created a topic NBA Bankroll Management 2017
in NBA Betting
(Posted the same thing in NCAAB forum where I started posting plays on 3/5.  Going to start the same thread in all appropriate forums)

Hello all - I've been betting (i.e. losing) on sports for the past 12-14 years.  I am convinced my losing is due primarily to my lack of discipline.  I've never tracked my winning percentage, but I'd guess it to be around 55-58%.  My problem is I will get on a hot streak, then double or triple my wager amount and eventually lose all my winnings....plus some!

My reason for starting this thread is a feeble attempt to create some discipline (i.e. accountability for myself).  I will post all of my wagers on a google spreadsheet (let me know if you want access).  I will post on here occasionally, but don't have time to login and post every play.  

My simple plan is to bet 2% of my bankroll on every play.  My bankroll for 2017 is $10,000.  I will update my wager amount every Monday - based on my current bankroll for that week.  

Based on some potentially bad math.  If I bet an average of 15 games per week with 10% juice, here's where I should end up at the end of the year (with 43 weeks left in the year).

55% winning percentage (1.65% gain each week):  $19,957
58% winning percentage (3.54% gain each week):  $44,632

I bet primarily with a local and in Football and Basketball I get 5% juice, so actual results will vary.  

Onward...


First NBA plays:
Pacers -5.5
Nets -1.5
Rockets -7.5

Current NCAAB record:  55-46 / 54.5%
Total Bankroll:  $11,294

I don't understand the theory that you have to only bet a select number of games to win in the long run.  What is this "perfect number" of games?   If you win 55% of games you bet, it doesn't matter if wager on 20 games or 200 games....you're going to win in the long run.  

I assume the primary argument against betting in large volume is you can only find a small percentage of spreads/totals that you deem to have good value.  I would argue against that...especially in college athletics.  

Are there any other arguments against betting a high volume of games?

On to day 5.....
