Bankroll Management for Sports Bettors
How to protect your betting bankroll and bet sustainably for the long term.
What Is a Betting Bankroll?
Your bankroll is the total amount of money set aside purely for betting. Never bet money you cannot afford to lose.
The 1-5% Rule
Never stake more than 1-5% of your bankroll on a single bet. This protects you from losing streaks wiping out your funds.
Flat Staking vs Variable Staking
Flat staking (same amount per bet) is the safest approach for beginners. Variable staking based on confidence works if you have a proven edge.
