			I wish I had the guts to bet more. My 4th great week in a row. I am in the top 10 of all my double ups and cashing in 3 out of 6 GPPs, with a chance of cashing in a fourth if the Monday night game is high scoring. Serious question, how do you guys bet so much without getting nervous? I seriously go over all my lineups with a magnify glass every week from 11 am until 1pm and am beyond nervous that I have made a mistake.
		
		
	 
I follow a VERY strict bankroll management system and it has done very well for me.  My initial deposit was $20 through this site (to get the free subscription).  I doubled that the first week and again the next week to $80.  Once I got to around $200 I started to read more and more at Rotogrinders.com, learning about bankroll management.
I'm up to $3,900 now (going into yesterday's games) without winning any significant GPP's.  Basically I just grind out H2H's and 50/50's.  Each night in NBA I have 10% of my bankroll in play and each week in NFL I have 20% in play.
I then break it down exactly as follows, not a dollar more, not a dollar less.
H2H = 55%
Double Ups & 50/50's = 35% (I do mix in a few triple ups)
3/5 man leagues = 2.5%
5/10 man leagues = 2.5%
GPP's = 5%
On most nights my cash games are all split between 2 lineups while my GPP's I just throw darts.  My league entries are my cash game lineups as well.  I always throw my 2 cash game lineups in a GPP though, just in case they hit.
Here's the thing.  When I started last year I got up to about $550 bucks.  I felt cocky the week that Jamaal Charles went nuts and scored 5 touchdowns.  I went WAY past my bankroll limit and of course I didn't have Charles ANYWHERE and he was a popular play that day.  Basically I lost about $290 that day, crippling my bankroll.  Since then I have never went past my % limit.  Last week I did terrible, but since I was strict on gambling only 20%, it didn't kill me.
My way takes a TON of patience, but it's much less stressful once you get to higher amounts.  So many of my friends used to say, "But I don't want to only have $75 on the line, I want to bet more!"  Well, they are now jealous that I have over $700 in play on a Sunday.
