    If others laugh at you they probably bet less

    Be PROUD

      Sometimes you got to. I have made $10 deposits to books before and turned it into $10,000. It's better losing a $10 deposit than a $5000 deposit. Always start small and build it up.

              I bet a $100 per game on each book and still feel like a small fish.. All good as long as you win more then lose... Even $10 wins can ad up over time..

                Never understood why anyone cared what someone else bet? It's all relative, times in my life I've had more so bet more, other times 20 was a lot so that was fine with me. The amount I'm wagering has never much changed what I like about it.

                  Multiply bankroll by 0.02 for every 1 unit bet

                  Winners will be ok

                    I've bet as low as 50 cents and as much as 5 k on games. Lower you bet the better your picks are usually

                            Started with a bankroll of 1000 and only bet 20 per game. Gotta start somewhere.

                                Bet what you can afford to lose. Back in my really degenerate years if the bet wasn't $500 or more it didn't get me interested. Unfortunately thetbstategy didn't work out so well. Took. A year off went to some Ga Meetings got some perspective and now gambling is fun again. Like you guys can range from $50 on up. Just depends. Key is to not lose control which is so easy to do

                                  I like making min bets early in a season till you figure out what's going on in a league. So many guys blow their wad in week 1 or 2 in the NFL, you see it every year. Even in week 3 and 4 there's adjustments being made by good teams to righten the ship. Week 1 is a mine field in the NFL.

                                        if you don't have an advantage then bet as small as you can where it's still fun/interesting (how exciting can a $1 bet really be?)

                                        if you have an advantage then bet bigger

                                        the trick is knowing when you have an advantage

                                          If you're a long term loser even $1 bet is one dollar too many. Only a clown bets $500 a game only to finish the year 20 grand in the hole.

                                              A lot of people assume that if a person is making a large wager that person knows something. Iv'e seen sharp guys betting $10-$20 a game and complete morons betting 10's of thousands of dollars. Bet what you feel comfortable with doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

                                                I think that why you see kids coming on here lying bout their bet sizes cause for some reason they think betting more equals credibility which we know is obviously retarded.

                                                    Only time I bet $10 or less is if im in Reno or Vegas. My local has a minimum $25 for parlay $50 straight.

                                                        I've learned smaller bets don't hurt as much when you lose so keep most of my bets small.
