      Exactly, what popped into my mind when I read the thread title!

        My process is fairly simple. Under 20k balance, bet size to win $500, over 20k, $600, over 30k, $700, etc.

          I mean, what sports do you bet on and how fast did you achieve your goals?

                  One thing I would definitely NOT do is reduce your bankroll size drastically, and the reason is not Bookmaker. From what I hear here and my experience they are solid.

                  The reason, as I’m sure you know, is you’ll limit your rate of growth. I’m assuming your average bet size is some % of your overall bankroll size. At 25k, you can run $1,000 bets at 5% of your bankroll. I don’t know your comfort level or your system, but I’m sure you do something similar.

                  What you want to do instead is GRADUAL withdrawal. For example, if you have 5, you set a goal. Every 4K you win, you withdraw 1k. You reach 9k, withdraw 1, are at 8. You hit 12, withdraw 1, are at 11. You hit 15, withdraw 1, are at 14. This allows you to slowly and gradually siphon out profits WITHOUT hurting your growth rate. The entire point is to grow the roll so that you can grow faster. At a 100k roll, you could run 1k bets (1% of your roll) quite comfortably and with low risk.

                  You can implement this strategy however you want, whatever ratio you want. If you want to withdraw 1k for every 3k you make, or withdraw 1k for every 5k you make, or withdraw 1k for every 10k, do whatever you’d like.

                  You also need to know your end goal or overall strategy. If you specialize in a certain sport and are much better in that one than others, you probably want to withdraw the roll or at least pause once the season is over.

                  If you are confident enough in your abilities to pick winners year round, then a standing bankroll should be your goal. Of course this is the ultimate goal and not easy. So know your end goal. In the beginning my rules are simple. Recoup the initial investment and build the roll. If I were you, I would recoup the initial investment AT LEAST right now. This puts your roll at 20k, brings your 5k back, and you have lost nothing theoretically. If from there you wish to siphon 1k for every 4-5k generated, that’s not a bad idea.

                  I will say that there is a point at which you probably reach optimal / maximum bankroll size, perhaps at 100-200k. At that point I think bankroll growth ceases to be as important, and the profit generated can be withdrawn as income. If you have 100k bankroll, and can bet 1k as 1%, you can probably make 1k a day, if not much more, assuming you’re decently capable. From that point on, it’s mostly just taking profits. This is generally how I see it. Of course this all assumes that everything goes correctly, which as we all know is never guaranteed in this business.
                  Thanks for sharing bro. You're right, I don't want to reduce my rate of growth. Should focus on gradual withdrawals. Aiming for 20k/month and don't want to cashout until I reach a certain threshold, which for me is at least 2x the initial balance. I think sports betting comes down to your confidence level in a certain play and I've been using valuable data to help me be successful to this point. Goal is get to 100k+ balance where each bet is to win $1000 to $2000. This allows me to narrow down my plays based on confidence and reduce volume/day.

                  I know you asked me what sports I bet on. 90% of my bets are on soccer with a little baseball, basketball, hockey, and rugby league mixed in.

                      BTW for those serious and want to actually have some insightful discussions on sports investing as I like to call it; I'm thinking of creating a discord chatroom for discussions daily and post plays. Thoughts and interests?

                        Well, I've had a good run this time around - it took me less than 2 weeks. Usually it takes me about a month to grow my bankroll 5x. I bet mostly on soccer, a little baseball, basketball (wnba right now), and rugby league. Rugby league is almost automatic for me lol

                              Totally up to you but that would at least give you credibility. Not that hard, all you have to do is cross out your account # kind of like this.

                                              Yeah that third digit is annoying to look at.

                                                      Plan is to cash out half once I get to 40-50k before end of this month.

I bet mostly on soccer, a little baseball, basketball (wnba right now), and rugby league. Rugby league is almost automatic for me lol
                                                            Very nice. You got to go PRO on here.

Started betting to win $500, now $600, and if I get over 30k which will happen very soon, plan to go up to $700, on and on til I get to 100k. If I cash out, i need start back over at $500 and make my way up. Know what I'm saying?
                                                                Kelly criterion betting. You make the betting ceiling.

Are some of you such brokedik fukks that it's hard for you to imagine having 5 figures in your balance? Going from 5k to 25k is not even some Herculean endeavor. The cynicism makes y'all look broke.
