When you go to place your wager at the window, you have two primary options: Bet to Risk and Bet to Win. While it isn’t a difficult concept to understand, how you apply it to your bankroll can make a huge impact. Let’s look at both options.
Bet to Risk is simply placing a bet and having the juice (or plus money payout) applied to the amount of money bet. Let’s say you take a moneyline bet on the Lakers at -150. You bet $100. If the Lakers win, you win $66.67 and get your initial $100 back for a total of $166.67. Of course if the Lakers lose, you get $0.
Bet to Win means that you are targeting an amount you want to win on the bet, and let the current odds dictate how much you have to risk. In the example above, if you wanted to win $100 on the Lakers at the same odds, you would need to risk $150 at -150 odds.
Because sports bettors have both options, you are in control of which type you choose. But, it is important to keep in mind that while you have control, knowing what situations to use each is critical.
Using Bet to Win can be helpful if you are trying to target a specific dollar amount to increase your bankroll to in a short time period. You simply pick your action and go with this option. Using Bet to Risk is the option most professionals use because it allows them to keep better bankroll management with standard bet sizing. While the standard juice, or even larger moneyline odds will dictate the amount won, using Bet to Risk will keep your bankroll safer because essentially you won’t be chasing profits with longer odds.
