Reasonable amount to lose per sports wager?

[BMR Genie]

A rule of thumb for most professional sports bettors is to risk no more than 1-2% of their bankroll on any bet. So, if you could lose $1,000 betting on sports and still wouldn't have trouble paying your mortgage or putting food on the table, you'd be fine betting $20 or more per game.

Sounds reasonable.

Best to just win though

I agree with you, Brad. Every penny counts and either if you're a beginner or a big-time bettor, the main goal is just to keep on winning.
