How Much Do You Bet?

Im just wondering. I usually bet small, max $50, mostly $20 though. I see people betting $400 on games like its clockwork. i dont believe it so just curious.

50 on teasers or parlays, 100 straight plays, and about once a week I'll go 150 or 200 on one that I love.

average plays are $100-$300, big plays $400-$600 and anything above is a rarity and I must like it a whole lot.....I think you can tell those who exaggerate and those that dont

It's all relative man. For some people, $100 is a huge amount to bet on a game. For others it is not. Just bet what you are comfortable with.

it's all relative to the size of your bankroll, personally I wouldn't bet over 5% of my bankroll on any one game
