Dude you totally just described my whole situation through the last 11 months. Thank you for reading the entire thread and forming an educated & accurate post. I agree with you 100% of what you just shared, but acting on this wisdom may be my falter. I'm impatient with my winning, but very patient on my selections as I bet. I have a bit of a dilemma in regards of my total bankroll and proper bet size. It's my first year as a professional ....
Good job over the last year Jerk. Horseplayer is pretty much right on the nose. That money management is very important for the long haul. Get a bankroll you can preserve and draw from.
I don't think you need to save up to get back into sports. If you can work the 9-5 and still have time to bet or trade, then bet smaller, much smaller. It sounds like you just went all-in. Why, because it's only $2500 left?
With a $2500 bankroll, your bet should be closer to the $50...You get the point.
I don't know anything about why you choose a bet, but a range of 1-5 thousand sounds absurd. What you are essentially saying is some bets are 5 times worth risk than others. If that's the case, why make the others? In the end only the large bets will count.
It sound like you got hot for awhile, raised you bets, then went on a cold run.
To be constructive, I have to say that before jumping back into the game, makes sure you understand the ramifications of jiggling your bet size and that you can maintain the discipline to bet correctly.
Without these elements, you are destined to a cycle of birthing and dying bankrolls.
Good Luck.
