were the sportsbook wouldn't you be more inclined to have the person wagering on your lines be extra aggressive?

    10% per play is way too much, unless you only wager when you have a big edge, which doesn't happen very often.

    im 24 .. im really exited to have that much money in there but i want to get it higherr .. its always a good idea to see how peoples have done it before doing anything stupid ... To get to 2500$ with 150 in only 1 month you have to be crazzy ... i hate having to go check for bets and look at my sportbook bankroll every 2 min... the 2% plan sounds good

    Withdrawal 2k now and play off the five hundo. All it takes is one loss and you will go tilt and lose everything.

    Either (1) bet two more all in's or (2) do the 2% rule.
    If your goal is to make 10,000 from 2500 then doing two more all-in's (1) is the way to go. But one loss puts you back at 0
    If you want to learn how to be a winning bettor LONG-TERM, then (2) is the way to go
    Anyone can get lucky and double up a few times, but if you want to continue to do this (and we all know that there's no way to cash that 10,000 and walk away and never do it again) then be smart and do your homework and look for edges and bets that work for you.
    (2) is the way to go.

    If you are betting 5% of your bankroll, and expect to win at 55%, your return rate will be:
    6.25 a bet (-110 lines)
    9.23 a bet (-105 lines)


    125*(100/line)*(win%)-125*(1-win%)



    Someone check my math.

    Its harder then people think,patience is a virtue in Gambling more then anything,betting small for months without getting frustrated takes a ton of restraint,especially if your on a roll.


    In my opinion nothing we say will help you,its all just words.

    some guys have a bankroll strategy and get a rush off slow and steady, grinding out profits daily

    others have no strategy and get their rush on betting way over their heads, sweating out plays, and reloading constantly.

    sounds like you're in the second scenario, and you will go broke that way. it's inevitable

    Listen to smoke cash out the 2k and do whatever you want with the 500 you will fill better if you have 2k on the way and go all in with your 500 and if you loose you still got 2k coming honestly if your trying to just run up to get to that 10k mark you'll probably go bust many times over on the way and if you do reach it will probably have re loaded thousands on the way there....and what happens if you get to 10k guaranteed you will be greedy for more it never ends set realistic expectations and enjoy some cash outs

    Fadikro listen to wise words of this man.

    Happened to all of us too many times... ROI of 1600% on starting bankroll of $150 either means you have tomorrows newspaper with final scores or youve been on a really hot streak. This streak wont last forever and if you continue betting like you did you eventually will go cold and lose all your bankroll. Its just the nature of gambling.
