Most follow the 2% to 5% rule, which sounds smart… until you realize 2% of your $100 bankroll is just two bucks. Yeah, real thrilling, might as well flip a coin and buy a soda with the winnings.
I’m not gonna spend hours coming up with some perfect bankroll strategy if my stake is so small it’s basically pocket change. maybe, in slots or other casino games you might still get some thrill, but in sports, where you sometimes wait hours just to know the result, a $2 bet just isn’t worth my time.
No offense to small bettors, but that’s just me. If I’m gonna sit through a whole game, I’d at least want the stake to be big enough to make my pulse move.
