53%.....
That’s roughly the percentage of winning plays you need to maintain in order to post a profit making sport plays. This all assuming that you’re betting the same amount every time (1 unit) and no more or less. That’s roughly winning:
2 out of 3 plays
3 out of 4 plays
3 out of 5 plays
4 out of 6 plays…. And so on and so on…..
Now to get those kind of results is pretty impressive and most likely is very possible by a lot of y’all out there. But what if, just what if, someone mentioned that you could be a 33% winner yet still post a profit, 12% on your bankroll to be exact. And all you have to do is win 1 of 3 plays. Well my friends, you can. It doesn’t come without its’ risks, but you can.
So what’s the catch? For starters, your bet will change with every win or loss. You won’t be working with units, more like a percentage of your bankroll. Next, you’ll need to have plays with a juice of -110 or better. -120 is possible but I’d stay away from it. Also, your plays can’t run concurrent, you need to find out the result of one in order to calculate the amount to be bet in the next one. Lastly, and the most important of all, you have to be committed. This is because you’re basically going to put your entire bankroll out on the line over 3 total plays. In other words, if you lose 3 in a row, you’re all done.
Now pro players will tell you this isn’t the wisest thing to do, and they’re correct. But this is a possible way to build that bankroll to get to the point where you might actually get to bet like a pro. It can also be a fun challenge to see how far you can go. I myself have gone up to 27 wins. So…. Without further delay, here’s a way to post a 12% increase on your bankroll making sure you can win 1 out of 3 plays without losing 3 in a row. It’s pretty simple. Let’s use $100 as your starting bankroll.
Your first bet amount will be 13% of your bankroll, $13.
Should that play lose, your next bet will be 28% of your original bankroll, $28.
Should that play lose, your next bet will be for the remainder of your bankroll, $59.
Once you win (and win you will), you go back to the top using your new bankroll for your bet amounts.
Now before you go and start bad mouthing this idea remember, there are a lot of good resources and opinions on the site from professional picks and opinions. And all you have to do is win 1 of 3!!! Give yourself a chance!! Like I said, I had made it up to 27 wins starting with $20.50 of free play from bovada, approximately $430. That’s a whopping 2,032% increase. That would be an end result of roughly $2100 had I started with $100.
If 33% winners doesn’t seem feasible, you can do something similar winning 1 out of 4 plays and post a 5.4% profit with each win. So let’s see how far we can get $100 to go.
