    What Is Your Sports Bankroll? How Much Are You Betting Per Game?

    Is there a golden rule about this? Something told me don't bet more than 2% of your bankroll per game

    I go max single wager up to 5% of starting bankroll. After losing a few it's still up to 5% of starting bankroll...in other words no re-calibration during the season.

    I like to spread the units between 1% and 5% per pick, it works for me personally more times than not. Based mostly on confidence level of a particular wager, but also using other factors to determine the amount of each pick.

    Not saying I'm all that great, but my honest answer to your question nonetheless.

    Kickles, go into Think Tank forum. Bsims has a nice thread going. We hit on some Kelly Criterion topics and appropriate bet size.

    Worth the trip over.

    I got my oilfield job back so I'll be betting $4k+ on games this fall. But I need to stick to college football and college hoops cuz I am terrible at betting every other sport basically.

    Just under 1 million dollars. I follow the same strategy as kickles and bet 2% per game, so $20k per bet on average.

    Dang---that's big dog style. I guess I have a question...when do you start with your bankroll? I normally start with 1K every other Friday. I bet $200 per but i normally parlay my picks. 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!

    Sorry bro, i was just mocking kickles who claims he's betting 20k per game. If you somehow had a milly bankroll to bet sports with it's probably better invested into something else.

    I have some advice.

    Don't bet 30K on a MLB team that is 15-30 on the road.

    That just doesn't seem smawht.
