Bankroll Management 101: Never Bet More Than You Can Afford
Protecting Your Capital is Primary
Professional bettors succeed not by picking every winner, but by managing their funds intelligently. Your bankroll is the money explicitly set aside for betting, and protecting it is your highest priority.
The Unit System
Define your betting unit (typically 1-3% of your total bankroll). You stake in units, not fixed amounts. A '1 unit' bet is for average confidence, while a '3 unit' bet is high confidence. This prevents you from overextending after losses, preventing 'tilt'.
Stop-Loss Limits
Set firm limits: If your bankroll drops by 20% in a week, take a mandatory break. Discipline ensures longevity. Keywords: bankroll management, betting units, stop loss, Kelly Criterion.
