    Bankroll Management

    I will try to post all my plays. Bankroll is at around $550. Wagering around $30-$60 on plays. Some will be straight up, some parlays. But I will be covering here. The goal is to make $30/ a day which will be close to an additional $1,000 a month. If I reach $30, this does not mean I will stop if the board is popular for that day.

    If on a hot streak, will play small casino stakes to make $5-$10 to cover the 'cover games'.

    Not to get carried away, I will only have action AFTER WORK, which means work is priority and this cannot consume your life, that is how you get carried away and start going on tilt with higher wagers. (Just from my previous mistakes)...

    Join me or not, but I think this can be yours (and my easiest $1,000 / month income).

    have you checked this out? Great tool for bankroll management--risk/reward approach

    http://www.sportsbookreview.com/pick...ly-calculator/

    Might be worth looking at. If you change the % to $, it will spit out your optimal bet size in a dollar amount, given the odds and your estimated probability (the tricky part) of winning the bet. There is also an option for 1/2 kelly, which I'd recommend, as you'd reduce your volatility by 50% but would also reduce your growth potential. Just change the Kelly multiplier to ".5" if that interests you.

    I'd also recommend visiting the wizardofodds's sportsbetting page.

    $50.00 $351.14 Pending 3 Team Parlay
    Win 10/6/16 2:45pm International Soccer 19 Israel (WC-Qual) +163* vs Macedonia (WC-Qual)
    Win 10/6/16 2:45pm International Soccer 28 Croatia (WC-Qual) -1 -137* vs Kosovo (WC-Qual)
    Pending 10/6/16 2:45pm International Soccer 31 Albania (WC-Qual) -1½ -131* vs Liechtenstein (WC-Qual



    Sorry I was away and just could not load up sbforum on my mobile phone.

    I just had to make this parlay.

    my cover was this
    $25.00 $287.59 Pending 3 Team Parlay
    Loss 10/6/16 2:45pm International Soccer 19 Draw (Israel (WC-Qual) vs Macedonia (WC-Qual)) +211* vs Israel (WC-Qual)
    Pending 10/6/16 2:45pm International Soccer 28 Croatia (WC-Qual) -1½ +128* vs Kosovo (WC-Qual)
    Pending 10/6/16 2:45pm International Soccer 31 Albania (WC-Qual) -1½ -131* vs Liechtenstein (WC-Qual)


    also had another small cover for $15 for a total of $40.00

    Profit was $350-40 = $310.00

    Usually wouldn't bet like this but was very confident in my plays.


    4 more days of Euro Q. Good luck Tail or Fade

    It's hard enough to win 1 game let alone 3.

    Good luck in this venture.

    Lichtenstein loses every game, they are just awful. Albania is doing very well.
    Kosovo is a new team and people are still transitioning over to Kosovo from Swiss and Albanian Natl teams....So Croatia i figured -1 is safe.
    Macadonia is weak although I expected a tie/loss for them and I was right. Israel was the only game I was concerned about, but I had that covered also.

    ATC...you have a $550 bankroll, at least when you started. If you were RISKING just $30 per bet your risk or ruin would be around 34%. Betting $100 per game which is almost 20% of your starting bank almost assur s bankroll destruction.

    It is very difficult to do, but you should not bet more than 2% of your bankroll or $10

    You should bet based on your current total bankroll and not by starting total bankroll.
    Your bets should get slightly smaller every time you lose and get slightly bigger every time you win.

    Right! The only reason I bet $100 on the soccer game is cause I was very confident and I know soccer the best.

    Why
    -15.5 and 17 has no difference to the spread.... If BC is covering the spread then will be covering the -15.5

    You cannot win long-term betting 10% of your bankroll on any single game.

    You will go bankrupt, 100%

    Makes ZERO sense. 14 is a hot number and the next hot number is 17. Chances is lands on 15 or 16 is far less than the juice the book charges to buy. Can't win long-term with dumb ass bets like this.

    You're grossly over betting your roll. Scale back your wagers.

    I am at $950.00, wagered $30 and $40 today. I don't think that is high. Are you talking about the $100 on soccer? I agree, but that was a guarantee Colombia wasn't going to lose. Soccer is my game mate.
