    If You Have $200 Bankroll Each Bet Should Be $4

    When will you dummies ever learn????

    I love guys with $200 and betting $50 a game and then cry they have no money to bet


    If you have say 500 end of a month after bills the most you can use for gambling is $100

    Not really. 90% of people will lose and feed the books if they always bet the same amount of money for every game.
    Probably closer to 95%. You need to mix up your bet sizes.

    you need to break your bankroll into 75 units and bet 1 unit for even odds

    It's best to keep that risk flat and not bet "to win" as that will change the breakeven, usually not for the best.

    You can take a bankroll from $1K to $100K and you only need to change your bet size a dozen times, any more could be costly.

    Playing with partial Kelly is dangerous for most bettors, especially if they are betting prices or moneylines outside of -115 or so.

    Keeping the vig low and prices close to even money are probably the best way to go if you are partially staking.

    No, if you have 200 bucks, and that's all you have. You wait for the right time to pull the trigger.
    You don't bet 4 bucks. Who the phuck bets 4 bucks. The Stations don't ever take 4 bucks here in Vegas. Who the phuck!!!!

    Just don't be an action junkie and force bets everyday. Patience, that's all.

    4 bucks

    Pretty much.
    Spending three months to go from 200 to 300 bucks by 'betting 2% of bankroll rule' is pointless.

    Tonight, do you want to make 200 bucks, or sit on 205 till tomorrow, and then get to 210, or maybe lose and be down to 199.


    When you win 200 bucks, you need to spend that shit, don't be a dumbass and bet 400 the next game-I've made that mistake

    Notice when I mentioned a bankroll range I started at $1k.

    Even then, it's a near ridiculous grind.

    Thanks KVB


    Bankroll has this loose definition.

    I have $1000.
    I have $200 bankroll for gambling.
    Thousand bucks goes to bills and shitt.
    200 bucks is what I got left to play with. If I win 200 I pay for shit, and I don't let it ride till I lose. You do that, and theirs no point in betting, because you will eventually give it all back, very quickly if you let it ride.

    This. If you have 200 dollars to bet and you're betting 4 bucks, just stop gambling. There's no point. It takes time to research games. It takes time to place bets. It takes time to check scores. Do all that for 4 bucks?
