Bankroll management is very important. Even with an advantage you go bust if u don't have a nice bankroll.

common, coach. Get a clue.
I totally disagree w/ you. Just b/c a guy has $$ to lose does not mean he = a good gambler. There's a term for those guys. It's called "a whale." And those fukkin guys don't win. Casinos roll out the red carpet for a chance to take their $$.
Where's the fuckin power box, Carol?

It's all relevant. Player with 10,000 gets the same percntage payout, as the player with a 100.
C'mon JJ use your noggin..........

i have to disagree.. i find in my personal experience that you concenrate more with a smaller bankroll than with a larger one...well for me personally i tend to make larger reckless bets when i have a lot in an account and i seem to play a lot smarter when i have a few hundred in there...thus leading me to believe in the theory that it doesnt take a lot of money to make money, it takes a lot of WINNERS!!

i agree because then you can incorporate scalping and guaranteeing profits with live bets etc. you can make investments instead of guesses.
however, if you allocate more money towards gambling, your potential to lose more is greater. Its the opposite of the concept of unlimited "upside" potential in short-selling.

Look even if JJ is right he isn't pointing out for the reason people think he is. It has nothing to do with promoting proper BR management as a winning player. The only reason he spews this out is because the hold goes up as the amount bet goes up.

Bigger bankroll is better, it allows you to bet heavy favorites and cash.
Betting 5,000 to win 750.00 is probably a bad wager, but WAYYYY more times then not, it cashes. And bam extra 750 to troll it up with.

There is a disconnect in your logic though. The player with 10k is more likely to do well because he is smart enough to set aside a proper bankroll. Smart people tend to do better.
As far as % win-wise, you will do just as well at any bankroll obviously. But a big bankroll helps with logistics such as database purchase, line services, injury services etc.

If you're saying a high stakes gambler has a better chance of winning than a low stakes gambler, then you are wrong.
But if your saying a high stakes gambler will make more profit than a low stakes gambler, then you are right.

In sports betting that"s true. In most other areas its not. Poker, horse racing, trading(futures IE e-mini)
etc, you can take an edge and grow your roll fairly quickly with as little as 500-1000 start.

$500 goes all in on a 15 teamer... and hits - $500 roll obv... you ain't gonna have those balls with a 10k roll.
