Topic: Bankroll! - page 4. (Read 612 times)

With all these questions, all I can imagine is you see sports betting as similar to investment which is not.

I don't really play to bet on sports like that and myself rarely bet on sports and it will be only for short for specific game(s) and win or lose just celebrate and then move on.

But if I may ask, is bankroll a factor that guarantees profit?  Because I literally don't think so, as rather profit is a product of both lucky and your gambling experience (skill),  and as such anybody can use any bankroll, inasmuch as you are able to come up with a well-strategic betting plan, coupled with luck, then you are likely to win good sum with the least deposit.. Hence, having a huge bankroll, with a targeted expected profit which you intend to make in a year do not guaranteed you gonna hit such target. Inasmuch as gambling is a game of luck

There is no exact number of how many people can afford to start because any gambler who is just starting out definitely has no limit on the amount of money that can be determined and on average they use more.
Personally, for now I will probably only use an amount of money that I can afford to lose so I don't have certainty because the amount depends on how much money I have left over, but it is definitely never more than 20% of my monthly income.

Honestly, I skeptical about the hope of profit from betting because it cannot be obtained for sure and of course if you expect too much it will only bring disappointment and possibly depression.

I don't know whether I will win and get profit on every bet, but what is clear is that whatever the result is, I accept it happily.
So, whatever the amount of profit or even loss, I will be satisfied with the result because from the start I didn't expect too much from winning and accepted losing.

That's true, if you are ambitous enough to make money in gambling, you should start with a decent bankroll as that would make you serious with gambling. It's not about having fun anymore, it's about using your skills to be profitable in gambling, with $1000, you can win $1000.. it's still sounds so realistic, but having $100 to win $1000, thats kinda hard to achieve, you need to be extremely lucky to get that amount.

Maybe for you it's like that, but for me it's more than enough, because in my opinion, even if I bet a large amount, I don't think it's guaranteed that I'll win easily, and on the contrary, no matter how small the bet amount is, if I'm lucky I'll definitely make a profit. Also the aim of playing is different which makes me set a budget in gambling, most people gamble with the aim of multiplying their money and this is the main thing, different from me who plays just to find fun in it where the main aim is not multiplying their money, because I already know the chance of winning in gambling it is very small, but the chance of losing in gambling is greater.

So do you think that if you really want to gamble to make a profit you have to deposit a minimum of one thousand dollars?
But does that guarantee that it will be easy to win? or will you get victory?
People who bet large amounts are likely to win, because I think they dare to take the risks involved in gambling, therefore they are not reluctant about the amount they bet.

Believe me, anyone who has a betting session will always hope to make money in their betting session. especially, if you actually win. however, if the mindset is to gain consistent profits, usually the opposite happens.  In the end, someone will be trapped in their mindset of getting consistent profits. then, plunged himself into something that was almost difficult to make happen.


Everyone has their own limits, some are consistent with the bankroll they have set. some are random according to the situation and financial conditions. there are also those who just have fun with minimum deposit limits and play with the lowest bets. usually, most types like this prefer the parlay option.


To be honest, I can't answer it or even simulate it. because, I play just to do what I like. the point is, winning or losing is something normal and I never even calculate profit or loss.
So far, I bet nothing to lose. the concept is to have fun, but there are methods or variables that we use in sports betting to minimize fatigue. which means, we have to research and analyze apart from other knowledge and understanding. so far, I'm satisfied with what I'm doing. sometimes winning, sometimes losing. the point is, in sports gambling you don't really rely on luck. so I often win, as well as lose.


As for increasing our bankroll, it is usually done at certain moments. whether it's a match in the final round of a league competition or a world cup and something involving prestigious matches. well, I have answered for ands from my personal perspective.

I’m definitely new to gambling, but even I understand that $10 is too small a deposit to count on any profit. You probably play just for fun and it is obvious that this is the amount for you, that will not be difficult to lose.

I always thought that players who expect to make money in gambling should have a gaming deposit at least close to a thousand dollars. But if it’s just for fun, then the amount can be any.

to answer the following questions of the OP :

it depends on my weekly budget, but usually, i can say 5% of my weekly earnings, 10% tops. if i still exceed on my max amount, it means, there are serious consequences that i need to face with. and that will be for sure a torture week for me. so do i really want to go thru such process, such mental punishment on myself? or would it be easier to just keep my head clear on my games and stop when i need to? i guess, i'll  just go for the latter then.

this is hard to determine as this is a very subjective one. it depends on how much i am putting to my bets the whole year. since each week varies, then i couldn't calculate the actual expected profits. also, as i am not counting about my profits, but my max limit per week, i wouldn't know this part.

of course, i will be content with whatever profits i will make, because we have no choice, right? we can't dictate the outcome of our bets.
not increasing my bankroll if i can't afford it. this is for me a non negotiable one. it means, i have a lot of important things that will be taken for granted or not paid if i will follow myself. and it surely means, i am being selfish because i am only thinking of my own happiness and neglecting the welfare of my family.

The gambler who can handle their emotions in the gambling will do the right things at the right time.Because keep playing is alone not the good gambling,the gambler should ready to stop in the particular situation to cash out their winnings along with the deposit money. If you keep playing the game after the winnings,it the luck was disappeared.Then the game may change in the negative manner,So the outcome will be the negative one.So the experience gamblers also use the cash out option after the winnings.

The gamblers also choose the single game to keep their continuous winning by the good knowledge in a single game.Playing multiple games are not the good option,use single game and more initial to get the good results from the gambling games.

$10 will be okay for me to start betting on sports betting.

I don't know because I don't chase the profit.

It is hard to increase my profit on sports betting because I think it needs more skills to win many matches. But I am happy with any profits that I can win.

I like sports betting, not because I'm looking to make a profit there because it's clear that neither gambling nor betting is an activity that can multiply your wealth or your money. The reason I do sports betting, especially on soccer matches, is because I really like this sport. By making a bet, it makes me even more excited when watching a soccer match because the betting in it is very adrenaline-pumping and gives an extraordinary sensation when watching the match. It's different when I just watch without betting, I feel a little empty when watching it.


I only bet on the amount that I am ready to lose. And at the moment I can only afford to lose money at the highest amount of 10 USD.

I don't really expect much from the betting or gambling that I do, because this activity is nothing more than entertainment.


When it comes to profit, of course I don't feel satisfied because neither betting nor gambling can provide a sizable profit, except if I really get lucky and am quite skilled in making bets. And at the moment I never think to increase the amount of bets I spend. Because that will only increase the loss rate.

Around $5-$20, and it used to be higher because I still prioritized profits back then.

I don't set an expectation on how much i'll be making because sports betting can be unpredictable, and having an expectation could unnecessarily put you under pressure.

I'm always happy with my profits even though it's not much. Better avoid that greed before it backfires.

1. $100
2. Dont anticipate, it would really just that make you desperate
3. There would really be a specific bankroll for each session, if you do win then you should know on when to stop and if you do have some loses then call it a day and dont pursue even further.

Play on the amount on which you can afford to lose and never ever make yourself that having those delusional thinking that you could really be able to take up some advantage
over or against the house or even playing with those strategic things wont really be giving out a guarantee that you could really be able to win.
This is why you should really be that realistic on whatever things that you do have in mind.

Financial handling or management would be crucial on gambling world but if you dont really care on losing and you are really just that doing for fun
then it would be your own choice yet this is really that something that right to be done so.

Having the thought that by getting involved in gambling games the person will be able to make profits is definitely a very dangerous thought, that person will put in an amount of money and will keep making profit plans and in the first game in which that person makes a bet they will losing, in the second game that this person bets on, they will also lose money and even if in the third game that this person manages to get it right, they will still be at a loss, this is because in games of chance the house always wins, no matter how much a person is smart in sports betting, even so in the long term this person will not be making a profit, gambling is not an investment



It doesn't matter, you can have 1 million dollars and someone else has 1$ and is betting with 0.1$ on each game while you are betting 100,000$ on each game and at the end of 10 games both players will have 0$ bankroll. . The reason is simple: in the long run the house always wins. Imagine how many games with good odds a person would need to get right in order to be able to come away with a profit? There are a lot of games and they have to be games with odds from 2.00 upwards, and we all know that games with low odds are not profitable in the long term and that games with high odds are much more difficult to predict


As I said before, no one can make these types of plans in gambling and achieve the goal they planned, in the end the only calculation the person will be making will be how much money the person lost, how much loss the person had in the real world. . People need to look at reality and not deceive themselves


I play for fun, I don't expect to make a profit because this is not something easy, the only way to make a profit in gambling would be to be lucky enough to win a lot and stop playing, as long as people are playing, they won't make any profit, but they will be having fun, that's the good part about gambling

There is no consistency in making money out of sports betting unless it is an insider job. This aspect is out of your control. The consistency here are in - reducing your losses that is overall, more wins than losses and consistency in strategies.

I started with just $25 dollars and wagered 5 dollars on four games per week.


Because of consistency in strategies, I made up to $1000 profit in the first year.

I was contented with my profit and didn't increase my $5 on four games per week for 18months. It was after then, I gave it a thought to increase my bank roll to $30.

I don't think there's any template for that. Because it depends on the style of each player. There are many similar threads given here, but there is a point that I always remember, which is to use a maximum of 10% (lower is better), of the income you have, as long as it doesn't cause you trouble. But, this can be difficult to implement, because there are many gamblers who cannot accept losing. So he adds limits even to the conditions there are no limits anymore, because they are can't control himself. This is what should be avoided. So, if you feel 1% is the maximum you can use for gambling, then that's the template you should apply.

I haven't thought about it this way. Is there a template that I can use to determine what the best amount could be used? Like in how many percent would be the best one?

My additional question is, has anybody done this type of gambling in a year? And had resulted in profit?

I set a gambling budget of $10, because with that amount for me it is enough to do gambling and it is enough to pay for my desire to gamble, because if I set a higher gambling budget I am not ready to take the risk. so with the budget that I have set I think it is more than enough. for my own profit I don't think about it, even if I get a win, of course I will cash it in and if I lose I don't continue gambling because I already know the results will probably still lose so I stop there and come back later after a few days or a few weeks later.

Even if the profit is small for people who have a good mindset it is quite satisfied, but maybe for people who do not have a poor mindset  for them small profits cannot make them satisfied and make them always gamble to pursue bigger wins in order to get big profits too.

For me, $20 is enough to bet on sports betting, especially if I bet too much. That $20 might still be there for a week or even more, depending on the match going on.

I never have expectations about how much profit I expect in a year. I am still far from other gamblers in that they definitely use more and can place bets with big money. That's why I only use small money to bet on sports betting.

At least I am satisfied with what I get from sports betting. I never thought about increasing the amount of money to bet. That would only increase my number of losses and I didn't want to do that.

Investing in sports betting, did I hear you right.
Investing with betting has a very big difference, both also have different risks.

Not much, just a small portion of my income. If I succeed in winning the bet, I can use the money to place bets on other matches. But if I lose, I will try to place a bet of the same amount next time.

It is very difficult to determine the expected annual profit from betting, when you walk on two equally sharp sides, only luck can bring you a profit.

I always walk slowly to maintain financial stability. Increasing your bankroll is not a solution to getting bigger profits, what if after increasing your bankroll luck is not on your side, of course this action will make you fall into a deeper hole.
