    What was your first deposit?

    What was everyone's first deposit amount? Looking to start up on Bodog and was wondering what everyone started up with.

    I think I might do $50 and see how things go.. Adjust if I need to, etc...

    Yeah definitely, I foolishly and emotionally busted through $20 in two days lol. But, I've set up restrictions now.

    Yeah, I was thinking of just a few a day, maybe about $5 max on them, try to get a few wins. Then, hopefully, as I start getting money and more experience, I'll start to wager more.

    Started with $200 in Bovada. Was hovering around that amount for awhile, then lost it all on an NFL sunday. Re-upped with them for $100, went on a nice run and got up to $330, but then lost that all as well.

    Money Management is absolutely key. If you are flat betting bet no more then 3% of you roll... put no more then 10% at risk at any time. If you are running chases i would recommend a half % as your unit size. If you cannot manage your money properly you will not succeed. Does matter how good you are at picking. Hence the stories of "I won all this money but then lost it a week later"

    3% of a $50 deposit is only a $1.50 though.

    (Guys, I killed it this weekend and went 20-0! Made a whole thirty dollars, lol)

    100 bucks on the day of the Colts/Bears Super Bowl. It was BetUs I believe. This was before I knew about SBR, so I didn't know any better.
