    How much of a bankroll do you think you need to start with to bet pro?




    Minimum. And what do you think would be good bankroll management.

    $50K with wagers between 1%-3% of total bankroll ($500-$1,500) with the maximum wager being 5% ($2,500)

    That's what I started with 6 years ago and it was enough to get through the downtimes.

    I agree with VegasInsider. If you have less of a bankroll, keep the percentage guidelines and just roll back the amount of the bets according to your total bankroll.

    depends if you can bet props and are eligible for most bonuses maybe not that much, but if you only bet sides should be at least 40k

    If you have access to Exchanges like Betfair and can learn the art of trading, you could bet a bigger percentage of your bankroll with minimum risk.

    Assuming you were looking to fully live on your roll.

    If your monthly expenses were ~1600 (bills,food,etc)

    To make 400 a week safely you would need at least a 10k roll where if you can make 4% a week and cash out then you could "do it" but regardless this is no great standard of living.
