                100-250 for spreads... and full degenerate mode for ML's so it varies.

                  it all depends on the person's income......i know dudes who have plenty of money but cannot afford to lose it.

                  i have various passive incomes so i can afford to bet 100, 150, or even 200 a game. most ive bet is 1000, but when im running cold i go down to 50....maybe even 25 on a long shot...it all depends.

                  i dont care what people are betting as long as their betting something....preferably real money and not points, but it's all good.

                  we're just here to have fun.....dont go broke.

                    I have a hard time gauging the true means of the avg SBR poster.

                    Avg bet size would be even more difficult to estimate imo

                            Should be $100. Anything less is useless

                                Agreed. $100 unit size min.

                                  Had to up it to $150 a play min. My bet frequency has gone down, but a lot less need for degen plays.

                                    If I was disciplined and only betting +EV games I would fire 1k a game or more. I'm a fukkin action junkie though and if I bet 1k on a fukkin MAC game where I have zero edge, my risk of ruin is 100%. I'd rather fire 50 bucks on a random play or on one of my favorite teams.

                                      If you want to have decent income, you should bet $1000 per game. 100-dollar bets hardly make any impact.

                                        A lot of talk here, but I bet the actually average bet size is less than $50. Not saying that any of you guys aren’t betting a lot more, but guys that are wagering $10 a game, aren’t going to respond to this thread.

                                        I don't one place a wager under $100 and it varies from there. I had $1500 on an NHL wager last eeek, $550 on MNF, and as much as $3k that I threw down on that three team parlay that hit at the end of last year’s NHL playoffs.

                                        If I had to try to come up with an average....I would say $175 or so.

                                            For me , bet size from $150-$750. Anything below that would be considered gambling for fun.

                                                didn't lose one bet on that Stanley cup final.. never had a 4 month run like Super Bowl to the end of the nhl/NBA playoffs last year. once in a lifetime type run

                                                  Anywhere from $5 a unit and most plays are 1-5 unit. I play one game a day at $75.

                                                  I use 2 inexpensive services, Not exciting with the small plays but it all adds up.

                                                  Up $400 this month. Slow and steady, it’s a marathon. In December I will adjust.

                                                  Was up $700 but went aggressive (only losing days in a 10 day period. Lmao) and lost $450 in 2 days.

                                                  Real info

                                                    Men if you make 50k a year salary the most you should be betting is $10 a game

                                                    It is what people do not get ......betting $10 a game and you can easily lose $100 a week and that is way too much for a 50k gross salary

                                                        Not really. Most lose betting on sports long term, probably 95%. Smarter to bet $100 a game and lose long term or $20-$50 a game and lose long term?

                                                        Sportsbetting is many different things to many different people. How many here are professional bettors?

                                                          I make six figures and I bet anywhere from $10 to over $500 a game. There is no code or rules to follow. Bet whatever you feel comfortable with. More complete bullshit posts in this thread than not.

                                                            I've been betting for 2 years and am a 15 dollar a side or total bettor. I figured if I'm actually successful, my bankroll would increase and my average bet would increase... So far I've lost a few hundred of my bankroll so I'm going to stay at this unit until I figure things out to win it back. If I were a 100 bettor my losses would have been greater.

                                                              Okay so if most lose that's fine. Either way if you hit around 50% you won't lose much more.
