I understand how money management works, however I think there are some advantages to having a low balance in any sportsbook. Although thanks to SBR (and quality assurance of premiere books) the possibility of a book defaulting on your balance is very low, there still is a chance. This is not the main reason I'd prefer a replentishable bankroll. Mainly, I'd like to invest the minimum amount possible as I am a recent college grad that has at least 16 months until my career starts.

Is there anything wrong with only having 25% of my roll in a sportsbook, and if that is lost, then simply replentish it and adjust my unit size afterwards? Seems to me like I will not only reap the benefits of deposit bonus's, but also earn a greater ROI provided that I don't need to reload.

Bankroll is not the same thing as money in sportsbooks.

I try and ensure I keep the minimum amount required to place the likely wagers for the next week in any one book.

There's no compelling reason to keep a balance in a book if you're treating it like a bank. The reason most keep the entire balances online is because they are utilizing their entire bankroll (or the majority of it) on a consistent basis. There's also the argument that it could be used to conceal funds if that's your thing but if you're just a minor leaguer betting a couple of games a week replenishing it if you go bust is a fine strategy (especially if the loss of money would negatively affect you financially/mentally). If you're from the USA though it may be a problem strategy however due to processor issues if you're looking to play online.

Well, your bankroll is really EVERYTHING you have that you earmarked for betting only, so that would be a combination of your sportsbook balance (hopefully balanceS) and the earmarked money you have in your bank or wherever waiting to be deposited. Whether you use Kelly or a flat percentage, the percentage per bet should be based on the entire bankroll (assuming deposits are quick and easy for you).
