    You definitely care if you win or lose, yet you can't really get in trouble if you go on a losing streak.

    I guess right now I'm a degenerate but I can't care about a $50 bet.

      100 to 150 is good size bet. half units wont get u anywhere, you just lose it all paying the juice.

        should all depending on bankroll size.. thats a 5k bankroll or 2.5k roll

        if you picked 10 sbr posters at random i would say their combine bank accounts barely reach this much...


        but between 50 and 100 should be okay for most, enough to feel good if you win but if you lose ur not living with a fellow sbr poster

              Juice is the same, regardless of bet amount.

                Betting $50 a game you can lose more than you think if you bet a lot of games

                Look at my spreadsheet and that is betting $100 per game on ever play

                    $50 wager? It's not even worth the sportsbook's server space to print your ticket.

                              It's always gonna be a fun hobby if you bet small amounts. And if you bet a lot of games, you lose. So lose less, people.

                                I bet $100 to $300, and I can't count the number of times I've said the f word in the last 2 weeks. It ain't worth it to try to make money gambling. Margins are just too small. If you are playing a game where every half point means a lot, you are not gonna beat it over the long haul.

                                  I told you, for most of us 50 is too much.

                                    2 dollars bet could be exiting, doing parlay/martingale. Doing martingales starting with 2 and parlays with higher amounts as you win. Do parlay in the bets you like the most. The chances of not losing 10 picks in row in 100 bets are very high. Even in a 1000 bets it might not happen. Limiting the parlays to only 3-5. This is probably stupid but you wont be losing 100 dollars per day and if lucky you can make even more money that doing straight bets. 2-2-4-8-16-30-60-60-120-200. as you win you could be much more aggressive, but at some point you have to stop because you will lose all. I know this is stupid but could be fun while you learn.
