How My Star Rating System Works
I use a simple, transparent star system so you always know how much I’m targeting to win on each bet:
- 5★ Pick = To win $500
- 10★ Pick = To win $1,000
- 20★ Pick = To win $2,000
The star rating is directly tied to the profit target on the game—not just a fuzzy “confidence meter.”
- A 5★ pick is a strong play, but on the smaller side of my scale.
- A 10★ pick is a bigger position, reserved for spots where the edge is more noticeable.
- A 20★ pick is my highest level, a game I believe is worth stepping out on, with a target of $2,000 profit.
All of my picks fall in a reasonable price range, from underdogs up to about -120, so you’re never laying crazy juice to chase these star levels.
? Important: These dollar amounts are based on my scale. You should adjust the betting amounts according to your own bankroll size and comfort level. Think in terms of units, not just dollars, so whether your unit is $25, $50, $100, or more, you can still follow the same 5★ / 10★ / 20★ structure in a way that’s smart and sustainable for you.
