I will finally join betscorum this week too. Two key concepts for successful sports-betting are the betting plan and betting journal. This is my betting plan, I hope it inspires you to make a plan too and maybe you find some ideas that will also work out for you.

I am very excited about my start in betscorum. This will be my first time that I start with a proper plan from scratch and I also do track all my bets right from the beginning. I am also excited because on betscorum I will not be betting against a bookie, but against other bettors and this is new for me.

Bankroll management

The bankroll management will be a little bit more complicated than usual, because of the conversion time from SP to SCR. I plan to convert 1% of my SP every week into SCR to have some funds for betscorum. As soon as I hit the 1000 SP mark and become a Pro, I will convert the SP above 1000 as soon as possible to reach 1000 SCR for my bankroll. I made some calculations and I think I should be able to reach 1000 SP in Mai.

When my bankroll will reach the goal of 1000 SCR, my standard stake will be 10 SCR, thus 1%. Until then, I will place 0.1 SCR bets until I can apply the 1% rule, meaning I can increase my stakes as soon as my bankroll is over 1 SCR. The small stakes at the beginning will also give me some time to get used to betscorum.

I do never put more than 10% of my bankroll at risk at the same time. This means I have to start with only one bet at a time.

Bet types

I don't know betscorum yet, so I will not set limits for the bet types. I want to be free to try different types and after analyzing my results, I will see if I have to focus on certain types only.

Odds

My bets will begin at odds of 1.75, but the goal is to be between 2 - 2.5.

Competitions

The same as for the bet types. I do have better knowledge of certain competitions, above all La Liga, but if I see some attractive odds for other competitions I will give it a try. I will probably be betting only on Champions League, La Liga and Premier League, though.

Feedback

What do you think about it? I feel like I forgot something, I expected the plan to be bigger than that. However, I can't think of anything to add. As I have to begin with very small stakes, I have some time at the start until I can start with some decent bets, so I have some time to find out what it's missing.
