The disadvantage about going smaller odd and big stake is one bad day is enough to wreck 5 days of non-stop profits.
10% of $5000 is $500 x5 is $2500
One day wrong bet and the $5000 capital is gone, you're only left with $2500. Can't even take risks so what's the fun
The fun isn't there and the safer route is still the best choice if there's a goal. So, this solely is in sports betting and both are doable. But we know to ourselves if we're so good in it and I think that the best ones have got a lot of money to stake and lose. However, to the normal folks like us that don't have that much to bet on, given the amount of bankroll for this condition. Many might choose to take it slow and bet only with a couple of bucks for every match that they'll bet.
