How to use proper money management:
How
to use proper money management
by
Jim Campbell of Footballforecastor.com
I recommend wagering NO MORE
than 5% of your bankroll on any one game,
period. Most of your wagers should be within the 2% to 3% range,
I have found that the very best way to protect your bankroll
is to incrementally raise or lower the amount that you will wager by
"Percentage of Bankroll".
For example, lets say that you have a starting Bankroll of $5000,
this should be an amount that is set aside and dedicated to nothing
else but sports wagering, don't fall into the trap of the ordinary
"Joe Public" type of gambler that does not start
the season with a "Dedicated Starting
Bankroll" and instead find themselves dipping into
their mortgage or rent payment or car payment and before long winds
up playing with "Scared Money"
because they know that they can not afford to lose, this type of
gambler usually ends up digging a hole for themselves that they can
not climb out of!!
When utilizing the "Percentage of
Bankroll" concept that I mentioned, a top play
selection would be 5% of your starting bankroll, in our example
let's say its $5000, thus 5% of $5000 is $250.00, a medium play
would be 3% of your starting bankroll, but most plays should fall
into the "Regular" or small selection status of
only 1% or 2% of your starting bankroll.
Each week your starting Bankroll would be different because of how
you did the previous week , therefore, each week your wagering
amounts which are based on "Percentage
of Bankroll" would be different.
In closing I would recommend either using a "Flat
Betting" system which means that you wager the same
amount on each contest but is still based on percentage of bankroll
and self adjusts each week based on your new starting bankroll.
Or use the incremental system of 5%, 4%, 3%, 2%, 1%, with the vast
majority of your wagers falling into the 1% or 2% range to wager
different amounts on different games, but keep in mind that the top
wager is still only 5% of your bankroll, remember this simple rule
of thumb and it will keep you out of trouble my friend!!
Using either system as I have outlined will keep your bankroll safe
and sound over the ups and downs of a long season.
Our goal here at www.footballforecastor.com
is to hit the 60% win mark year in and year out with our NFL and
college football selections, in the big picture few handicappers are
able to achieve this lofty goal on a consistent basis. I shake my
head in wonderment on how they get away with such outrageous claims
when I see the Saturday morning scam-you-cappers on TV or in the
advertisements listed in the USA Today newspaper touting win
percentages of 75% or 80% over the course of a season.
The simple truth is that only the very best handicappers
consistently produce seasonal results that fall within the 55% to
60% range much like we do here at footballforecastor.com year in and
year out, my advise to all clients is to use extreme discipline in
the amount of games you wager on each week, you must also adhere to
good money management techniques in order to get through the peaks
and valleys of a long season.
