Does it make sense to bet the same amount for every wager?

Grog · Jun 28, 2007

I know there are several schools of thought on this.

I vary my wagers but only by a little. I bet betwen $33-$110 per wager (very rarely do I bet over $55).

I see many have 5 units plays or the like. Wondering if the serious and successful gamblers are betting the same amount for each game or varying depending on their confidence in the play.

How do you bet?

yes,,,,,,, varrying wagers is a aMUST for any serious capper,,, but even more important is looking for spots to MIDDLE and scalp,,,,

ALWAYS take a tiny profit,,, NEVER let it ride for the HUGE winfall,,,,

thats the TRUE montra of any successful capper,,,

good luck to you GROG

if you see a bigger advantage on a game then yes, bet larger

but what it really comes down to is just doing whatever you are comfortable with, especially if this isn't much more than a hobby for you

IMO the majority (75%) of your bets should be 1 unit (your normal wager amount) and then whenever you see a bet you especially like, just bet however much you feel like its worth

people that have more 3 and 5 unit plays than 1 unit plays are dumb

One of the few advantages we as players have is that we can change the amount per wager. You can go (3W-7L) or 30 % and still come out ahead cause you banged your big one. If you FLAT bet you are giving up your advantage.......doesnt mean you have to use it but if you see something you like, you are not locked into a 1 unit bet . Good day .

Here I am picturing going 7W-3L or 70% and losing money. . .
