Bankroll Guide
Bet size scale
Each percentage is a share of the bankroll for that sport at the time of the pick.
| Bankroll | Bet level |
|---|---|
| 2% | Minimum bet |
| 4% | Standard bet |
| 6% | Strong bet |
| 8% | Very strong bet |
| 10% | Maximum bet |
Reading the stake
Each official ticket shows its recorded odds, the percentage of bankroll allocated and the dollar stake. Stake equals the bankroll used for that ticket multiplied by the stated percentage. A 2% stake from a $5,000 bankroll is $100.
Open and settled bets
Open stakes reserve funds until the tickets are settled. A win adds the net profit; a loss deducts the stake. Pushes and voids return the stake.
Separate records
Each sport has its own bankroll, picks, results and betting record. Straight-up picks and method predictions are tracked separately from official bets.
Fair odds and market odds
Fair odds express the estimated probability behind a prediction. Market odds show the quoted price. Official results use the recorded ticket price.
