Just be honest here. I want to hear from those with experience who see gambling as a long-term activity. Even if your bankroll is smaller, I’m sure you still dream of big wins, which are more feasible with a larger bankroll. Do you really believe it’s possible? If so, share how you’d approach it- everything from setting your bankroll to your wagers and managing the pressure throughout that year.
I think most gamblers would believe that they could turn a $1k bankroll into $10k after a year, but the reality is they fail to do this. They are more likely to turn $1k into -$10k but most will forget their losses because they are only doing it for entertainment purposes and it is a reasonable tradeoff for them to make. If this is how someone wishes to spend their money, that is completely up to them. Bookmakers are very good at analyzing statistics and this makes them hundreds of millions a year in profit, they are not a charity after all but a business that is trying to make money. Anyone that does make consistent wins will be limited and this can make it impossible to hit targets like the one described, even if you were better at guessing outcomes than the bookmaker.
