I am new to this but I have been doing a good deal of research lately on value bets. I am limited because I live in the USA but still managed to find 10 games or so today that offered value. However, all the bets would require taking a soccer side on the money line at an average of +300 or so. How much would I need to adjust my percent of bankroll played since I am taking all dogs? I would be more susceptible to long losing streaks, correct? Is 2% still okay?
Thanks

Re: Percent of Bankroll Question
Too much in my opinion. Say you have a 5% edge at +300 odds. 2% is already more than Kelly. In my limited experience American bookies are not that soft. Maybe your edge is smaller or you don't have any. 0.5-1% is better. You should try to find value in handicap lines as you can bet more there.
