    New to All of This

    Hey guys I am completely new to sports betting. I've always had a passion for sports and followed the lines here and there but never actually bet the games. I decided that it is time I start losing money with the rest of you!

    In all honesty I am blessed to have a well paying job, so I am able to wager $500 to $1000 per game. I was wondering if anyone here bets around those amounts so I could possibly chat with you a little to see how you manage your money and pick your games.

    Thanks

    I think you'll find the amount is relative and doesn't change strategy much. There are some very sharp guys that bet $250 per or less. It's about their opinion or perceived advantage more than the amount. The amounts come into play more when it's a book with low max wagers or the minor sports or leagues.

    Welcome to the board newbie. You'll learn fast jumping in here first.

    welcome aboard, maybe you should try and bet a little less per game starting out. it can be a rough going at first and very humbling.
