For a $100.00 bet for me, the odds might be like lower, or at least 1.3x. I wouldn't risk that big amount if the chance of the team to win is very low. Of course, the higher the risk the bigger the reward but this is sports betting though. You really have to be smart in order to stay long in the game.

A 50-50 chance is not very low, don't you like odds of 1.90? Sometimes I might bet around $100 to $200 on a single game, but the effect is different, especially if I lose, so I opt for a slow grind, which results in less stress while gambling and follows the right approach by strictly adhering to bankroll management; that's all I want, although I don't always follow it consistently, actually.

I myself still stick with low bets but with odds increase options such as using multi bets and with low bets can provide quite pleasant win and can still provide adrenaline to the thrill of excitement to finish it.
Betting with larger amount can indeed make more money when win but it will be difficult to really accept defeat because we also know that when bad luck comes there will be series of lost streak.

I read on a post here that some people stick to a low monthly budget, so I assume they're just placing minimum bets, since some bookies have a $1 wager minimum. I'm curious though: does anyone still get excited with such small bets?

For me, my wager isn’t strictly a percentage of my income, I might bet anywhere from $10 to $100, and that really gets me pumped. The bigger the bet, the more thrill I feel. So, what's your average wager size?

That is my minimum bet at least $10.00 for a single. But if I'm feeling lucky or if I'm confident that the teams that I pick will win the game, then I will go and increase it at let say $20.00.

For a $100.00 bet for me, the odds might be like lower, or at least 1.3x. I wouldn't risk that big amount if the chance of the team to win is very low.

Normally gambling is not something to rely on, it's essential for us to always gamble what we can afford to lose because is just a game of luck no two ways about it. At least as a good gambler 1% or 2% of your income is more better than putting yourself in high risks, then at last you ended up losing all at the same time. Although it depends on your monthly income, but even as that I think the best way is to gamble responsibly.

The question is: how much do you wager per game? Instead of saying "1% or 2% of your income" which doesn't tell us much since we don't know your income, try giving some actual numbers. That way, the OP and everyone else in the thread will have a better idea of your wager range.

I won't talk about numbers or percentages, but I would say that the ideal is to never commit any amount that is necessary for you to pay the monthly bills, build an emergency fund and guarantee a future income (private retirement).

Other than that, you can use up to 100% of the amount you spend on other entertainment such as beer, movies, football or concert tickets, fast food, etc.

Obviously, you need to have a balance between social activities and gambling, but the money that you would already spend on other "non-essential" things can be freely used for betting. But obviously this is just my opinion.

That said, I can say that I spend a "moderate" portion of what I earn in crypto on my bets. It is an "extra" amount, since I already have a good reserve of BTC and I continue to invest with some regularity in HODL.

I do. I gamble to enhance the entertainment value of the sport itself. I consider myself competitive in nature so winning $1 or $100 it spices up the game for sure. I dont gamble to try to offset my income its purely entertainment though. So yeah the size of the bet does add but im still excited when i win jist a small amount. I mean its better than losing a small amount lol.

For me, it depends on the situation. I don't follow the martingale system; I base it on my gut feelings and recent results. Sometimes I bet from $5 to $20, but I find there is an excitement when you bet all in win or lose; its a scenario where you are in the middle of losing and winning that you decide to just put everything in one bet; if you win, you call it quit and log off and enjoy your winning; if you lose, you log off and try to shrug the loss.

If you are betting for the fun of it, then I don't see using a very small amount to be a problem. Som long you are able to make some winnings and enjoy each rounds that comes with unexpectation. Someone receiving a very low amount of monthly income shouldn't even be gambling in the first place. They should prioritise to their needs to their urge for gambling. Having the wrong mindset that they can make good and quick money through gambling would only put them tomorrow rik of being broke. So yea, it shouldn't be something to worry about if one has to manage his risk

I agree on the bet range, for single bet, it's good to have like $5.00 bet, but I guess for some that $10.00 could be a big deal already. But for parlay, that is my minimum though, $10.00 and if you have like 5x or higher multi bet, that is going to be a great hit.

Of course everyone can bet $10.00 or more for a single bet, and maybe around 1.5 to 1.8 odds is already good for that kind of stakes.

I haven't bet $100.00, for me that is too much and I can't afford that. And if I'm not mistaken, the biggest bet that I have for a singles is $20.00 in NBA when Dame is still in his prime with Portland.

I don't make enough money to wager much but I can spend $10 - $50 which is my average and also my maximum at the same time because if I go beyond this I might remain in regrets for months and that's not a good.

It's rare to get excited with the amount you wagered rather I only get excited with what I'm expecting in return but if it ends up in my court then I will even be much more excited.

On average, I bet about $10 to $20 per wager, though that can change with my income since I don't have a fixed monthly salary. Honestly, even smaller bets give me a thrill. Maybe some people get an extra rush when they bet a significant amount, even if it's riskier than what they're used to, as long as they can afford to lose.

In the end, a thrill isn’t worth it if losing leaves you feeling terrible. We have to stick with what we're comfortable with. If we're really aiming for bigger wins, we have to grind it out through the process.

There must be people who get excited with such small bets, and this is because these are people who the amount of money expected to be won still excites them, and the amount of money expected to be won from the small bet is an amount of money that they are not used to getting, an amount of money that is big to them.

For those who bet with small amounts and are not excited by the amount of money expected to be won, you can usually find them accumulating a lot of odds from so many games, making their chances of winning less likely.

I rarely bet on sports but when I do bet it is usually just $10 to $20 and I usually bet on the team or athlete that I like, so when I do bet the excitement doesn't really just come from how much I bet or how much I could win but also from the athlete or team winning too since I support the athletes or teams that I bet on.

Betting amount is subjected to individual risk and tolerance level or index, most times people are always strict to the amount they used in gambling especially someone like me. Whatever amount I used in gambling doesn't affect or even effects me whether win or lose, just that I sees it as something I can be able to risk or tolerate when lose it or win from it because lot of people can use any amounts to gamble and this is explicitly to their own abilities of lose or gain. The more exciting the winning could be the more effective the lose could be as well so the best is just use what wouldn't affect your overall thinking if definitely you lose it.

I don't think excitement comes from how much you have wagered, to be honest, if i wager too high, i would feel no excitement, what i will feel instead is anxiety and worry. I like to wager an amount i can freely lose, if i cannot freely lose $300, then i would not wager such an amount, i would not want to lose sleep because i lost money to gambling. I feel excitement when i gamble on big odds and i enjoy doing it.

I think I have come to understand that no gambler that sticks to a specific % budget in the long run of their gambling experiences.

Instead while adapting to a budget and as the intention is to keep an effective bankrolls, we have just all only wager with the amount to be affordable to lost.

It is just all about determination and discipline to keep it going responsibly whether you carve a budget of it from your income or not.
Conciousness literally serve it all better.

I think when you bet often you don't even realize how much you bet even if it's not in crypto. You see 100, 200, 300$ or Tether and you don't realize that you are likely to lose this amount of money, even several times if you get a bad streak

To start with, I don't even deposit my weekly gambling budget into my betting account at once, which could have made it easier for me to decide how to use the funds per bet.

The excitement usually comes from how much I use to wager in a game that gives me a return which I don't expect, like my winning amount usually excites me the most, more than the amount I use in placing the bet.

I can place a bet on a game with as low as $0.1, as I'm mostly a fan of using casinos that allow me to deposit with my local currency; the bet minimum is always on the lowest.

Happy New year 🤗

Of course, it brings more excitement if you bet higher; it's also thrilling and scary, depending on how much you risk.
$1 in some countries is still a big amount, so the excitement also depends on where you live.

$100 is pretty huge I don't bet such a big amount in a single bet. My limit is around $25 or $30. It only increases higher when my friend shares a bet on the same team.

Some people can go up to 5% which is still good, depend on the amount of money you receive as salary or wages but going higher than that is not advisable at all.

5% weekly and 20% in a month that's too much. I think 5% to 8% in one month is fine it won't gonna hurt your pocket if you lose them compared to 20% of your monthly income.
