    What size is the ideal bankroll?

    Let's say you expect to win around $2k per year, what kind of bank of bankroll do you need.

    It feels like your question is incomplete.

    We need more information.

    Bet size, volume, etc.

    $50-100 wagers could easily put you up 20-40 units in a year.

    $100 bet size. I usually bet 2-3 a day.

    I found this spreadsheet to help me this year

    From a true grinding standpoint this could be considered correct.

    Betting 2% of the starting bankroll, that's 40 per bet, and hitting 55% of your bets at -110 odds you could double a bankroll in 1000 plays.

    You will likely get better prices in this day and age of discount books but the real questions are can you generate 1000 plays in a year and more importantly, can you hit 55% of those plays?

    That's like asking a woman what's the ideal penis size.

    Seaweed, is that true? How? Was it just a lucky streak or are you a good bettor in general?

    Pavy knocks a grand slam





    With this one exception, I had a nurse I work with refuse to sleep with me because I was too big, she said "no woman likes to be fukked senseless with a coke can"



    Can't make some of this shit up Pavers

    Bigger the better, until it's too big

    Not sure this applies to bankrolls, Never known anyone to just play the small lotteries

    If you are not a winning player, like 95% of people, the ideal bankroll is zero. Triple that if you think you can win long term, but your results are still not there.
