How long can YOU be happy and content betting $10-20 per game ?
You know who you are...
Anyone gone a whole sports season betting that amount only ??

I wish I could stay at $20 a game. Problem is the bet needs to get bigger to get the same rush

the amount that one bets and their happiness has little to no correlation
recreational bettors that wager small for fun might be happier than pros that bet big..

easy if your broke
If you have $100 bankroll then $10 is big money and still gives you the drug feel

you can be happy betting that much until your able to/want to make your bankroll bigger, and then you can adjust your units accordingly

Reminds me when I go to an Indian Casino and see dozens of morons playing BJ at &5/hamd with a .50 ante
The house already has an edge and they're giving them 10% extra just for the privilege of playing

I traveled to India Once. Guys who bet $10 to $25 USD are considered high rollers.

See, that's how most people think and it's wrong. It's because the only thing you consider juice is the vig, but there are other forms of juice that certainly come into play in the bigger picture ie payout fees. If you're a $10 bettor, lets be real, that $100 cashout fee is gonna hurt a lot worse when you're trying to cash out $500 and I'm paying $100 on $5000

Depends if you're playing for fun or playing to make money.
People that been gambling seriously for 10+ years and been watching sports closely their whole lives probably aiming for the latter. Looking for edges they have over everyone else basically.
Same thing as anything in life. You have a skill. You work on that skill forever to try and find an edge in the market. To try and make money.

people betting low amounts are probably just doing this for fun, and arent going to be depositing/withdrawling as much as those betting 100+ a game. so i dont think the fees really effect it that much

Why in christ would a 500 withdraw cost 100? It's free once a month at 5d and assume every other place that isn't shit.

Recreational for me. Have been "in the game" before, and it didn't turn out good at all. Lucky my wife didn't leave me when I lost the car payment, house payment, and electric bill all in one weekend.

Tough to stay disciplined, start limiting your bets and you go on a run and you're not happy you're winning, instead you're pissed because you pussed out and lowered your unit size.

Usually have around 5k bankroll try and do 100 per game but then I get bored I'm always searching for that magical number and never quite get there few years back it was always to make 10k once I did that it went up....I'm a very undisciplined gambler and will be the first to admit it and it kills me because I know if I were disciplined I'm a winning gambler period but I just can't seem to do it.....now if someone is betting 5-10 whatever per game and there content oh well my opinion on sports betting should never go to as far as to care or even tell someone else what to make wagers at...it's frankly none of my business..do I comment on plays? Sure, but that's about it. I think someday I'll just become content and actually stick to a management plan hopefully

Klc honesty is the quickest way to respect. So many Fukin liars in here....I always respect when someone is realistic and honest especially on a gambling forum

I do labby lines, so that's not too far from how much I bet not even a year ago. Lines are bigger now, but not much bigger.
It's slow and un-sexy, but it's a nice chunk of change at the end of the year.

About 3K for lines that go 15-15-15-15. Stop loss at -$1500. Have yet to have the stop loss happen to me in 5 years, thankfully.

Sammy I know a guy that borrowed 10,000 against his house and bet the money line on rams when they lost to new england. His wife wasn't happy.
