      Put the whole $100 on a 12 game parlay and watch the money roll in.

            5$ Maximum. Never bet more than 5% of your total bankroll. Wager A is no more important than Wager B.

            Discipline is one of the 10 golden rules of sports betting.

            My book describes this in detail, chapter 6.

            Bob McClune and myself co-authored this valuable piece of literature.

                    Losing gamblers and bankroll management are what the books hope for.

                          Wait, books want you to have bankroll management?

                            if you are a losing gambler, absolutely.

                            Nothing like maximizing their vice grip advantage over the losing gambler who believes that bankroll management is critical.

                            Here's what the book does not want. The book knows that a gambler with no edge has a better shot going all in than following BR management.

                              it depends on how quickly you can get another $100.

                                  Tut - my post was aimed at the OP...this dude been around long enough to know the answer to this but he is slow so he might not.

                                  But me personally would not bet if I only could spare $100

                                        reading comprehension is not his strong point, as I was telling seaweed why all in is the correct play.

                                                    It seems counterintuitive but given you have no edge betting it's better to go all in with the wagers instead of wagering something fractional. That way it maximizes your possible positive variance vs. the book who is looking to average out to their hold over time. I remember reading some academic gambling (blackjack?) paper about it a long time ago.

                                                      $20 6 team parlay

                                                      you can do this 5 times before going broke.

                                                      u should be able to hit a 6 teamer with 5 chances to do so.

                                                      if u hit a 6 teamer all da sudden u got around $1,000 assuming u are playing -110 lines.

                                                      so after you get $1,000 start going $1,000 on each game.

                                                      This is how u make a splash

We don't all gamble to make a fortune. Part of it is getting off and having fun and all that. And hitting a six teamer is pretty fun
