    Betting on credit and bankroll management question

    My scenario: $1000 balance. Profit/Losses paid out weekly and balance resets to $1000 for the upcoming week. My goal to to make a profit every week wether it is $10 or $300. My question is: What would be the best plan of attack to ensure I end up a winner week in and week out? Should I be flat betting, bet a general 1-3% of a available roll, or use a system of some sorts?

    Any suggestion would be great appreciated.

    Thank you!

    This expectation is not realistic. Maintain a cash bankroll equivalent to your available credit. Bet 2% of bank if you can't calculate/quantify your edge.

    Bet to win $10 on one game the first day of the week. If it win, you're good for the week. If it loses, bet the next game to win back your losses + $10. If it wins, you're good. If it loses, bet the next game to back all your losses from those first two games + $10. Keep doing that all week. Eventually you will get crushed, but you could go for a lot of weeks before that happens.

    Bet $10 per game. If you like a game a lot, bet $20. If you get up $500 on $10-$20 bets, start increasing your bets. If you get down $500, quit. Don't try to get back to even. When it looks like it is over, it is.

    whole 1K on the first bet....you lose that's your week......pay it off and move on.....you win....don't drop your bet size and try for a small streak.....the key here is not buying in again for the week if you lose swipe 1.....

    You can't guarantee yourself profits over certain time ranges. Imagine if you wanted a guaranteed profit every 6 hours? In major sports, you'll be a multi-millionaire if you can pick 55% and yet you'll have tons of losing weeks.

    If you have an edge, which I doubt you do or you'd be able to answer this question yourself, then the Kelly calculator can tell you how much to wager. That's all that matters, not profit benchmarks you invent for yourself.

    No guarantee on profits. You will win... You will lose... How you handle both is half the battle. I've buried myself both ways.
