Bank Roll - advice wanted please

[Gnorman]

Hi, not sure if this belongs in this forum, if not sorry. For the first time this season my bankroll will be being used for poker as well as football bets and I expect it to fluctuate much more because of this. So I am wondering what kind of stakes I should be using. My football bets are generally singles or doubles and I don't go chasing huge odds. A small priced winner is better than a large priced loser imo. If I stick to level stakes (a fiver, for arguments sake) and I am on a good roll after a few months then winning 10 - 15 quid is not going to seem very exciting. I am thinking of making my stake a precentage of my total bank roll, that way my stakes rise or fall in proortion, but what is a sensible %? I average 2 or 3 bets per week and was thinking of making my stake 10% of my bankroll, is this too high? I don't want to have to keep topping up my bankroll if I can help it (wishful thinking eh! ) Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Good luck one and all for the coming season. Regards, Gnorman

Re: Bank Roll - advice wanted please A generally perceived notion is that you shouldnt bet any more than 5% of your roll on any 1 thing. So I would suggest 5% :ok
