45sDirectly addresses a common fear and curiosity among bettors, creating immediate relatability and engagement.
▶ Play ClipThe video presents a step-by-step plan for rebuilding a sports betting bankroll from zero, based on the speaker's personal experience of losing everything multiple times. It emphasizes disciplined bankroll management, learning from losses, and a conservative approach to avoid going bust again.
The speaker has gone to zero multiple times early in his career due to lack of bankroll management, playing parlays, and behaving like a losing bettor.
Quoting Einstein: doing the same thing and expecting different results is insanity. You must identify and fix why you lost.
You need a job to generate income. Use the 50/30/20 rule: 50% needs, 30% wants, 20% savings. But here, 20% goes to bankroll instead of savings.
Build a starting bankroll of $250 to $1,000 from your paycheck allocation before placing any bets.
Start with three bets daily, each at 5% of your bankroll. This is aggressive but necessary to grow a small bankroll and avoid frustration.
Once you reach $1,000, switch to 1-2% unit size. This conservative approach makes it nearly impossible to go to zero again.
Stay disciplined and conservative. Avoid chasing losses. Ups and downs are normal; stick to the plan.
Set a realistic goal of 55% win rate (not 60%) to avoid disappointment. Focus on gradual, autopilot growth.
Review every loss to see if you missed a stat or made a mistake. Some losses are just bad luck, but learning from errors improves future bets.
Rebuilding a bankroll requires a job, disciplined savings, aggressive initial betting, and a conservative pivot at $1,000. Learning from losses and maintaining the right mindset are crucial to avoid repeating past mistakes.

10:28[00:00] what would you guys do if you lost all your money sports betting if you went absolutely down to zero what would you guys do what's up guys frank with linemaker sports here now this is what this video is about if
[00:12] over how would you redo it because honestly guys betting where i went all the way down to zero
[00:24] then had to go all the way back up again all right it happens a lot so i know exact thing that i went through as well all right so what i would do personally if i went down to zero lost all my bankroll
[00:41] and had to start over again also if you guys do like these videos make sure you subscribe make sure you guys subscribe to this channel if you want to become a better sports bettor and
[00:55] in the description as well if you guys are interested in line maker sports our the link and check out our website also if you need a sports book to bet on
[01:07] one we have partnered up with bet us all anywhere in the u.s you can bet using bet us
[01:19] all right so without further ado i'm going to jump over to the whiteboard and if i went down to zero and came back up so let's jump over to the whiteboard sports here now here we go let's talk about it
[01:34] go all over again with the new bankroll everything all right this happened to me multiple times early on in my career as a sports bettor now reason why this happened was because
[01:47] didn't use bankroll management was playing parlays didn't have enough like a losing sports bettor all right like 99 they're for that 99 to try to get you guys
[02:02] to do the right thing all right so early on in my career easily was just throwing money away left and right kept going back down to zero i keep losing what am i doing wrong well here's the thing you always got to
[02:16] and you got to fix them because famous quote like albert einstein once said different result is absolutely insane all right because
[02:29] the reasons behind why is this not working you got to be able to figure out you got to figure it out all right so let's figure it out for or are on the brink of starting over all right let's get to it so
[02:46] first thing i want to talk about now is if you got because there's how else are you making money there's no other way you're really making money so you should have a job now the job is when you take your
[03:00] or two weeks or however you get paid split it up now you might see a 50 30 you but you should have 50 of your paycheck
[03:14] goes to your needs 30 goes to the things you want 20 goes to savings usually so we switch that up now and we're going 20 in your bank roll because your bank roll can be a savings
[03:29] savings account but you get better roi on a bankroll betting on sports than you it just sits there that's why we switched this out and
[03:42] we're showing you guys that it is bankroll first thing gotta have a job to have a job to start off everybody starts somewhere money put it aside to do something else with it all right it's just a vehicle a
[03:59] that's all it is 50 30 20 rule as soon as you grab your paycheck 50 goes to your bills 30 goes to you having fun going to getting what you want treating yourself a little bit 20 is gonna go to your bankroll all
[04:15] right once we hit that mark then we're gonna move on and we're gonna to start from nothing now your second thing is you're gonna want to save anywhere from 250 to a thousand dollars in that savings account all right
[04:31] you're just in there building it up and you keep going and keep going and you're going to get anywhere from 250 to thousand all right from your mistakes all right because why do you want to
[04:49] keep going back to zero again and then doing the same thing over again learn you have to learn from what you did critique it and try to avoid that as soon as you critique it and you try to
[05:06] progress all right guys here we go so number let's go and let's play some bets all right how are we gonna place these bets
[05:18] three of them we're gonna stay disciplined here right we're not gonna go crazy and we're gonna bet five seven ten games a day we're not slowly bring our bankroll back to a steady
[05:34] level off point which i'll get to but to start it off three bets per day and let's try to go at five percent your unit size which is a little bit risky but if you have a 250 savings that you're
[05:46] so we're going to be a little aggressive in the beginning here we do want to build like if you're doing one or two percent and we only got a 2
[05:58] 250 bank roll you're not getting anywhere really right off the bat like here and there and then you'll probably get frustrated and you'll probably tilt or do something stupid again so we don't want anything that's going to trigger
[06:11] and we're going to bet three games per day five percent of your unit size and let's try to get this up a little bit let's bake let's get that bankroll we're never gonna have to worry about getting back to zero ever
[06:28] again so number four now once we get that bankroll to a thousand bucks all right we get it up to a thousand or more so that's why i got plus 1 000 here when we get to that i got this in bold
[06:40] level off all right guys that means we're gonna take the conservative our foot off the gas a little bit hit the one to two percent unit size and roll with that the reason being is because once we reach this threshold
[06:55] that we don't have to worry about going to zero ever again reason why is because one to two percent of your bankroll as your unit size when you have a thousand or more now there's two things that can happen
[07:10] to make this totally disappear for your bankroll to totally disappear happen again to you in your whole entire sports betting life first thing is you make a mistake do not go out and and do what we're
[07:27] need to chase your losses of what happened using what we tell you with the unit size but somehow you go on a roll of
[07:41] losses or so that's pretty unheard of though guys that's just something that's uh kind of hard like you got to be on a pretty cold streak to be hitting 20 25 straight losses because that's just
[07:54] you to zero all right so we're not saying it's totally impossible but it's you lose your bankroll now once you've reached this threshold now another thing
[08:06] that comes down to mindset all right your mindset very you got to think you got to stay disciplined all right if you don't doing again you're just going to go off the wagon and you're going to go
[08:21] get your mind right get your mind right all right guys you got to know you got to stay disciplined got to stay consistent with bankroll and keep it going and you got to stay conservative now
[08:36] because once you're conservative you're not going to lose this all right there's going to be the ups and downs that always happen in sports betting all right there's there's going to be ups and downs it's going to happen you're
[08:50] long as you still have those days and you don't aren't zero and don't have you're going to be all right all right you're going to be able to build this up
[09:03] and you're going to be pretty confident in your sports betting game again and you're gonna realize that it is possible to make money at sports thinking uh sports books are just out to kill me they're out to
[09:17] it's just you got to change the mindset guys all right change your mindset think on the positive side because when you
[09:29] once again number four once we get to a thousand or more as our bankroll and just cruise so it's very important this is the turn point
[09:43] you should never get back down to zero ever again so we're gonna aim for 55 all right very conservative number there
[10:00] we aim our goal is to hit 60 but what we're doing here we're chilling it out a little bit why because you're starting over from zero so we're not setting this humongous goal that we're gonna get disappointed
[10:14] mark and we're gonna try winning at that slowly gradually like i said autopilot now i do advise this is very important thing in this step too
[10:28] while you bet your three bets per day or however you're doing it there's gonna be days you go two and one three and oh oh and three
[10:40] gonna come you're gonna there's gonna be losses when those losses occur you have to critique these losses and see where you went wrong you have to know that if did you miss a certain stat when you
[10:55] were researching these games did you bypass something that was very important and you missed it and it caused you to lose that match or to handicap it the wrong way you have to be able to look at your
[11:07] a bet you just turn your head and you're but you have to look at them and be like why did i lose let me see why i lost now could be no reason honestly there could be
[11:22] all right this happens all the time as well believe me this has happened so many times to us that it's incredible all right you made the right bet you still end up losing all right
[11:39] that is part of the discipline strategy there because as soon as that happens i was on the wrong i was on the right side of the bet i can't believe i lost that just because of something stupid how did i lose that
[11:53] now you're internally you're like oh man your mind's going and you're like oh i shut it off just completely forget about that all you gotta just realize you were probably on the right side of that bet
[12:08] that's just the way it goes but for those losses that are substantial that uh you can look and critique really and you got to see what's up and the reason why it really happened you really have to
[12:21] go deep down in the stats and check it out for the reason why and that could help you for future bets alright for future games
[12:33] and you could realize believe me because when you do this you'll be surprised that you actually um you actually see that you overlook looking at anything before you make any of these bets
[12:48] because you should be doing research if you're not doing then it's our responsibility right so just like if you're doing it on your own
[13:00] where your losses came from all right and why did you lose those bets very important because you could learn from those once you learn from those oh i overlooked the points per game defense
[13:17] to always look at that when i'm when i'm handicapping that game that that defense was so shitty and then i look
[13:29] winning them all right so very important thing to do you review them and see exactly why you lost that game all right guys so as for
[13:42] and one of the most important things is learning from our losses once we learn from our losses it will help us enjoyed that video and were able to grab some value from that
