    How to build a bankroll?
    Where do I start to find and start building a solid bankroll? What handicappers do you recommend following? I have a starting bankroll of about $1K right now I'm looking to have $10K by the end of NFL season or college basketball season is that rushing it? Any help on this topic would be greatly appreciated.

    You would be better to spend 90% of that money on alcohol and whores and then waste the other 10%. Remember what I told you when you are reupping. I am not being critical of you. Just staing the obvious of a very difficult game. If you are successful at this you will have earned it. It's almost equivalent to college education in terms of what you might spend until you figure this out, but there is no way you ever whip it. You basically have to hit 53% of your bets to break even, and anybody will tell you it sounds much easier than it is over the long road. Anybody can run good in the short term, but 55-58% long term you are a king.

      You can't build a bankroll by gambling, you can only lose a bankroll gambling. It's that simple. If you don't lose it all now, you will eventually.

            Very well said.

            Because you win now, you lose later. Say you win a couple grand, you think your invincible. Start making larger bets. Than one cold streak, any your down to ZERO.

                Nice way to help a guy out everybody. Your good for the forum.

                You probably wont turn 1k into 10k by end of the nfl season. Betting 1-3% of your roll(which is the standard bet) just wont get you there in time. You need to pick your spots and do your best with the picks. Do research, put some time into it, and eventually the 1k can be 10k.

                  I gave this young man the proper advice on how to use his bankroll. At least with the alcohol and whores he would have some nice memories, provided there is not STD"S. Yea, that's one thing I left out.... Wear a raincoat if you go diving.

                  I say start off small at a nice strip club out of town were nobody knows you. pay for some lap dances, but be picky. Don't choose the first bitch. Wait to you find one that you would fukk. When she is through offer her a proposition to leave with you.If the price is right they will or they will tell you there price.

                      So you are looking to 10x your bankroll by the end of the football season???

                      And you are serious?

                      Pick a +1000 dog...put all your money on it... If they win you have $10,000. If you lose ...back to pounding your meat 3x a day!

                                The only one able to answer to your question is... you. If you are good you can reach your goal, but it takes luck,experience, knowledge, courage, patience and discipline. Good luck.
