Intermediate bettor checklist
Bankroll boundaries: Fix your unit size (e.g., 2% of bankroll) and resist the urge to chase after a hot streak.
Data hygiene: Keep a spreadsheet with columns for date, league, odds, projected probability, stake, result, and closing odds. Review it weekly.
Edge validation: Only scale stakes when you have logged at least 30 bets in a specific market and confirmed a positive CLV trend.
Weekly schedule suggestion
Monday: Audit last week’s CLV and update league power ratings.
Midweek: Watch condensed matches to refine qualitative notes on tactics.
Friday: Build a shortlist of bets with rationale and pre-set stake sizes; no last-minute improvisation.
