    Dumbest rule ever.

    The other night, I went into the casino with a hundred bucks.
    By that logic, I'm only allowed to bet 2 George Washington's? Really?

    For me, bet what I know won't piss me off into ruining my day.

    Hey I just thought of something
    You know who likes to say that stupid 2% rule
    Touts
    All touts like to say that to that stupid 2% rule, i wonder why. Its not because they care only about geting your business. Because when they lose your money, then they need to find a way to get after the rest of your bankroll.


    Me, it's simple. 20 bucks is the lowest I go, or it's not wort the trip to the stations.
    Most of my bets are to win 100.
    Most of my 2 team parlays are 40 bucks(they win about 100)
    Made one bet 3 bets this year for 500, lost two of them. Most I will bet.

    So my range is 20-500

    how did you finish up on the World Cup?
    i won on a hundred bucks, I think i tailed a Senegal pick on a Sunday morning I got to the Station fast enough.
    Games were too early for me to get to the Stations, here in Vegas, so I missed out.

    Good post. I do 150-200 parlays only or else it's not worth it. I started at $50 years ago but if I'm gonna sit and watch a game I better come up. 150-200 is that sweet spot.

    I won 7.4 units on on the world cup. The Third place game and finals helped me achieve this.

It's a roller coaster but I would like to know how i can "start" with a bankroll and how much should i start with if I want to bet $200 per game or parlay?

    I know I know, parlay are sucker bets. So maybe I need to be schooled on the business side of this not the "fun" side of it because that is getting expensive when I go a few parlays without winning. I just don't see how I can bet say 180 to win 100 on baseball. Rather bet the 200 on two teams and at least double my money.

    School me pros!
    The rule of thumb is that you should only parlay games with some sort of corellation. So say for instance a baseball game that you feel if one side wins the score will most likely go over, then you could parlay.


    How much do you make per week?

    200 bets is 20% of your bankroll and it is extremely high. The rule of thumb is 2-5 percent but you would need to have a firm understanding of the sport you are betting If you cant find an angle it is good to just flat bet. Depends on how much money you have on hand. I reload and withdraw a lot but this is not ideal. Ideally, if you want to bet 200 bets, Depositi 10000 and just use that as your base. You can increase your betting amount or decrease it as you gain or lose money.

    If you're going to be betting volume, you might as well whore the bonuses making smaller deposits, rinse and repeat..
