13. Have fun! If you don't have fun. STOP!
Now this maybe sound confusing, but it's much easier then you think, I been in the sportbetting business for many years.
Farm your way up, start low and safe as I said. Bet $20 and try to make it to $100-$150 in two different bets instead of try to make $20 to $150 in a single bet, it's to risky and much harder then the other way that you research a game and bet $20 and settle down with a 2x-3x odds I would prefer a double and then do it again, and that $20 will turn into $150 in a much easier way.
Then it's up to you how high you want to go and how much you want to spend on each bet, but this amounts is normally what I use. I normally make a cash out when I reach over $100 and then I try to go high with the remaining balance.

It seems, if this is what you do, it's exactly the same as what I did. in sports betting specifically on football, I prefer single bets. of the several leagues that I follow, I only choose the ones that I think are worthy and ideal for betting on. You don't need much, 3 games is enough. if it's more than that, maybe 5 matches. the rest, I ignore. or, just monitor the match results then check the results and analyze again even though they are not included in the betting options.
This is important, because at any time I can use the data and statistics in the next week's bets perhaps. the point is as you wrote in your long list, I am not inclined towards one betting option. for example, 1x2. if that is the ideal choice, I am willing to take that bet. but always go through the selection process first, never once do I not involve research and analysis. in fact, it can happen repeatedly. because at any time there are many things that we do not expect.
Well, for me personally, I don't really like odds below @ 1.5+. at least, @1.7+ in general. example, Mainz vs Bayern. because the odds are not ideal for me with @1.3+, correct me if I'm wrong. there are many options that I can choose from. after I did research many times and analyzed it. I believed at that time Bayern would score at least 3 goals, and yep, as predicted. So, the ideal option that I chose at that time was the -1.5 handicap option with odds @1.8+ being the ideal choice. well, that's more or less my betting style.
So, like I said. just 3 matches, which is usually my choice and that's enough.
As for the parlay option, it is the same as the single bet that I made. the concept is, I don't choose many matches, let alone bet with odds below @1.3+, or @1.5+. there are many options, it can be Under/Over, both teams to score, handicap, or others and all kinds of things. if it's not ideal for me, I don't hesitate to ignore it. every bet I make, the results vary. if lucky, 3 bets, 3 wins.
Of all the types of betting or gambling that I do, football is the most consistent and done with discipline. For me, the results were not that disappointing.
