What amount is your wager

It's called your base unit rook.

Mine is $100. 

Same

sometimes i bet $100 

but i get the thrills betting a lot more 

- rook 

Your 1 unit plays should be only 2% of your working bankroll.

See a game you really like then play 2 units (4%).

See a game you really love, and you are on a good winning streak, then play 3 units (6%).

If you can't pick your nose (this happens to everybody now and then) then take a few days off or start tailing another handicapper who is hot.

That's how you gamble.  By staying alive.  Keep your "thrills" in check 

I’ve been getting Hammered on the Recent

not talking Baccarat or Craps Backgammon Scrabble or some Sequence

Seriously manic

Tragic with the descent 

indecent of me to mismanage the Bank it happens Bust and Re-send

Green Presidents I’ve set a precedent what an Obscene mess

and ain’t no Kleenex gonna clean this get a Gun and peace Friends

Finite it’s the End

See you in Heaven this Disease Stress and Bleak Death

Never again

I’m incapable 

it may be a day late but this is an April Fool......

If you make a Bet and you ain't got a Thrill............you ain't betting enough.

I try to maintain a 20 a game

. Bet big games I hold the line a 200 total bet with props such as superbowl.

Or with exotics in horse racing. 

Buy in for a sit and go under 30 player poker tournement . I keep a standard rule no more than 100 on any normal tounement no more than 1000 on a larger wsop wpt ect event.

It is what it is . 

My anus

Sound off if your base units are greater than $1,000 

I've been gambling since age 10, over a half century, and they haven't crushed me yet.

If you are throwing up dime wagers then you'd better have a $50K bankroll.

5 bucks and if i win the intial bet let it ride and if i win that back to 5 bucks

@ginx

Been laid off since this Covid19 started, have not had to pay but down to 20 bucks a game, big business using this virus to screw workers, many more could be working but they are using this to see what can be done with the least amount of workers.Its all a game to the Elected and the Owners and we are the pawns,Social Networking has made it easy for Social Experiments and the virus is being used to tear a bit more at Middle Class.

But they are right,2% of your BK is what you should play and flat betting keeps you from going broke.

@JEG53

I was actually going to start a thread to see if the whole covid crisis has affected your bankroll as it has mine but I'm pretty sure it's just more than just you and me 

Depending on the time of the year and the sport involved I usually bet anything from £30 to £70 ( $41 - $96) rarely go higher probably only 5, 6 times a year

was doing quite well in NHL in February and early March but withdrew winnings to pay for some random $hit. This would not happen if circumstances were normal 

Hoping to keep my MLB funds separate and make that compound interest on my winning parlays 

More on baseball totals than any other sport. Always looking for under in 1st 5 and/or full game. 50-100/gm on multiple games/night

Happy Easter an good luck to all my Covas Bruthas!

@I-Got-5-On-It

 GL to you,baseball is the best with lines.

The 2% rule is the golden rule. In stocks I am 5% max invested in any one company. readjust every year, take money off the table when You are supposed to. Always protect your bankroll in whatever your doing in life. Great discussion as in all things that we back with our money has risk.

Rule #1 ----- Protect your Bankroll at all times.

Rule #2 ----- Refer to Rule #1.

 learn how to read the lines ,  Find a game  , put your rent money on it . 

like your shit Spock

at least theres some of us that can proudly claim a positive net worth in sports betting  

Figure out the amount of what you unit is. 

Bet 1-5 depending

Keep accurate Stats! Use Excel sheets (maybe separate, if you're not a whiz at Excel) Find out what you're good at. You cannot be a master of ALL SPORTS.

You cannot bet every season. If you're at college football, doesn't mean you'll win at NFL.

If you're good at blackjack, but suck at poker, what do you play?
