    What is the optimal % of your bankroll for each play?

    I started at 5% but realize now that after this terrible loosing streak, that I need to take a step back and reajust. Any tips?

    I did not I thought I could bet the same amount each play and do well but obviously that didnt work out. Bad management on my part.

    well... it works both ways

    when (if) you start winning the real dollar amount of each bet goes up

    Small on the losers. Lots on the winners. Gl figuring out which is which tho..,

    I know the smart ppl will tell you 5% is too much but if we bring honest i float around that number often. I was being serious with the “what bankroll” comment, cause that it not a certain number, can always reload if have to.

    You not alone pal. Lol. We all been there and most still struggle w it!m

    I been doing this over half my 41 years on this planet and still to this day I’ll be wise and conservative while things going good but when I hit a slump start betting more and more, like total fukkin opposite of what I should be doing. Lol.

    Well this is an open ended question.

    If your bankroll is $500 and you bet 5% on each play you will probably just end up losing it slowly depending on the amount of events you bet.

    5% is too high and plus you’re only supposed to be using 5% of your net worth so actually you’re not betting that much

    LOL many squares in thread


    go to USA books

    you dont need a "bankroll"

    you bet and then you withdraw or you lose

    there is no goddamn "bankroll"

    bankroll is a made up term by bookies and passed along to "sharps" that get paid by the bookies

    you bet a play, you lose


    you bet a play, you win and withdraw


    THATS THE END OF IT






    why would you keep money in an offshore account accruing 0% interest for you and some for them

    bunch of goddamn clowns around here



    yea ill leave 95% of bankroll offshore and money manage it with 5% plays

    LOL

    as far as i know, you pay the same PERCENTAGE when depositing


    so why would you send 10k offshore to bet 5% when you can just send $500 each time and get reload bonuses for each loss?




    THINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    Depends on your goals I suppose. Is your goal to make money? How much per month? Do you know how good you are at what you are betting on? Do you frequently beat the closing line? How many books do you play at? Do you think you are getting a good price?

    For most recreational gamblers... and I would say that is probably 99% of this forum... I would recommend betting as little as possible as long as it makes the game more interesting to you(I assume you watch the games). If you have no interest in watching the games... then you are surely betting to make a profit. If that's the case... you need to figure out exactly how good you are at what your are doing.

    I could be wrong about this but... my feeling is... people that make money at sportsbetting put a lot of time into it. They keep track of their plays. They don't bet with their emotions. They play at multiple sportsbooks. They are real fussy about prices. If you are not doing these things... I suggest betting as little as possible as long as it makes the game more interesting for you.

    this is like going to amusement parks and going to the kiddie rides because the big ones are too tall for your first time, even though you paid to get in




    GO BIG OR GO HOME

    if you are going to gamble, then fukkin gamble








    if you want to bet $5 per game, then take up knitting instead

    CAPICHE?

    That's my whole point, if $5 doesn't give you a thrill... bet more. I think for most people on SBR even $20 gets them more interested in the game. If you're doing $100(or more) a game and you don't even know how good you are... that's just stupid. Unless you can REALLY afford it.

    who are you to say what $5, $20, or $100 is worth to someone else?




    deposit what you want to lose in that game

    if you lose, redeposit

    its that fukkin simple

    only clowns DEPOSIT a full bankroll and bet 5%

    you are really pissing away money at that point by just letting money sit offshore

    dont forget the chances the book(s) fold

    fire 1/3 as a big time bet..............................


    then be prepared for an all in (2/3) next play

    what a clown
































    unless its a new book with a sign up bonus, only deposit what you want to bet on the next game


    its really that simple. why are you giving books interest on your money?

    No doubt. I just have to get it to a certain point before that is true, or rather just lose and put few Hundo back in. I hardly ever put more than Hundo or 2 in offshore at a time. Look to run it up w parlays then if I do i start doing things different.. i ran up baseball few times this year and took decent payout at asb, had ok amount then kinda got killed w some ugly beats Saturday. So today decided to go for it with what was left to hopefully have solid amount for nfl, if it went bad was gonna have to deposit few hundred and start over w football, luckily today worked out well and i got some bullets for this weekend!! Lol

    You dummies 99% of gamblers lose just bet recreational you’re never ever going to win


    You need a minimum of 15 books to have a 1% chance of winning

    You need to get tons of bonuses also nobody here is capable or experienced enough to win

    Blah blah blah. Here the thing dickhead, I certainly don’t claim to be some huge winner but I don’t deposit a lot and every now and then run up for nice cashout so I put hundred or 2 here and there, sometimes cash way more out, sometimes lose but times I do cash it nice to get few grand at once when I never deposit that!!
