    Turned 5k to 26k in Bookmaker. Keep going or cash out?

    Hey guys,

    Like the title states, I just turned 5k into over 26k on Bookmaker in less than 2 weeks. Should I keep going til I reach 100k or should I cash out?

    Anybody with large balance on bookmaker, feedback would be appreciated.

    You’re not going to, I just can tell by the ridiculous way you’re phrasing this, but you 100% need to cash something out.

    FYI I am no noob at this and have been doing this for years, so it wasn't just a lucky streak.

    This is absolutely correct. Do it in increments of $5k (where you started). Post your plays. We will go on the ride with you, OP.

    The reason I ask is because I've been increasing my bet amount by $100 as my balance goes up. Started betting to win $500, now $600, and if I get over 30k which will happen very soon, plan to go up to $700, on and on til I get to 100k. If I cash out, i need start back over at $500 and make my way up. Know what I'm saying?

    100% correct, logically!

    But what I do is withdraw half the amount and increase my stake. I've learned that you do not wana withdraw too much of your balance at once, books dn't like that...they may delay payout or even ask for docs or some other excuses (in my experience)

    You will hit a cold streak and you will venture away from your regular sized bets. Take 21k out. Try to build with the 5k up to 25k again. Take 20k out and repeat. At any point you go cold and have to redeposit start slow so that your hot streaks always outpace your losing streaks. You won’t listen to anyone on this forum though because you are already talking about turning 26k into 100k. It isn’t going to happen. And that’s not being negative that’s just telling you how it is.

    Think I will keep going until at least 40k or 50k and then cash out half.

    Leave 10k in there. Double leftover from your original. Still get bet larger wagers, but also got out 16k. Well, this is what I would do anyway. Or, cash it all out. And send that 10k somewhere else. This book might not like that 10k left in there turned into another 40k or something. LOL

    Is 10-20k payouts even a big deal for sportsbooks like Bookmaker? They've been around a long time. I'd imagine there would be people with six figure balances and cashing out much more?

    I had near 15k @ BM after the last SB big hit. I cashed it all out and got it within 3 hours via BTC (also had some at BOL but way less). You're not going to have problems.

    if you're asking whether you should cash out because you're worried your money might not be safe, don't sweat it. let's put it this way.. even if you were able to run-up your current balance ten-fold, you still wouldn't have anything to worry about. and they'll pay out any amount you request at any time quickly.

    Its capped at 25k/day, 50k/week, and 100k/month. U could try running this up to like 40k then take out 25k. The caps per week and month factor in what uve cashed out each day, week etc. If u cash out 25k two days in a row then u need to wait 1 week before u can do another 25k, and if uve already done 100k in 2 weeks then u are capped until 1 month passes. No incentive to run the account up huge. 50k is a fair goal, so yea I'd cash out soon

    I won’t give details, but I had a very similar experience to you recently.

    One thing I would definitely NOT do is reduce your bankroll size drastically, and the reason is not Bookmaker. From what I hear here and my experience they are solid.

    The reason, as I’m sure you know, is you’ll limit your rate of growth. I’m assuming your average bet size is some % of your overall bankroll size. At 25k, you can run $1,000 bets at 5% of your bankroll. I don’t know your comfort level or your system, but I’m sure you do something similar.

    What you want to do instead is GRADUAL withdrawal. For example, if you have 5, you set a goal. Every 4K you win, you withdraw 1k. You reach 9k, withdraw 1, are at 8. You hit 12, withdraw 1, are at 11. You hit 15, withdraw 1, are at 14. This allows you to slowly and gradually siphon out profits WITHOUT hurting your growth rate. The entire point is to grow the roll so that you can grow faster. At a 100k roll, you could run 1k bets (1% of your roll) quite comfortably and with low risk.

    You can implement this strategy however you want, whatever ratio you want. If you want to withdraw 1k for every 3k you make, or withdraw 1k for every 5k you make, or withdraw 1k for every 10k, do whatever you’d like.

    You also need to know your end goal or overall strategy. If you specialize in a certain sport and are much better in that one than others, you probably want to withdraw the roll or at least pause once the season is over.

    If you are confident enough in your abilities to pick winners year round, then a standing bankroll should be your goal. Of course this is the ultimate goal and not easy. So know your end goal. In the beginning my rules are simple. Recoup the initial investment and build the roll. If I were you, I would recoup the initial investment AT LEAST right now. This puts your roll at 20k, brings your 5k back, and you have lost nothing theoretically. If from there you wish to siphon 1k for every 4-5k generated, that’s not a bad idea.

    I will say that there is a point at which you probably reach optimal / maximum bankroll size, perhaps at 100-200k. At that point I think bankroll growth ceases to be as important, and the profit generated can be withdrawn as income. If you have 100k bankroll, and can bet 1k as 1%, you can probably make 1k a day, if not much more, assuming you’re decently capable. From that point on, it’s mostly just taking profits. This is generally how I see it. Of course this all assumes that everything goes correctly, which as we all know is never guaranteed in this business.

    Another thing i'd like to mention is never keep your whole betting bankroll at one book; diversify.

    Yes. Take out at least 20% (5k):

    1) Buy yourself something nice for about $1000. Either a vacation or something material that you've wanted. Reward yourself.
    2) Put some $$ into an investment. Put that profit toward your future.
