Do you use poker bankroll for sport betting?

In my opinion it's not good to mix things up. You should have a bankroll for poker and a bankroll for sports betting.

In addition, you should control each bankroll, whether playing poker or betting on sports, bankroll control prevents major catastrophes and makes us perform at our best level.

I wanted to say no, but I've already made some bets with poker bankroll, and I agree that it's better not to mix, better to have a "plan" for each before betting out
 
Keep them separate. Easier to track performance and helps avoid tilt.

I only use my bankroll for playing poker. I like to keep them separate so I know where I used what $.
 
Well when you play on PS it's hard to keep track of which is which and I'm not the kind to start making excel sheets although it would def help to keep track one way or an other
 
If I win some money in the poker I use some percentage for sport betting but not more than 30%. In that way my bankroll for poker is not in danger

I don’t think it’s a good idea to bet on sports from a poker bankroll. I am a novice poker player and I have read that bankroll management is very important. We can certainly be in a difficult situation in the long run.
I think sports betting and spider should be chosen separately.
 
For myself I like to use my poker bankroll only for poker. If I try something else maybe it doesn't work as well.
 
I only play poker with my bankroll. A few times I got a free sports bet ticket from PS, only with this I made sports bets. And what happend ?, I won....
 
Hi, I think it's not a good idea to you use poker bankroll for sport betting, because it is more like gambling and predictions, if you want to test it, then please create another bankroll and do not merge them with poker bankroll.
 
I would definitely not use my poker bankroll for sports betting. In fact, I've never been big on sports betting at all. Other than boxing, I wouldn't even make a casual bet between friends on sporting events. I tend to agree with one of my best friends on this subject, that it's hard to put my faith in somebody else's performance, especially when it comes to team sports where one or two players being a little off can affect the outcome of a contest even if the rest of the team performs well.

I have one pot on pokerstars for betting and for poker. At bets, I get a little better than poker, so thanks to the bets I have the opportunity to play poker for money.

There's actually no difference on that front ...

I'd rather use same bankroll for all 3 gambling types: casino, poker abd sports betting - sometimes it can be recipe for disaster but it still sums it up every once in a while whenever i manage to turn 10€ into 102€ with just 2 LIVEBETS for example (like i just did earlier today) 🙂

Just don't mix the two bankroll's ! I like to do a bit of sports betting and it is money totally outside of my poker bankroll.
 
Good morning.I used to but not anymore.After losing some money on sport betting, that I would never lost playing poker , I stopped betting.In my case, poker is more profitable and fun.
 
The short answer is No. I'm no good at choosing bets so I would lose my money much faster that way than with poker.
 
I combine them. I've placed a good sports bet a few times and used the winnings to buy in a poker match.
 
I'm not mixing the two. I play poker from the poker bankroll, I bet from the host bankroll.

Yes, unfortunately I mix them too often. Making me lose my poker winnings in sports betting. It's a bit like keeping both separate to better control your bankroll.
 
I don't like sports betting. Since for this you need to be aware of sports events constantly.
 
I have never bet on sports and I will not. This is a useless and unnecessary waste of money.
