Hey folks, sorry for veering off the basketball court for a sec, but I couldn’t help but jump into this bankroll convo. Splitting your cash for smarter bets is something I’ve messed around with a lot, and I’ve got a simple way that keeps things steady without overcomplicating it. I usually think of my bankroll like a deck of cards—you don’t throw the whole stack on the table at once, right?
For basketball bets, I split my funds into three chunks: about 60% goes to my core bets, like spreads or moneylines on NBA games I’ve researched hard—think teams with solid trends or matchups that scream value. Then, 25% is for riskier plays, like parlays or player props when I’m feeling a hot streak or see a weird line. The last 15%? That’s my safety net. I save it for live betting or to cover a bad day so I don’t wipe out.
This setup keeps me from betting too big on one game, like going all-in on a coin-flip over/under. It’s not perfect, but it helps me ride the ups and downs of hoops season without losing my shirt. Curious how you all juggle your funds—any tricks that work for you? Again, sorry for the detour!
