Here’s a detailed bankroll management system for sports gambling with three tiers—Safe, Risky, and PureDegen—using a unit betting approach. The system is designed around your specifications, including unit size adjustments, odds ranges, and the use of multis (parlays) to optimize returns. Let’s break it down:

General Rules for All Tiers

1. Initial Unit Size Calculation:

   • Your unit size starts at 1/50th of your initial bankroll (e.g., $1,000 bankroll = $20 unit).

   • Unit size adjusts dynamically: Recalculate your unit size every time your bankroll increases or decreases by 10%. For example, if your $1,000 bankroll grows to $1,100 (+10%), your new unit size becomes $22 ($1,100 / 50).

2. Odds Definitions:

   • "Safe Bets": Odds between 1.70 and 2.25

   • "Moderate Bets": Odds between 2.25 and 5.0 

   • "Long Shots": Odds above 5.0

3. Multi (Parlay) Strategy:

   • Multis can be used to combine speculative bets with a "safe bet" (1.70-1 to 2.25-1) to reduce the unit size needed for equivalent returns. For example, a speculative multi ending with a safe bet might only require 1/10th of a unit to match a full-unit payout.

​

Tier 1: Safe

Philosophy: Protect your bankroll while steadily growing it through disciplined, low-risk betting.

• Unit Size: 1/50th of your initial bankroll, recalculated after every 10% change.

• Betting Rules:

  • Safe Bets (1.70-1 to 2.25-1): Bet 0.5 to 1 unit. Use 1 unit for high-confidence picks, 0.5 for moderate confidence.

  • Moderate Bets (2.25-1 to 5-1): Bet 0.25 to 0.5 unit. Use 0.5 unit sparingly, only for strong value.

  • Long Shots (5-1+): Bet 0.1 unit max, treated as speculative fun bets.

• Multi Strategy: Combine 1–2 speculative bets (e.g., 3-1 or 4-1 odds) with a safe bet (e.g., 2-1) to create a multi requiring only 0.1 unit to approximate a 1-unit single bet payout. Example:

  • Bet 1: 3-1 ($0.1 unit wins $0.30).

  • Bet 2: 2-1 ($0.30 + $0.10 = $0.40 profit).

  • Total multi odds: ~6-1, $0.1 unit returns ~$0.60 profit.

• Example with $1,000 Bankroll:

  • Unit = $20.

  • Safe Bet (2-1): $10–$20 (0.5–1 unit).

  • Moderate Bet (4-1): $5–$10 (0.25–0.5 unit).

  • Long Shot (10-1): $2 (0.1 unit).

  • Multi (3-1 x 2-1): $2 (0.1 unit) for ~$12 profit.

​

Tier 2: Risky

Philosophy: Take calculated risks with a larger unit size for bigger swings, while still maintaining some structure.

• Unit Size: 1/10th of your initial bankroll, recalculated after every 10% change (e.g., $1,000 bankroll = $100 unit). This is 5x larger than Safe tier, amplifying risk and reward.

• Betting Rules:

  • Safe Bets (1.70-1 to 2.25-1): Bet 0.5 to 1 unit ($50–$100 on a $1,000 bankroll).

  • Moderate Bets (2.25-1 to 5-1): Bet 0.25 to 0.5 unit ($25–$50).

  • Long Shots (5-1+): Bet 0.1 unit ($10).

• Multi Strategy: Same as Safe tier—use multis to leverage speculative bets into a safe bet, risking 0.1 unit for a payout equivalent to a full-unit safe bet.

• Example with $1,000 Bankroll:

  • Unit = $100.

  • Safe Bet (2-1): $50–$100.

  • Moderate Bet (4-1): $25–$50.

  • Long Shot (10-1): $10.

  • Multi (3-1 x 2-1): $10 (0.1 unit) for ~$60 profit.

• Note: A 10% bankroll drop ($900) reduces the unit to $90, while a 10% gain ($1,100) increases it to $110.

​

Tier 3: PureDegen

Philosophy: YOLO. Go big or go broke. This is the wildest tier, blending massive single bets with insane multis. We don't really have rules here, if you feel it, go for broke. PSG shit in the UCL? Dump it all on Liverpool at 2.70. Want a 20-leg 20k-1 milti? Do it. Can't go wrong....Right?

Practical Tips

• Safe Tier: Ideal for beginners or those with a small bankroll who want slow, steady growth.

• Risky Tier: Suits experienced bettors comfortable with volatility but not ready to go full degen.

• PureDegen Tier: For thrill-seekers who don’t mind losing it all for a shot at massive wins. Expect wild swings—$1,000 could become $10,000 or $0 in a day.

• Tracking: Keep a spreadsheet of your bankroll, bets, and unit size adjustments to stay disciplined (or at least semi-disciplined for PureDegen).
