What is Bankroll?
Total money you decided to dedicate to sports betting— separate from money you need for living. Bankroll = only money you can lose completely without pain.
The 1-5% Rule — Anti-Bankruptcy System
Never bet more than 1-5% on a single wager.
With 2% on €500 (€10): Lose 5 times in a row → €500 - €50 = €450 (10% lost). You can continue.
With 20% on €500 (€100): Lose 5 times in a row → €500 - €500 = €0. You cannot continue.
What Destroys Bankroll
Chasing — bet bigger to recover losses. Living money in bankroll — bet money you need for life. Betting "sure things" — bet bigger on "certain matches".
If you cant sleep after a day loss, your stakes are too high. Reduce by 50% immediately.
