We know you are generally supposed to throw down 1-5% of your roll per bet. Ideally 1 Unit is supposed to =1% of your roll.

My bet sizes fluctuate quite a bit and I am nowhere close to this rule. So go on and answer the question.

[Ced's shadow]

My unit's a 5%, but I sometimes end up betting up to 5 units, which is not wise, but I've been lucky most of the times

[VegasPlayer]

1% - But thinking about chasing up to 4%

[ttwarrior1]

usually 100, i get 6 points a day and i do a 5 point parlay or teaser. I never hit but once in over a year and a half
Im 1 for 476

[venice2222]

usually 5-10% depending on how drunk I am

[SoV]

I do a Patty V and go all in on each bet.

[FourLengthsClear]

I utilise a slightly modified variant of Kelly, my average bet (ATS or total) is 3-4% of bankroll.

[slatter]

If my bankroll is full, I usually have 50 units, so 2% for most bets. But my bankroll was at 25 units after the Super Bowl and I was still betting the same dollar amount (so it was 4% of my bankroll per bet at that point). The higher % of your bankroll you place on a bet, the higher likelihood you go broke in the long run (i.e. over several thousand bets and several years).

[RubberKettle]

1-3% on NBA, NFL, College BBall and Football
3-5% on Soccer and MLB

[hubie69]

Read up on some Kelly criterion, then come back and ask additional questions as necessary

[doublej95]

I always bet between 2% and 3%.

[milwaukee mike]

for me it depends on a ton of factors
1) how confident
2) am i hedging 1st half or plan to hedge 2nd half
3) is this offsetting contest/points/etc plays
4) is this to quickly use up a rollover or scalp or offset to get bonus
etc etc

so my "average" can be anywhere from $10 to $3000

[NOYEBOY]

1% usually - 2% if I am very confident - 3% once in a blue moon

[jjgold]

2% most of time

[FR3SH like UgHH]

i have a bad case of the "phil ivey" syndrome.....

my bank roll every week since i have an online acct is $1000...

but i make bets between $100-$1000 and might bet it all at once if i like a play...
