繁體中文Bankroll Management Explained
Bankroll management is simply controlling the money you bet with. It will not make you win, but it protects you from losing more than you intend and keeps betting fun. This guide explains the basics with hypothetical examples only.
- It is controlling the money you bet with — setting aside an amount you can afford to lose and staking a small, consistent fraction of it per bet.
- A common guideline is a small fixed fraction of your bankroll, such as 1-2% per bet, so that losing runs are survivable.
- No.
What a bankroll is
Your bankroll is the money you have set aside for betting — money you can afford to lose, separate from bills and essentials. Keeping it separate is the first rule.
Unit size
A common approach is to bet a small, fixed fraction of your bankroll per bet, called a unit.
Flat vs proportional staking
Flat staking bets the same amount each time; proportional staking adjusts to the bankroll's current size. Both are calmer than chasing — see staking plans for more.
Why it matters
Good bankroll management keeps you in the game through normal variance and stops one bad night from doing real damage. Pair it with deposit limits and you have a simple, effective framework.
