    What size is the ideal bankroll?
    Let's say you expect to win around $2k per year, what kind of bank of bankroll do you need.

        It feels like your question is incomplete.

        We need more information.

        Bet size, volume, etc.

          $50-100 wagers could easily put you up 20-40 units in a year.

            $100 bet size. I usually bet 2-3 a day.

            I found this spreadsheet to help me this year

            Australia Sports Betting offers an Excel betting tracker spreadsheet that is free to download. Three versions of the spreadsheet are available: basic, standard and advanced. All three versions are free. Users of OpenOffice should use the OpenOffice Calc version of the spreadsheet. A Google Sheets betting tracker is also available. The worksheet tracks your betting…


            Great spreadsheet.

                  From a true grinding standpoint this could be considered correct.

                  Betting 2% of the starting bankroll, that's 40 per bet, and hitting 55% of your bets at -110 odds you could double a bankroll in 1000 plays.

                  You will likely get better prices in this day and age of discount books but the real questions are can you generate 1000 plays in a year and more importantly, can you hit 55% of those plays?

                    That's like asking a woman what's the ideal penis size.

                          Seaweed, is that true? How? Was it just a lucky streak or are you a good bettor in general?

                                Pavy knocks a grand slam





                                With this one exception, I had a nurse I work with refuse to sleep with me because I was too big, she said "no woman likes to be fukked senseless with a coke can"



                                Can't make some of this shit up Pavers

                                Bigger the better, until it's too big

                                Not sure this applies to bankrolls, Never known anyone to just play the small lotteries

                                    If you are not a winning player, like 95% of people, the ideal bankroll is zero. Triple that if you think you can win long term, but your results are still not there.
