What is the best bankroll management in Your mind ??

[ghislaine]

Hey guys,
cappers, tailers and all-around funny guys and hoops masters,
would love to hear Your thoughts on this...

I come from a day trading background and when I started betting used Labby with all my bets. I also tried progressive betting i.e. Martingale. But all this time I have flat bet all wagers, making all bets equal size 1 unit.

I am now starting to have second thoughts about this, as when I hit a losing streak, rebuilding the bank can take quite a while, and having been at this for 2 years now, I already begin to see wich bets are more valuable.

I am not saying I can cap at all yet - being a girl and everything haha - but see that the big shots use different unit sizes and make good money betting bigger on some games.
Namely Maddhatter, Ayo, Sonny, Buck and Bean ofcourse, LTA, AdaBarber and rest !!


What do You suggest ?? I really think I might leave flat betting behind, as the
juice is also eating at my profits with it, last night went 3-2 to a profit of 0.1 units !!

Thanks so much for all You do and I love this forum.

Just HELP ME ROB THE BOOKIES guys !!

(hopefully others find this discussion useful as well)

I would suggest 1 unit as your base bet and not going above 5 units on any. A 5 unit bet should be a rarity with most of the bets being between 1 and 3 units.


Some people have large units by their YTD results, but if you look at their bets they are all 20 unit bets and up. In other words, it is all relative. A person who never bets below 20* and is up 100 units is the same as a person betting 1* and is up 5 units. Just because you see a big # by the units doesn't always tell the whole story. I am not saying that to take away anything from anyone around here. I am just saying that if someone never bets below 20* then that 20* is the same as 1* in my book. It just looks better when you see the 20* bet and they are up 100* on the season.

Just be careful when using different unit sizes. It is easy to get on a good (or bad) run and start increasing your bets, or start chasing and before you know it you have blown most of your bank roll. Flat betting does help avoid this, IMO.

good luck
