Bet frequency optimizer
Sweet spot for bets per month β between sample size and tilt risk
Calculate the optimal monthly bet count for your edge level and psychological tolerance.
Why bet count matters
Too few bets and your edge takes years to prove statistically. Too many and you over-pick marginal value, tilt, and burn out. The sweet spot is enough bets to feel the edge with manageable variance. This calculator runs the binomial math to suggest a monthly count given your edge. Pair with Streak survival probability to see what variance you'll face and Tilt detector to monitor psychology.

How to use
- 1Enter your verified edge per bet (%).
- 2Enter your bankroll.
- 3Enter your tilt tolerance (low / medium / high).
- 4See recommended monthly bet count and reasoning.
Example: 3% edge, β¬5k bankroll, medium tilt tolerance
3% edge, medium tolerance: recommended 60-80 bets/month. Below 40/month: edge not statistically clear for 6+ months. Above 100/month: marginal value picks creeping in, variance becomes severe. Sweet spot ~70 bets β proves edge in 3-4 months while keeping variance manageable.
When to use
- Building a sustainable betting routine
- Choosing between fewer high-quality vs more average bets
- Planning sample size for edge verification
