RE: Betting Strategy | Bankroll Management
Same for poker. By playing with 20-30 buy-ins behind you, you eliminate the risk of going broke. Once you fall below the minimum buy ins on hand, you move down in stakes to preserve your bankroll.
Great advice that allows players to keep on playing even during the prolonged downswings that are apt to occur.
Cheers!
It is very similar to poker indeed!
The interesting difference with sports betting is that the difficulty remains somewhat similar with higher stakes. This also means that you play against the phil Iveys on lower stakes.
I used to play online poker in the past, another big difference is that poker upmoves usually require a x2 stake which doubles the swings. In sports betting, this can be done more gradually.
Poker was a much more emotional roller coaster for me since it felt like working. Losing money while putting in many hours can really be brutal.
