Most bettors don't lose because they pick bad games. They lose because they manage money like they're at a casino.

Here are 3 rules I follow religiously:

1. Never bet more than 3% of your bankroll on a single play.

Doesn't matter how confident you are. One bad beat shouldn't ruin your week. If you have $1,000, your max bet is $30.

2. Track every single bet.

If you're not tracking, you're guessing. You need to know your ROI by sport, by bet type, by month. The data tells you where your edge actually is.

3. Have a stop-loss for the day.

Down 2 units? Walk away. The games will be there tomorrow. Emotional betting is the #1 killer.

I've been profitable for 3 years straight following these rules. The picks matter, but the discipline matters more.
