📊 Main Bankroll Management Methods

Flat Betting (Fixed Stake)

Always bet the same amount, regardless of confidence in the bet.

Example: $1,000 bankroll → Fixed bet of $20 (2%)
✅ Simple and easy to execute
✅ Protects against losing streaks
❌ Doesn't take advantage of higher confidence moments

Percentage Betting (Kelly)

Bet a fixed percentage of the current bankroll, adjusting after each result.

Example: $1,000 bankroll → 2% = $20
After winning: $1,020 → 2% = $20.40
✅ Grows with your bankroll
✅ Reduces risk of ruin
❌ Requires discipline to recalculate

Kelly Criterion

Mathematical method that optimizes bankroll growth based on edge.

Formula: Stake = (Odds × Prob% - 1) / (Odds - 1)
✅ Maximizes long-term growth
❌ Complex and risky if probability is wrong

🥇 Golden Rules of Bankroll Management

1

Separate bankroll from personal money

Never bet money you can't afford to lose. The betting bankroll should be a separate amount.

2

Never bet more than 5% of bankroll per bet

For conservative bettors: 1-2%. For moderate: 2-3%. For aggressive: maximum 5%.

3

Set a daily/weekly stop-loss

Determine a maximum loss limit per day or week (e.g., 10% of bankroll).

4

Never chase losses

Increasing stakes to recover losses is the fastest path to ruin.

5

Keep a detailed record

Log all bets: date, amount, odds, outcome, and profit/loss.
