Is it bad to have my whole bankroll out at a time, every night? Every night, at one point or another, I have my complete bankroll all out on bets spread out through 5 or more games. Is that bad?

General consencus would be that bet size should be around 2 percent of your bankroll per wager.

If your making +ev bets a bad run might hurt you but still you got the edge.... If your making -ev bets then it is a horrible idea.
