Here's my story
Here's my story
Usually $15-$25. That's puny, but I just like having something on the games.
I'll put $50 on the superbowl. I've put $100 on some fights.
I have about a $3K bankroll that I've built from scratch playing poker and it would probably be about $4K right now if I never bet sports. I've never had the desire to increase my wager because I still don't feel confident enough in my capping (for good reason) to bet more. I'm still not convinced sports betting can be beat without putting in much more work than I have the time/desire to do. I'm a much better card player than sports bettor.
The roll is for gambling (I don't spend it on anything), and my wife doesn't care about it or know how big it is, but if I lose it all, she wouldn't like me re-upping from the bank account. Most of it is online (Paypal -- paradisepoker -- SIA), but I also have a stack of $20's at home that I only touch when playing cards. Also, I bet with a friend, not a bookie, but I've cleaned him for a while now, so the 20's don't go out to him, they come in.
I've never been broke, and I could replenish that roll in less than a month (pending spousal approval) if I so desired. The dumbest thing I could do would be to take myself out of poker action because I lost too much playing sports.
There ya go.
