    95% or more of sports bettors bet under $50 a game.

    And the other 5% lie about what they bet per game.

    But this is not the norm & depends on the quality & bankroll of ur cLient & the bookmaker's bankroll & how much risk he is willing to take, how well he reads his cLients & the relationship the bookmaker has w/his cLients. Would appreciate hearing more on this subject

    How about $15 when you are on a losing streak?

    I'm generally $20/bet and do a lot of ml parlays in both NBA and NFL. I vary it sometimes (but usually regret it... lol). I threw down $100 on Bama the night the line came out, thinking getting Bama and +2.5 pts was too good to be true. I was wrong!

    I bet for entertainment. Started the football season by putting $100 in my Bovada account and am now at $450 (but was at zero on Thanksgiving before an epic turkey-day drunken run of good luck). I have some delusional dream of making money at this someday but just don't have the time/energy to devote to it now. I do pretty well without even paying much attention to things like injury reports, etc. so am hopeful with a bit of effort I could do better... But, of course, every bettor thinks that. I know enough to know that profitable sports bettors are pretty rare and put A LOT of work into it.

    Small bettors are usually the smartest bettors
