bankroll management question

[Mrhighlimits31]

is betting 5 percent of your bankroll to much money on a play. i get that making a 5 percent wager you feel has a bigger winning edge than most plays but in theory is it to much......

imo if your a normal bettor 1-3 percent seems like the normal fix u would need if u have under 1000.00 in your roll i can see i 50.00 play here or there....esp if more funds are avalable later down the rode....

if your in the 10,000 range and u dont have the funds to cover your losses than is 500.00 which is 5 percent a good idea.

if your in the 100k club and using a 401k or retirement account or you simply saved or came into money some way some how and cant put it back i cant ever see one betting 5 percent on a play. 5k is way to much on a 100k bankroll......to much risk......


who wants to chime in instead of talking shit and saying the dumb shit on here and actually put a good thought process into this.

5 percent seems way to much in reality to any one who is doing this more than fun....thats my thoughts.

big timers have big balls

if you cant bet 5% well you cant be a big timer

[TheMoneyShot]

mrhighlimits... 5% is chump change for you. I expected at least 10% each play

[Mrhighlimits31]

big timers meaning who how much that is subjective of what a big timer is.....

jordan barkey floyd 50 cent aint putting 5 percent of there net worth on a game.... no way....

those are the big timers i think of when it comes to betting sports. guys who lay 100k in a blink of an eye....but net worth is way over 10 million...if it isnt there on the celtics walker train to the poor house.

[xKMACKx]

1-2% is the standard.

[Mrhighlimits31]

i bet 5k regulary....but i got over a mill my high roller days are over it seems.....to much risk not enough reward....yet i catch myself chasing a lot of times on 5k wagers.....its all a learning experince.

Good topic, in my opinion if you feel you have an edge than 5% is not too much regardless of your bankroll size.

[Mrhighlimits31]

in reality no one cares about jordan or floyd they have endless amounts of money. jordan has the money printed and floyd can take another fight and get 100 million any day...

barkley has reported losing a million and winning a million and eventually he lost a big chunk of his net worth..... TNT saved him.

50 FILED BANKRUPTCY
WALKER BANKRUPTCY

all wanna be tough guys who did more than they made......

but we are talking about 10 mill plus here

what about the guys who are 50-60 who cash out that 401k and have a problem betting there whole life or guy who comes into some dough and dont wanna be the next bum on street....

but enjoies tossing some cash around the sports games.... 5 percent seems like to much

I disagree 1k you got income coming in you can take shots

100k and u don't got 5k coming in to recover those losses 3-4 in a row and your life is wiped out.....and its just a matter of time before the 5 percent losing streak happens.....it seems to be to much gamble for any roll over 10k Imo.

[Mrhighlimits31]

on that note i dont even have 5 perent in a single stock i own i am in the 2-4 percent and own roughly 30 stocks. having 5 percent in a stock even sounds crazy and that is super long term

[Mrhighlimits31]

the big dogs dont bet a ton of plays either it seems i have prolly made 400 wagers this year alone.....thats a rough guess

[Headsterx]

Does this guy never stop?! Go grab your $5k and place another lost and for the love of God, shut up.

Fair enough, but in your case if you're working with over a million bankroll wise 5K isn't a lot. I hear what you're saying about going on a bad run but at the same time you have to trust yourself and make a bet that is significant enough to increase your roll, again if you feel you have an edge.

I have had 1.6 for over 2 years and I will tell u this and u guys will lol and say I am a loser but I am down prolly 80k in that 2 years betting sports. when I bet big it has higher chance of losing it seems.....this year ive been doing 5k and like 2 or 3 bets that are 10k plus.....

and to add to that note

Amanda nunez patriots as I am a die hard and a few others have gave me this year a slight edge... but we are early on in the year. it all evens out

No doubt the higher the bankroll the % should be lower, I have a friend who plays with $100 daily and bets 11/10 so he puts in 11% a pop, but if he had 10k and put in 1100 a pop he would be betting foolishly bankroll wise.

Not that I didn't notice before but I do recognize the hypocrisy of some of the posters, or posers, up in this site.

[jjgold]

1.5 % approx

no such thing as 1 game having better chance than another

50% every point spread bet

[ChiLLx]

2% for a single standard unit play
4% for very strong two unit plays
So if you have a $5k bankroll your standard unit is $100
Resize unit after every 25% total bankroll swing

I thought so too but some of the punctuations do not match.

[eaglesfan371]

Look at JJ, he bets $100/game and is down 500 units in several years. Sure, 5% of bankroll is fine IF you stick to 5% of bankroll and don’t keep adding on to your bankroll. Redepositing not allowed.

From outside looking in you seem addicted and also a losing player. You keep making 5k bets, that won’t stop, and 1M will go quite quickly.

Many shots in, but ya gotta think he wouldn't be that obvious


however he does seem retarded so ....

[BuckyOne]

I suggest you read about Kelly Criterion. Your current form is pretty important! Just because you bet more money does not mean you have a better chance of winning. If you cannot define your edge and determine how much value you have - why not bet an entertainment size of 1-2%?

[sweethook]

just bet your units and stick to it , gl
