Unless you have a big bankroll so you can make side bets then you can forget about making money at sports betting.I usually have to do parlays because I'm just a working stiff and I usually can only afford to send $200-$300 to begin with and that's not considered a bankroll not even close.If I had $2,500-$3,000 to start with sure I would be able to side bet games and have a few bad days,but when your playing with what I'm playing then you can't have many bad days.I'm poor which sucks,but it's better to keep my money then to lose it.Have a good day.

this sounds a whole lot like the people who complain about not being able to win at poker because all the donks at the level they can afford to play...Originally posted by awholelottalumps
As Archie said, bet a reasonable % of your bankroll...use good money management...get the best line possible...pick winners = WINNING BETTOR.

If you have a small bankroll, you have to play small stakes with a view to steady accumulation.
If you go in with a view to hitting a big parlay, then you have to get very lucky.
Pretty much all players who don´t have a basic grasp of money management would (and do) bust out, even with a big bankroll.Comment -
Thank god you have a 'bankroll'Comment -

Soz but not buying it lumpsOriginally posted by awholelottalumps as ppl in this thread have already stated its money management, being able to get the best lines and a little applied intelligence that counts.....I know we are all different but 4 me it started as a $20 freeplay. Now almost a dozen funded accounts from which i use OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY cos when they can see u know what ur doing they are more inclined to jump on and help you to help themselves Not saying this so much to blow my own trumpet, more pointing out what can be achieved with a little perseverance and a clear desire when you set specific goals and work hard/smart towards achieving them....
Persevere lumps, set goals in money management, the way you choose ur lines and angles chosen for game picks and continually re-examine ur management as its too easy to lose sight of this semmingly minor detail that at the end will count most towards defining whether ur an investor in this game or just another gambler.....BOLComment -
No bankroll= no chance
I agree and that applies to any form of gambling or business for the most part.
Most of us lose here because we play with scared moneyComment -
I started with under 1K.... I have built it up to mid 5 figures and have made withdrawals not deposits in the last 2 years.Comment
