Bankroll Management Basics

No analysis matters if you cannot control your budget.

Core rules 1. Decide a fixed entertainment budget you can afford to lose entirely. 2. Never chase losses — this is the fastest way to serious harm. 3. Use flat stakes (1–2% of budget) rather than doubling after losses. 4. Track every result honestly. 5. Take breaks. If it stops being fun, stop completely.

If gambling is affecting your life, seek help through your local support organization. See our Responsible Gambling page.
