    Banker you’re probably down tons of money lifetime you would know that if you wrote everything down


    Most people think they’re even gambling

    Whatever your unit size is lifetime multiplied by at least 10-50 times to calculate your losses

    I ain’t saying whether I’m down or up, you right I Havnt the slightest. Lol. Just that my deposits are small albeit sometimes often while the times I do cash it a nice chunk. I don’t miss the small deposits, I do enjoy the rare cashouts!!

    This coming from someone who couldn't even win in Las Vegas where there are literally dozens of casinos giving +EV plays every day on stuff that is widely known about.

    You are the only one who needs all of those things and will still certainly lose. The rest of us only need to make good bets, and we'll win and be fine. And we're going to do that no matter how many times you project your own ignorance onto everyone else.

    fukk it

    im players advocate

    jj wrong again

    im sick of guys TOUTING to deposit bankroll and then bet 1-5% of bankroll


    WORST STRATEGY

    who is collecting interest on that money?

    who can use that money?

    who loses that money if books go broke?







    TRUST ME, when you deposit and lose $50 as an all in play, books will offer the same fukkin reload bonus to you as if you deposited 10k and lost $50






    big difference men




    BET 100% of your offshore roll, but deposit 1-5% of your roll

    There is no interest in the bank Rudy it’s basically 0%


    The lesson here is bet t recreationally

    If you have 200,000 in the bank the most your sports betting bank role should be is $10,000 so most people here have under a $10,000 cash bank roll to their name which means they should have a $500 gambling bank roll these are the dumbest people I’ve ever seen in the thread


    Any other criteria you’re in for a very miserable life with a negative balance bank roll


    I know I lost everything over $300,000 gambling

    and ill tell you something else OP

    do not spread your bets out and bet many games to reduce variance



    you are a fukkin loser

    you want the variance

    you need to get lucky



    if you want no variance, go put a dollar in the slots next to betty and dot at the local indian casino

    thats your goddamn excitement

    losing money slowly ONLY





    if you want to win, bet to win

    PERIOD

    then withdraw

    I recommend you ask your original question from this thread again, but this time post it in the Think Tank. I've done the same thing several times. You post a question in Players Talk and you get a lot of non-sense replies from people with gambling problems who are down LOTS of money. You ask the exact same question in the SBR Think Tank and if you're lucky you'll get a few serious replies and MUCH less gibberish. Here's an example: https://www.sportsbookreview.com/for...nding-roi.html He asked a very similar question that you did, but the replies he got were much better quality because he asked it in the Think Tank.

    Most likely you just bet for fun , so you don’t have any bankroll.
    Bankroll is for people who do betting for living.
    You can bet like 1% - 10% (each bet) of your monthly income, depends on your feelings.

    It is disheartening to find out that many people have found this great website full of information and techniques one could use to actually make money investing in sports only to waste it being a gambler.

    As for myself, I treat my bankroll like a 401K account except I don't make deposits anymore. The yearly goal is to make 10% return on investment. To that end, my bet size is around 5 % of the entire bankroll, but that is determined on taking the number of bets per year and dividing that into the bankroll. I only bet the NFL so for me it is 21 betting chances a year.


    If you need constant action, take maybe 0.1% to keep that urge satiated, but leave the investment bets at 5%.

    I believe about 50 or so guys go read the basics in the think tank

    Then come over here and act like they know things

    Last time in one of these threads, I showed why a beginner should NOT be depositing $100 into 5 books to get the best lines but instead deposit all $500 into 1 book


    This is very similar. You do NOT deposit your full bankroll (unless your full bankroll is the max signup bonus amount) and you do not bet 1-3% but you MOST DEFINITELY do not follow any kind of half kelly, quarter kelly or any kellys ........other than bundy or kapowski.

    Oh, I see it is linked to Think Tank

    There are about 10 guys still in Think Tank that know all kinds of shit, you dont argue with

    HOWEVER to put it into my terminology:

    If Tiger Woods is playing with 3 hackers with a banana slice and we are on a dogleg left Par 4

    Tiger would say ok, optimal shot is aim right center of fairway, draw it 5 yards to the center. If it doesn't draw, hes still right center, if it does, hes perfectly in the middle, if it draws 2x as much...hes left side of fairway

    You would not tell the 3 hackers with banana slices to play a 5 yard draw




    You cant do most of these things until you have an actual model, that is when you can start incorporating things they do, like betting a shit ton of games and actually quantifying your edge so you can use varying percentages per bet (ex: Kelly)...many guys around here "think" they have a model made up of about 3 numbers and divide by something else...that isnt a model

    Until then, you are stuck playing putt putt with the rest of us and you have to learn how to use it to your advantage that way instead

    Depends on your confidence in particular sport. For me MLB and hoops are best so my bets are

    MLB, Hoops, CFB - 2.5% for one unit and on occasion I will go 2u
    NFL is much tougher for me so- 1.5%
    NBA, tennis, UFC, etc are all 1% but I am more likely to risk 2 or 3u

    All my wagers are amount risked whether fav or dog. On rare occasion I play a big ML fav I may risk a little more.

    Also my bankroll is a number I feel I can comfortably lose without effect on my like...not necessarily how much on deposit in my books

    If SBR were serious about teaching players how to bet, they'd ban JJgold and BigdaddyHQ from posting in the handicapper think tank. That popping noise you hear when reading? That's your IQ crashing from the pressure differential.

    If you started with 5% per bet but found yourself in a slump you can cut that 5% by halves or quarters (2.5% or 1.25%) There is a bankroll system called the "Quarter Kelly". Basically the idea is that what you calculate your win rate and bet amount should be, then be more conservative and cut that bet by half or quarter until you have enough action to justify larger bet amts.

    I like the 3% compounding strategy explained here. This has been working good for me for the past couple of years. One of the thing that I like about this is that you can divide the bankroll into multiple portfolios and some you can do it aggressively for recreational plays and the main portfolios you can do it conservatively.

    By the book....2-3 % of your roll should equal 1 unit !!.......also consider power weighting,for me it's the only way to go !!!!
