I'm 17 and talked my dad into setting up an account for me. Starting out with a $2,000 bankroll. Any long term money management tips for the new guy?

#3Stick with well-rated sportsbooks. Don't bet over your head.
The sharpest gambler in the world can't win if he can't ante up... so don't chase. Best of luck sir.Comment -

#4See if your leans consistently hit before you bet real money. If you are dead-set on ignoring this advice, bet a small enough amount that if it loses, you don't have lingering mental effects. Highly recommend capping games and locking in your plays before visiting SBR. Good luck...can't believe your dad did this for you. At least you'll have some accountability--maybe?Comment -

#16Be prepared to lose this bank and a few more before you ever get on top of the game.
Only a very very small percentage of players make it.Comment -

#25I think its funny that some of you are telling him it's against the law to gamble while it's perfectly legal for the rest of us LMAO! That's why we have to send our money to people with 3 last names, whose name changes every 5 minutes in the Phillipines and Nicaraugua...
And by the way, you have a real classy dad who's teaching you a vice that can potentially ruin your life at such a young age. Did he get you a hooker and a bag of weed for your 16th?Comment -

#27asking for long term money management tips tells me you'll do fine, my reasoning being, you obviously know the importance of money management. the rest of it relies on a certain amount of luck. good luck to you beating books.Comment -

Anyone who says they can make a good living off of gambling is full of shit... Unless you have inside info you're going to keep alternating between hot and cold streaks! Mostly cold streaks! After you have been gambling for a long time (like myself), it's not even about the money any more, it's about being in action.Comment -
