Guideline 1: Gamble no more than 1% of household income
Don’t bet more than 1% of your household income before tax per month. For example, someone with a household income of $70,000 before tax should gamble no more than $58 per month.
Recently I decided to risk only 1 percent of my gambling portfolio into each bet. This makes my bet risk free as I know that even if I lose the bet i will lose only 1% of my gambling money.
Do you guys also follow a similar strategy like gambling with 1% or 2% on each game? This way not only we are safe from losing big amounts but at the same time, we never find ourselves in a situation where we go all in, in some bet and then have the fear of losing all of our money.
You must have heard 1% strategy in trading, the same can be applied in gambling too and believe me, you will feel a lot more comfortable using this 1% of your money in every game.
This also gives you a lot of games to play before you end up on your money as on every bet you will use 1% of your money. In case you lose all bets, you will be playing 100 games because your money is exhausted.
The Lower-Risk Gambling GuidelinesUsing 1% strategy in gambling is fine as long as your sole purpose is just to entertain yourself, and that you're okay whether its a loss or win. However, from my own experience, betting a very small amount is not challenging at all, maybe because I still have this urge to win decent amount in gambling at some point. I'm actually betting 5% once or twice a month from my monthly salary, and that's never an issue if ever I lose them all.
However, we all have betting preferences in gambling. And what works for me might not work for you, so if you are still starting to explore gambling, using 1% strategy is really fine.
