Tell Me Something And Be Truthful....

What is you wager size?

Be truthful!

I have a feeling there are a lot of guys who feel like they are weak because they don't bet much, and feel that they can't match up with the big hitters. I think that is crap! Your bet size should mean nothing, and not make you feel less of a contributor here.

My wager size is 1 unit =$100.00. I`ll be a little more or a little less depending if I`m hot or cold.

Myself it depends, I consider it recreation, I don't want it to affect my nerves or sleep if I lose or win, it'll be more around 10-20-30$, I've went as high as 300$ once or twice though.

spread out over a few books it comes to like $160.

If I have my 3 major outs at the same number I'll just bet $50 at each book, and i have another book that has like $100 in it that I'll bet $10 just to chip up or bust out.

If 2 have -3 1/2 and 1 has -3 I'll just put $100 on the -3.

I have a bunch of rollover at 3 books I need to clear so that's why I bet 1 game at 3 books sometimes

I'm betting tequila shots and beer this year. So far it's working out okay for me. Alcohol won is better than alcohol bought.
