it is depressing betting 10.00 a game

[battle4life]

how many on sbr can honestly say thats what they bet per play on avergage.to me it is a complete waste of time.even if i win 100 in a row at 10.00 doesnt mean shit.total bullshitttttttttt.i need to work more overtime and start winning more often than none.it truly sucks betting 10.00 a game.

[thetrinity]

not worth it IMO play a poker tourny so u can at least win something

[Bcatswin]

different strokes for different folks

[battle4life]

i guess poker sucks as well.i used to be good at poker when i wasnt a degen

I'm probably a 'statistical outlier' but for me, I don't really care what the amount is. For me, it's about 'how much more often can I be right than wrong?'

It could be $50, $100, $500. They're all equally satisfying if I win.

I cheer a $1 bet with the person sitting in my living room as hard as a $500 bet. But then again, I'm prob not the norm.

[GoodSun]

thats the mentality that got you betting 10 agame in the first place.

[YouMama]

play 4 match parlays ... 10 -> 150 or save up and dont bet til u have 50$ to play

[DemoralizdDreamr]

bet 10 bucks on three play parlays

[baskets]

If bet 50,000 per pick in air bets..... oh man the heights and depths are colossal.


Try air-betting some time.

No shame in that... better to bet with in your means and enjoy the game then be like kids like warriorfan who bet beyond their means and are immaturity clowns... gambling should be fun and for entertainment for most people and not your main source of income

[Chi_archie]

you've had some big plays on CC battle. I thought you won those?

[john230]

The rush is not as great, but the low ain't as bad when you bet within your means. Imagine you had big $ on the Ravens and Niners yesterday. Been there, done that. I'm tired of it. Now bet small and use SBR points- much better off than when I was wagering above my means.

[Sam Odom]

No shame in that...

Too many dummies on here will send off 100.00 and make a 50.00(to win) bet on a -185 fav

[LVHerbie]

So is your roll is about a dime? Just picking up book's dropped change off the ground you should able to double this in a very short time (hint: focus on just about any type of +EV gambling besides betting full game spreads on major sports)...

If you can't do that I would agree that you should either consider gambling a hobby or start looking for something else to do with your time...

[Hawkeye2011]

I woukd rather be bored and bet ten a game then have a huge rush every once in awhile with maxed out cc and trying to figure out how to get out of a lease contract

[vyomguy]

I have bet big (5 figures) plenty of times....each time its a nervous breakdown...trust me.

Stick to small bets and play gambling for fun...this thing ruins your life.

[Big Bear]

if you bet $10 a game you do it as a hobby , not to make money. I recommend $10 a game in MLB since its such a long season.


Kansas Jayhawks just fukked me . I had Kansas 1st half ML as the last leg of a huuuuge parlay , i can't believe what i just saw. last 4 possesions with a tie game kansas shoots 3 pointers and misses every single one of them

oh yeah , man betting big is hard to enjoy. I've gotten better at it though. I don't yell at the tv anymore when i lose

[Ernie Mccracken]

Considering there's zero chance that you will ever be a profitable gambler, donating a small amount of money is preferable to a large amount. Enjoy the sweat.

[paranoyd androyd]

is your time and mental thought process really only worth anywhere from $3 to $5/hr?

[Sam Odom]

I know many do NOT like to hear/read this... But

The amount of a bet shouldn't matter - be it , 10.00 , 100.00 , 1000.00 or 10,000

what matters is the % of your gambling BR

If your BR = 500K then a 10K bet is small potatoes

[INVEGA MAN]

i do it for the rush. i have bet anywhere from $10 to $2200. i cant watch Army vs vemont unless i have something on it. now for the super bowl i already bet $440 and will bet more when i get to vegas

[Ruifgalmeida]

for me 1$ or 100$ it is the same i will cheer for the game and will be pissed if i lose.

[darkhat]

Yah 10 dollars isn't enough to give me enough of a rush. However, if i lose like 100 - 200 bucks I'd wish I just bet the 10.

[dynamite140]

Are you related to no coincidences?


He bets $10 a game too. He has Small Bettor Syndrome (SBS)


You guys might be twins

I agree with this post 100%. If more people(myself included) bet smaller amounts to find out what they are good at I think they would be much more successful(or at least lose less) in the long run.

By the way... the book "Outliers" by Malcolm Gladwell is a great book.
