    50 dollars for entertainment?

    I was thinking of depositing 50 dollars on a sports site just for entertainment. Its a small amount and making lots of money is not the objective its just to enjoy games with a dollar being put in a game. Should i avoid doing this or is it ok?

    If you know it has the ability to destroy your life..
    why would you even bother.

    On the other hand why are you here if you think that
    a $50 deposit may kill you.

    join the the chess& checkers club much
    more safety their.

    I had gotten 100 on betcris but i had lost that in a few reckless bets in the past. $100 doesnt make me a high roller it was a small amount.

    bet what makes you happy and what you think you can afford to lose and not suffer financially or emotionally

    i did this in my early college years. would put $100 in a site and bet $1, $2 a game. it was fun and if I got it up to $200 I was really happy. didn't do teasers, parlays, etc. only sides and totals. sometimes i miss those simpler betting times.

    I wouldn't do it. Either you initially win and are dissapointed that you only bet a few dollars a game, deposit a much bigger amount and lose it. Or you quickly lose $50 for the thrill. I don't think you will be disciplined enough for $1 bets until you go bust. A better idea would be betting your betpoints until you get up to 3k (which I think is the maximum amount you can keep after going pro). Then go pro by donating $100 and then withdraw 2,667 points to get a $100 worth of bitcoin from the sbr store. If you can get at least 2,667 points, you'd be able to go pro for free.

    A normal sane person would not be worried about 50 dollars if they bet a dollar a game.....so you answered your own question no don’t do it.

    Yah. I wouldn't even bother with a dollar. Spend the money on going pro and play that way. I don't think even a $100 bet is that much. I mean how exciting is it to win a $100 Bux.? I'd spend it within a day.

    Scot the nite announcer on espn sports center has a good show bad beats, and they warn bettors to be careful with their betting money because of the bad beats that happen.
