📊 Percentage Stake
🎯 What is Percentage Stake?
Percentage Stake is a strategy where you bet a fixed percentage of your current bankroll. As your bankroll grows or shrinks, the bet amount automatically adjusts.
Stake = Current Bankroll × Percentage / 100
Example: $1,000 bankroll → 2% = $20 | $1,200 bankroll → 2% = $24
⭐ Why use Percentage Stake?
Automatic Growth
When your bankroll grows, your stakes grow with it
Loss Protection
When the bankroll shrinks, stakes automatically decrease
Simplicity
Clear rule: always the same percentage
Discipline
Eliminates emotional decisions about bet amounts
