      Bet it all on one play. If you lose you get a portion of your losses back by the implied bonus you'll get on your next deposit.
      More than makes up for juice. Go big or go home.

      If you're going to penetrating gamble, gamble.

        $600 proper risk per play = $6
        more than 3% at risk or 3 plays reduce more

            WRONG. His BR is more than 600 surely.

                                  what should i do?
                                  This depends on the bettor.

                                  For you, when betting $200 a game, what was your starting bankroll?

                                    You have to learn how to roll back.

                                    Last month I took$500 and made it into$65000 in 2 weeks. The reason it went high was I went huge non stop. Then I lost a big chunk and cashed out most of it before I lost it all. I left$10000 in there and lost it in 2 days. It's a great high when you bet big. It's worse when you lose.

                                    Establish a unit and go slow. $50 isn't great I get that but it could be$5 like most of the guys here.

                                      Read intelligent people on the forums and figure it out yourself.

                                        Bet the $50 AND make a deal with someone that if that bet loses they get to kick you in the nuts.

                                        It will be like you're risking $200.

                                            Kind of risky but if I was down to $600 right now I would take FAA to win Cologne 2 at +350(600 to win 2100). He's favored against Schwartzman in the SF & I think he'll get his revenge against Zverev in the F who he lost to last wk. If he gets Sinner instead that could be a problem.

                                              you are saying the $50 doesn't satisfy your gambling desires?

                                              find another hobby that can fill the void of betting small

                                                          it might be a good time to take some months off and look at the whole pic.this is the worst time for a action person, with so many football and nfl going, just dont play parlays to get the quick money.parlays are only a bet when you are up and playing with the book money.never parlay to make money if you are not up.......that a given

                                                            Do a ML parlay Saturday and a couple Sunday for at least +100 odds and double your roll

                                                            perfect weekend to do it with big 10 starting

                                                            you already missed chance to throw in Wisconsin ML tho

                                                            the big ml parlays hit at a higher clip during the first week (for NFL plays) and then later on here in middle of October to end of October is the time to play them

                                                            they find ways to win... like the Eagles yesterday winning by 1

                                                              Martingale system. 5 if it loses, than 10, 20 if it loses etc....

                                                                      if $200 is your new unit size that's fine, don't pressure yourself into thinking you need to go larger. just know that it'll be a lot tougher to keep your current $600 balance alive should you get cold quickly

                                                                      the other thought is whenever you deposit again down the line, go with a $2K starting roll instead and that'll allow you to absorb any major cold streaks should they happen. you'll also feel less stressed to win immediately with your picks

                                                                      for right now, just make each bet risking $200 even and bet at reduced juice -105 whenever possible. knowing you'll only have 3 units to work with to start, be a lot more selective with your wagers. your goal should be to continue growing your current $600 balance by making solid bets on upper echelon teams.. never wager on a bad team to cover against another bad team just because the spread might be small, that's where you can get into big trouble
