Quick answer: Bankroll management means staking so you survive losing runs. Set aside a fixed bankroll you can afford to lose, stake a small fixed percentage (1–3%) per bet, never chase losses, and track everything. A unit is usually 1% of your bankroll.
Staking plans compared
- Level staking (recommended), the same unit every bet; lowest variance.
- Percentage staking, a percent of current bankroll; slower to recover.
- Martingale (avoid), doubling after losses guarantees ruin on a long losing run.
