Calculating your sports betting bankroll is essential for effective money management. Here are some guidelines:
1. Determine Your Bankroll Size:
-To make money in sports betting, you’ll need a stake of at least $500, preferably $750 to $1,000.
-Why? Basic point spread bets cost around $11, which represents about 3% of your bankroll.
-It’s advisable to wager no more than 2% to 6% of your roll on any single bet.
2.Bet Sizing and Risk:
-With a $500 bankroll, you can place 45 bets at $11 each.
-Aim to win 60% to 65% of your bets (the average winning percentage of successful professional sports bettors).
-If you achieve this, you’ll have $609 in the bank after 45 bets.
Optimal Bankroll Formula:
Optimal Bankroll = CS × LLSe × RC
Where
- CS: Confidence Score (your confidence in your bets)
- LLSe: Longest Losing Streak Expected (based on historical data)
- RC: Risk Coefficient (percentage of your bankroll you’re willing to risk per bet)
Remember, effective bankroll management helps you stay disciplined and maximize your chances of success! 📈💰
