right bankroll management keep you in check

[Botnake]

Have you ever noticed how, even when you think you're managing your bankroll well, you still end up chasing losses, and instead of recovering, you dig a deeper hole? That's usually a sign that your bankroll management isn't as solid as you thought.

Proper bankroll management isn't just about setting limits, it’s about sticking to a disciplined plan. And by “proper,” I mean betting a small percentage of your total bankroll something really conservative, like 1% or at most 2% per bet. If you follow that strictly, you can avoid the frustration that comes with a losing streak. Even if you lose 5 bets in a row, you're not wiped out and you don’t feel desperate. The key is having a plan and actually sticking to it. Most of us fail on that second part.

Obviously, without proper bankroll management, it's easy to get frustrated especially if you're placing big bets.

That 2% rule sounds good in theory, but it really only makes sense if you have a large enough bankroll to enjoy betting. Otherwise, it can get boring over time if you're only playing with small amounts.

Just imagine having a $100 bankroll and you're limited to $2 per bet, that doesn't sound fun at all.

But at the end of the day, it depends on you. If your goal is to train yourself to be disciplined with larger amounts later on, then starting small and strictly sticking to your bankroll management is a good way to go.

It happened to me that when I was gambling, I was losing all the time, I couldn't save myself. And to save more losses, I bet more and still lost, then I started following the right bankroll. I started with 1% of my total bankroll and if I could control myself, then I used the maximum second, third and 4%.
But I must start with a reasonable small bankroll, it is reasonable and easy. To save yourself by participating in gambling according to the bankroll rules, then it is possible to save yourself from the maximum loss in betting, and move on to winning.

I have that experienced in the past but now, I am trying to use bankroll management. I don't want to lose big anymore so I am strictly control my funds to playing gambling. That is because losing big can come anytime so we must be careful and always control our money.

Bankroll management will be needed to prevent the use of the money. We do not know when we lose control because there is a chance to experience that. If we can use bankroll management, we know how to prevent the lose become big so we only playing gambling for fun.

Having a plan will be better to control our gambling activity. That will help us to avoid the big lose but we can still enjoy gambling as an entertainment.

It is important to manage the right bankroll because it is part of strict discipline in good gambling planning, how many people fail to manage their bankroll which ends up being a mess because they keep chasing losses, it seems like it never ends, the more you lose, the deeper you go.

I myself have not seen a record of what the percentage per year is for gambling... what is clear is that currently it is only $5 per week for a bet at the Sportsbook if you lose then usually you will wait until next week, if you win it means you don't need to deposit again and some of the winnings are bet but still only $5 for now.

This is your management method for someone who prefers slots. For other gambling games, microscopic bets may not make sense because there are no huge multipliers. I proceed from the assumption that a gambler's bankroll is not in thousands of dollars, but, for example, is only $50. Bankroll management in this case consists of stopping the game when the entire bankroll is exhausted. Of course, this will not allow you to play for a long time, but if you are lucky, it will bring you a big win.

Well I wanted to implement that yesterday and deposited only 15 dollars, I was lucky at the beginning and got to well over 200 dollars for second time in 2 weeks, I play once or twice a week so it was a big success. Guess what happened next, yes you guessed it right I lost my entire balance and the only positive if I can call it a positive is the fact that I increased another 2 levels at the VIP level in the casino I play lately which is the one in my signature. This shows that it is difficult to have self control when emotions hit you hard and you are winning. Greed most of the times is our hidden enemy which we neglate and then we lose it all.

An efficient bankroll management I believe is your capability to adjust your bankroll depending on what you need. It is not just about being disciplined but being flexible enough that you can change what is needed to be changed immediately before even losing a lot of money.

I guess this mainly refers to sports betting, since it's hard to apply these ideas to other forms of gambling. We have seen many similar discussions, and if there’s one conclusion to draw, it’s that for most people, “bankroll management” simply means keeping overall spending under control.

But only a small number of gamblers are actually capable of any serious bankroll discipline. How many gamblers focus strictly on sports betting and avoid all other gambling games? That’s just a tiny portion of the gambling community. And within that small group, only a few are truly dedicated — the kind of people with a serious bankroll who invest a significant amount of time, energy, and money into sports betting. For them, it's like a full-time job.

While some aim to take their gambling to a more professional level, there are also many of us who simply enjoy gambling for what it is — a form of entertainment, a hobby, something we like to do. And that’s perfectly okay, too.

Of course I have experienced that, I tried to manage my finances well when I really liked gambling, in the end all that failed when I couldn't control myself in the gambling that I did ended in defeat, only that incident taught me a lesson for the future to be more disciplined in gambling, as a result now I feel lucky and successful because I can gamble reasonably without disturbing funds for other needs.

Maybe most people who gamble have experienced something like this.

If you get it right in bankroll management that means that you are qualified to be called a responsible gambler, it takes self control not to be lost in gambling and deplate all your bankroll funds within a short time. As OP noted gambler should pre determine how much they are going to use to gamble before they start, the decision will help them to be disciplined to stop when the amount is finished. No need to refill to chase loses, just stop when the budget finishes, even when you are winning try and stop when budget for bankroll finishes. It is easier said than done for most gamblers but practice and determination will help to increase self control.

This can truly happen to some people but that is because they do not want to discipline themselves or because they are addicted to gambling already which makes bank roll management works for them.

If this is happening to anyone, the person should know that he is addicted to gambling already and should look for ways to solve the problem. Gambling is good but when it comes to you not able to make a responsible decision makes gambling not good at all.

You can’t stick to your limit without discipline. Discipline is the key to following any plan or limit you’ve set. Without it, all your preparations become useless, because once frustration hits after a streak of losses, you’ll likely break them. After draining your bankroll, you will deposit again and again, chasing losses until you run out of funds and have nothing left to deposit. So if you really want to stick to your plan, develop discipline.

Yes you right and well said!
Usually are people who don't stick to their plans, and or that are not well disciplined towards their gambling activities. They usually think that whenever they have allocated a specific amount to gamble for the week or months as per say they wouldn't be that gambling irresponsibly, but NO! That isn't the solution to proper bankroll managements, like I know, there is a difference between bankroll managements and allocation of funds to gamble.

Look at the differences here:
In bankroll managements:- out of the total amount they assigned to gamble for the day, week or month they wouldn't be that too open to gamble with all the amounts they allocated instead out of that money allocated for the week they may decides to use some percentage of that money to gamble for period of hours they are spending on the gambling site than all the total amount allocated for the gambling.

While Fund management is:- It's always advisable to allocate a specific amount from your total inward or income that is coming weekly or monthly to your accounts, this could be, out of that money that is coming as salaries to your account you may used a total of 1-10 percent of it to gamble. When you allocate this amount you wouldn't gamble with it all automatically, this is where Bankroll managements now falls-in.
In your allocation you may decides to use about 1 or 2 percentage of your allocation to gamble just as what op has already said, I just throw more light to what op has already earlier.

You are absolutely right that's the real truth about it because once a gambler develop a good discipline and stick to it, it will be very hard for such person to experience losses in gambling. Because most of the challenges most gamblers are surfering today is lack of not sticking to their words. Honestly, discipline is actually what makes you a good gambler because that is the easiest way to make informed decisions when gambling.

I like the fact that we emphasize more on bankroll management because it is very important in betting. I believe that gamblers dont understand is that when you have more money to gamble you have more options and chances to win. If you finish your bankroll quickly then go after more money to gamble with, it keeps the gambler at risk or under pressure where he can make wrong decisions. A proper bankroll management can help a gambler recover loss because he will be in a balanced state.

Yes, it is important to emphasize bankroll management because it will be balanced with the bets made, I know there are still many people who don't care about their bankroll so they can be blind with the money they have to bet but in the end they will regret it when they have lost a lot.

Until now, I still manage the right bankroll - and that's what will be emphasized to myself in gambling, even though it's stricter I think it would be better to do it like this than not doing bankroll management.

I prefer not to follow this 1% rule, but I have been doing the following: I set aside $10 to be the maximum of my bankroll per week, then I put $1 on each bet. Since I don't place bets every day, I wait for a game that is worth it. In this case, I consider the Premier League, Bundesliga, La Liga and Ligue 1 games to be good games to bet on.

When I get wins and the bankroll value goes from $10 to $20, then I start putting $2 on each bet. If in one week I only place 1 bet and end up with $9, then in another week my bankroll value will be $9. If all $10 were to run out in one week, then in the following week I would add $10.

In terms whereby you have to take/make high risks decision making.So many underrate the discipline that comes with bankroll management.Anybody with a protected and tailored bankroll record,is far away from emotional manipulations and long term risks that he's supposed to encounter.

It really depends on what you are gambling on IMO. If you are sports betting then i'd stick to 1-5% max bet and when I finally hit a winning streak I'll be in profit most likely. If playing slots, sticking to the same bet size on the same slot for thousands of spins is going to result in huge losses. I don't advise playing slots period, just saying different games require different levels of bankroll and bankroll management.
