To be honest, i heard that he just tells the tracks who he is going to bet and they just give him 10k not to play the race. He's just that good.

How much can you get from your ATM ? That is how you decide what the bankroll should be

It doesn't matter what your bankroll is. You know you're going to the ATM anyway lol

I'm pretty solid on dirt, but i couldn't pick the winner of a turf race if it was a horse, 2 dogs, 3 sheep, and my neighbors cat.

Like others said, stick to win or win/place bets. While it has been advised repeatedly on this site that w/p are losing bets, and those people saying so are right, I think for a very small bankroll, learning experience and confidence they are a good place to start.

"Practicing" in free online contests is a great way to develop your skill if you need to keep your bankroll low for now. Slowly you'll find yourself making more complex bets when you recognize races you feel confident in.
