The basics of bankroll management

Jason Gray • April 20, 2023

What is Bankroll Management and how does it work for sports betting?

Bankroll management is a critical skill for any sports bettor who wants to make a profit from their investments. It’s a system of managing your ‘gambling money’ or ‘bankroll’ in order to minimize losses and maximize profits. In essence, it’s a strategy for controlling the amount of money you put into sports betting.

 

Choosing how much your bankroll should be

When it comes to deciding how much your bankroll should be, it all depends on how much you’re willing to lose. You should consider the amount of money you have available, and the level of risk you are comfortable with.



If you are just starting out, a good rule of thumb is to start with a $1,000 monthly or weekly bankroll. This will give you enough money to play without breaking the bank. You can then adjust your budget depending on how successful your gambling ventures are. It is also important to remember that no matter what size your bankroll is, it's important to gamble responsibly and only bet what you can afford to lose.

So, how much should you bet on each event?

The answer is simple: bet 1% of your bankroll on each event. This is a good amount to start with as it gives you the opportunity to increase or decrease your bets depending on the results of the previous events.


Betting 1% of your bankroll also allows for more flexibility in terms of how much you can win or lose in any given situation. It's important to remember that betting too much can lead to losses and betting too little may not give you enough returns.
