Is your betting strategy set by you… or by your Bankroll?

[len01]

It's not really about the size of the bankroll when a gambler is willing to go all in. It's more about the budget they can afford to lose. For example, a gambler with a weekly income of $1,000 and a $100 bankroll is willing to go all in because they have $900 left for daily expenses. In contrast, a gambler with a weekly income of $150 certainly can't afford to bet $100 and can only afford to go all-in around $5. So, it's up to us to determine the amount we should bet, taking our income into account.

What I've experienced personally is that I've now developed a habit of gambling with fairly large stakes. No matter how much money I deposit, I always bet quite high, while some of my friends who are new to gambling do so with lower stakes. When I see this, I find it frustrating, as I'm probably used to betting high amounts. My mindset is that if I'm lucky, I'll make a profit, and if I'm unlucky, my deposit is gone and it's time to leave.
But for some of my friends, they play it very cautiously, as if they're not prepared for the potential loss and have high expectations for gambling. And I've found that bankroll size clearly influences our emotions and feelings when gambling.

It seems like there's a type of person who doesn't want to enjoy the game and is more concerned with winning or experiencing a quick loss.

That's a personal choice, and I don't blame them. Personally, I've gambled a lot, from large bets to small ones. It all depends on my bankroll. I think that minimizes losses, allowing us to implement various strategies to achieve victory, even over a long period of time.

Well, I tend to agree with what you said. The reason I bet large amounts is so that when I'm lucky, I can potentially win more, as the base bet is large. If I lose quickly, that's perfectly normal, and I stop gambling at that point. My preferred option is to walk away, not chasing wins. And with those who bet small amounts, I think it only slows down the loss. But, of course, that's everyone's right.
Nevertheless, I do it because it's within my means, so even if I do lose, it won't affect me too much. I might be upset, but chasing wins isn't an option I should pursue.

Yea, so in all, the gambler's bankroll size is determined by how much they are earning and how much they have allocated to gambling and how long they want to stay on the game. If the person is earning a large amount, they might risk more and might also want to risk a huge amount for each wagering, another thing that influences how much the person stake at once is the amount they want to win and also how long they want to stay on the game. If someone just want to be quick and then leave, he or she will stake with a huge amount so that it doesn't take too long to exhaust his funds.

So what do you think… does bankroll size actually change your strategy, or could it even affect your emotions while playing?

Bankroll size can even affect as much as behavioural patterns while gambling.  Most often the difference between the big gamblers who are seen as whales and the small gamblers is mainly in their Bankroll strength because it also determines the amount you can win at a time. It is the reason most time it looks like the whales win bigger than the small gamblers does even if they both  place a bet on same game and selection.

I’ve been watching the typical gamblers (small stakes) and the whales (people who bet big), and even though they’re playing the same game (sports betting), it feels like they’re not actually playing the same game at all. Maybe it’s because the bankroll isn’t just “money”, for some of us, it’s like our lifeline, so we treat it carefully, think twice before betting, and aim to make it last so we can succeed.

For example, a gambler with a $100 bankroll might be willing to go all-in, while someone with $10,000 will probably hesitate, value their bankroll more, and use proper bankroll management to make it last, and hopefully succeed in the long run.

When your income is low, every penny matters because when you live from paycheck to paycheck, you don't have enough income to save money for other things and often you have to say no to many other things, so even a dollar placed on a bet matters a lot but for those, who have a huge bankroll, money isn't a motivator and they have enough income to not worry about how much they'll place and whether they win or lose.

In my case, my betting strategy was set by my bankroll. When I was actively betting, I didn't have a huge bankroll, so I was limited in risk and choices. I had moments when I lost and I decided to be more aggressive in betting but in the end, I control my emotions and I don't let them to have a real life influence over me.

It is just one situation that would be true for a part of gamblers. Someone would bet all his money because he sure that he would win, another gambler would make the same bets on all event due to his strategy. Someone would compare his income and bankroll before bet as you said.
There are lots of models of the game and different situation. We can`t find the only solution, we differs.

It’s different when there’s big money involved because even if I’m so sure about a bet.. I would never go all in with something I can’t afford to lose. at the end of the day, it’s still gambling and the outcome is uncertain. Honestly, most of the time in my experience, when I feel too confident about a bet, I usually end up losing. That’s why it’s dangerous, and I think a lot of other gamblers can relate. Sometimes the line can be a trap, when you see a line that looks too good to be true, it’s tempting to take it, but more often than not, it doesn’t end well.

With all said and don't it still hold up to how much we earn even though the income is not a steady flow because nomatter the point of interests we can only wager what we can afford to stake.

Of course gambling bankroll and your plans determines how long you want to stay active. Short time plans will always be hesitating prompting higher wager with the anxieties to see the end shortly.
Long term plans will always wagering little by little so that you can go a longer time active.

[Russlenat]

Long term plans will always wagering little by little so that you can go a longer time active.

That’s really a strategy, it’s not just about surviving but more importantly about winning. With long-term betting, you’ll be able to measure your consistency, and if you’re getting a good profit ratio, then that’s it , maybe next time you’ll even consider increasing your bankroll because you already have confidence in yourself.

Those who are serious about betting usually put up a decent bankroll since they treat it more like an investment. That’s the opposite of the typical gamblers who don’t have a proper bankroll and only treat gambling as entertainment. You can usually tell the outcome just by looking at the mindset of the gambler.

Whale obviously and literally won bigger amount because they stake higher amount that small player.

The difference aside from the size is their expectation on profit amount is higher than small bankroll player. So whale and small gambler feel the same way if they are betting based on the percentage of their bankroll because they have their own self satisfaction on the profit amount.

And again - your words is truth just for part of gamblers. Someone will all-in because he thinks not about possible loss, but about how much money he can get.
As for me - i agree with your words, and, as i said several pages before, i have a calculated bet size and it is just a few percent from bankroll. But it doesn`t mean that all other gambler are so careful.

[Jaycoinz]

It's definitely a function of your bankroll, let's take the martingale strategy as an example you can't use this strategy if you don't have a sufficient bankroll because it would require you to keep doubling and trippling your stakes as you keep losing. This is a system that only those with fat pockets can make use of without it affecting them too much. For someone with a limited bankroll you must have strategies that works with risk management

[Woodie]

Personally my bankroll dictates how the game will go down, the less money I have to play with means am taking less risk as I try to grow my bank by grinding, but once it gets to a certain amount I feel I will play with some freedom, then I move on to a more strategic approach to try make bigger $$$..just like they say no risk no gain and that should be everyones motto especially knowing that that Lambo won't buy itself 

[Julien_Olynpic]

Of course, the size of the bankroll changes our game. And yes, in fact, two players with significantly different bankroll sizes are actually playing different games, even if formally they are playing the same game. A player with a very small bankroll will always have a less than serious attitude to the game. Simply because it is impossible to turn a small bankroll into a very large one for a reasonable amount of money, and there are no such reasonable strategies. On the contrary, the owner of a large bankroll will always be much more cautious in most cases. There are rare exceptions to this rule, which concern rich gambling addicts, but in general, this is not the point. The point is the main pattern. There is also such a type of players with large bankrolls, when a large bankroll was grown from a relatively small one over a long period of time in sports betting. This happens with super professionals and is a casuistic rarity.

Sometimes we go by what we got and that explains our bankroll makes the strategy but in the other hand risking huge bankroll in going all in some gamblers think twice cause it takes just a second to lose it all. Most times the lesser the bankroll the higher the demands and vice versa though I think both categorised gamblers should be more cautious and manage bankroll appropriately.

[Bright0515]

If I have big amount of money that I can afford to risk, it's either I increase the stake or I reduce the stake, the choice is mine. But if I increase the stake I might not last longer before I run out of funds in my betting account and I might not enjoy the fun and you that might actually make me deposit another account if I can also afford to lose more, but if I reduce the stake I will probably gamble for longer period of time before I run out of money and my chances of winning increases. Even if there's no guarantee of winning in gamble, the more you gamble the more your chances to win will increase but if you don't gamble responsibly you might be addicted in the future.

Using small bankroll, we may not think much because we realize the situation. If we decide to go all-in, we will not think much because the amount is small. But if we use big money in gambling, we may think twice about using too big because the chance of losing will be there. We may not think to go all-in using big bankroll because our loss can be bigger so we will limit the use of the money to prevent the big loss. We can adjust our strategy according to our bankroll so we will not lose much. But if you think you can double your money from gambling, you need to realize that will not be easy.

It is just the difference of small & fat bankroll that places you in different game scenarios. A small bankroll encourages sloppy bets, coz do few bucks even matter, right?, whereas a large bankroll makes you more cautious, more methodical & more sensible in your staking. Smart money principles, punters with larger bankrolls tend to stick to more conservative strategies such as a 1-5% per bet so that they can cover variance and not blow their bankroll. imo I think your "super pro growing a bankroll long-term" scenario is pretty legit however only in the case you play tight bankroll principles & compounding in long run and have the guts to be disciplined as hell.

No matter how much bankroll you put in, you still need a strategy you can use consistently. Sports betting isn’t just luck, if you have a solid strategy you really have a chance. The problem with most gamblers is even if they’re good at predicting, they lack discipline in managing their bankroll.

If your strategy says max 5% per stake, then stick to that. In the long run, if you hit more right than wrong, you’ll end up profitable. But those who suddenly increase their stake because they got carried away, that’s when emotions run the show instead of the mind.

For example, a gambler with a weekly income of $1,000 and a $100 bankroll is willing to go all in because they have $900 left for daily expenses. In contrast, a gambler with a weekly income of $150 certainly can't afford to bet $100 and can only afford to go all-in around $5. So, it's up to us to determine the amount we should bet, taking our income into account.

Of course, your income is what determines how much you are willing to use for gambling. Expenses isn't an exceptional. However, the bigger your income, the more flexibility you have to gamble more. A gambler with little income will be very careful on the amount of money that he wants to gamble with in order for him not to have problems with taking care of his responsibilities.
