Or, this is a much better stratey. No hurry and you'll just gamble in a slower phase without having the needs to push yourself in reaching those gains that you're in sight.
The best plan is to make your job excellent. If it is so, you will get profit. But don`t think about numbers.
I had bad weeks, when i lost more than won, i had normal weeks, when profit was 2-5%, i had excellent weeks, when profit could double my bankroll. Just make your job and don`t care about numbers.
As much as I want to execute the best plan and make it an excellent one, we know that in sports betting it's not always that we get a good day. So no matter how good we are, there's always the time that we'll have some losses. And as much as we want to avoid the numbers, that's actually the goal and subject of what OP has brought so it's kind of important but if it goes that way as you've said, much better to look at that perspective so it won't bother chasing numbers.
When i just planned to start the game, my plan was to compare my monthly profit with my salary. But compare not only salary/profit, but also time expenses. Good result for me would be 50% of salary for the same time expenses after two months of the betting. In such way i can calculate is it a good/effective way of spending time or it would be better to stop the game and spend time in some other way.
