    Money management
    Guys, say I have a $2000 bankroll to start with. What kind of unit size should I go with? 2 unit plays? I've been a recreational gambler but I'd like to get to where I can make money consistently.

    Your max wager on a game should be $100-$150. Standard bet around $50. Most say a unit should be about 2-5% of your BR.

      50 dollars per bet should be one unit. Big games Super Bowl 2 units, NCAA semi's and final 1.5, .all other should be one unit.

                I'd go w/ only 1 and 2x plays (2x are rare) and play $40 units...

                Post up at a reduced juice shop...

                When you get to 2500 go up to $50 and 3k / $60, etc...

                If you fall back down to 2000 reduced the size back.

                $10 per $500 gain, It' 2% and never have more than 10% of you're roll at stake.

                      Rather start with a $500 bankroll and try to build it up. Then take some Shots. GL.

                        thats the worst advice ever.

                        its a big game so bet bigger. Ya you have a bigger edge on those games

                            There are some events that are bet bigger whether you want to believe it or not. Be realistic and not a phony.

                              Im bot arguing that. But if you follow a money mangenent system you dont go bigger just cuz its a big game. My avg bet is 1% a couple 2 and a rare 3 no more than that. If i dont like the line in the ncaa ship monday i wont bet it.
