Flat Betting on BetOnGame
Last month, BetOnGame online analyzed betting patterns of our most profitable players. Result: 68% of them never risk more than 3% of their bankroll on a single bet. They use flat betting – the simplest way to stay in the game long-term.
Flat betting means you wager the same percentage (1-5%) of your total bankroll on every bet. Win or lose, the percentage stays constant. Your account grows when you win, shrinks when you lose, but you never blow everything on one bad decision.
Why BetOnGame Players Use Flat Betting
Picture this: your bankroll sits at $1,000. You spot a “sure thing” – Liverpool at home against a relegation candidate. Confidence sky-high, you drop $300 on it.
Shock result: 1-1 draw. Your account just lost 30% in 90 minutes.
Next day, panic mode kicks in. You need that money back fast. Another $400 on a “can’t miss” bet. It misses. Now you’re down to $300 from $1,000 in 48 hours. Sound familiar?
Flat betting prevents this death spiral completely. Here’s what changes when you bet a fixed 2-3% per wager:
- 1. Your account survives losing streaks. Even 10 consecutive losses at 2% flat only costs 20% of your bankroll. You stay in the game. Without flat betting, emotional decisions drain accounts in days.
- 2. You eliminate tilt betting. Lost a bet on a last-minute goal? Flat betting removes the temptation to chase losses with bigger wagers. Your next bet stays at the same percentage – no exceptions.
- 3. Profits compound automatically. When your $1,000 bankroll grows to $1,500, your 2% bets increase from $20 to $30 without any extra effort. Winners keep winning because bet sizes scale with success.
According to European Sports Betting Research (2024), bettors using fixed percentage systems show 3.2x longer account lifespan compared to those betting random amounts.
Which Flat Betting Percentage Should You Use?
Your experience level determines the right starting point. BetOnGame supports both approaches through flexible betting limits.
Conservative Approach (1-2%)
Start here if you’re new to sports betting or want maximum account protection.
Who this works for:
- • Betting on BetOnGame for under 6 months
- • Still learning how to analyze matches
- • Want to test strategies without major risk
- • Comfortable with slow, steady growth
Practical example: $500 bankroll → $5-10 per bet Win 15 bets at 1.90 odds using 2% flat → +$142.50 profit Even 10 straight losses → Account still has $410
Use BetOnGame’s statistics dashboard to track your win rate over 50+ bets. Once you consistently hit 60%+ winners, consider moving to 3%.
Aggressive Approach (3-5%)
Move here only after proving consistent profitability at lower percentages.
Who this works for:
- • Demonstrated 60%+ win rate over 100+ tracked bets
- • Specialize in 1-2 sports (football, basketball, tennis)
- • Understand value betting and line shopping
- • Accept higher variance for faster growth
Practical example:
$1,000 bankroll → $30-50 per bet Win 15 bets at 1.90 odds using 5% flat → +$675 profit But 10 straight losses → Account drops to $598
BetOnGame’s live betting features work particularly well with aggressive flat if you specialize in in-play markets. Focus on one sport where you can react quickly to momentum shifts.
Important: Never start with aggressive flat. Build your bankroll and track record at 1-2% first. BetOnGame’s betting history export helps you prove readiness with hard data.

Common Mistakes to Avoid
Even experienced players fall into these traps when starting flat betting:
- 1. Changing percentage mid-streak. Your flat rate stays constant regardless of recent results. Lost 5 bets? Keep your 2%. Won 8 straight? Still 2%. Only adjust after analyzing 100+ bet samples.
- 2. Betting on unfamiliar sports. Just because the platform offers ice hockey doesn't mean you should bet it. Stick to sports where you understand team dynamics, injury impacts, and tactical approaches.
- 3. Ignoring bankroll decreases. Your flat percentage applies to current bankroll, not starting amount. If your $1,000 drops to $800, your 2% bet decreases from $20 to $16. Recalculate before each session.
- 4. Chasing "guaranteed" parlays. Flat betting works for single bets and disciplined parlays. Don't pile 8-leg accumulators at 5% flat thinking odds compensate for risk. They don't.
BetOnGame’s bet slip calculator shows exact payout scenarios before confirmation. Use it to verify every wager matches your flat percentage.
