    Number one rule to survive betting is

    Flat betting. All plays the same except if it's an incredible edge.

    For example bet your unit whatever it is on all plays. No one play is really stronger than another.

    Thanks

    If you have a $10,000 bank roll and you’re betting anything more than $200 you’re going broke very very very fast

    Yes Lakeshow, I've been saying this since I came to SBR.

    If one thinks a play is worth twice or more risk than another play, then why make the other plays?

    In the end, only the big bets will count.

    Adjusting your bet size changes you breakeven point and costs you in vigorish.

    I'm with Twizzler, here...I'm old school and a spot bettor...usually my one or two best bets for the day or week...not a volume bettor and not an even unit bettor...you pick your spots and nail them and pound them!...you have to be the like the Cobra Kai's mentality of the Karate Kid..."strike hard, strike fast, no mercy!...mercy is for the weak!...we do not train to be merciful here!...when man face you, he is your enemy!"....but seriously, very rarely in sports do you real good about a play being a lock or close to it as possible...so when those opportunities arise, you have to pounce them!

    Sometimes u will find a bigger edge it would be dumb to only bet small on bet you're really confident in, flat betting is for inconsistent gamblers who don't believe they can win
