    $500 bankroll. What's the best betting strategy to make it grow?

    Looking for suggestions for best strategy to get largest ROI with least amount of risk. No time frame in place to complete goal. TIA!

    Spread it out on the Super Bowl winner. $100 on each team.
    Patriots, Steelers, Eagles, Saints, Rams. Slight loss on the heavy favorite but I consider it a push.

    yea, going all in on a spread may not be the best bet.

    if you are using a service then only play their plays and their money management system. You are paying them for a reason.

    If you are playing the games yourself then play 2-3% per game. With a $500 bankroll that’s not sexy but it’s a marathon not a sprint.

    Thank you for your insight. I don't think I would ever pay for plays...I think I can find enough value in my own picks

    Grind. Grind. Grind.
    Flat betting $20 with what you like.
    It will take time however that’s the answer.
    The answer is blowing in the wind.

    2 percent of bankroll don't chase don't pay more then -130 hit 55% or better...be like, not the rest of us. Everyone knows how to manage a bankroll it's doing it that's hard. If you don't got the time don't force a bet if you can pass for say a week because a wager didn't meet your criteria you have some control. Treat it like a baby and watch it grow...and if you don't have that kinda patience throw that bitch in the middle and try and get it there. Promise you this though you turn 500 into 4-5 k pushing hard and you will always want to bet that way. Instant gratification it's like a drug, then comes degenerate mode and you will sleep like a baby after throwing that 3k down the toilet on some shitty PAC 12 game you were betting live trying to end the night with a even account balance, that 4981 just wasn't sitting well let's get that 19 and bump it to a even 5....you think I'm kidding, people share this story all the time even if they don't got the stones to admit it.

    Yes coach is right spot betting...every well trained gambles sees that one game every few weeks and nails it...it's the everyday action that buries most.
