Set Your Bankroll First
Your bankroll is money set aside purely for betting, separate from everything else, and money you can afford to lose entirely. Decide the figure before you place a single bet.
Choose a Unit Size
Most disciplined bettors risk 1–2% of their bankroll per bet. On a $500 bankroll that is $5–$10 per bet. It feels small — that is exactly the point.
Expect Losing Runs
Even a strong strategy will produce long losing streaks. Flat staking at 1–2% means a ten-bet losing run costs 10–20% of your bankroll rather than wiping it out.
Use the Tools
Every licensed bookmaker offers deposit limits, loss limits, time-outs and self-exclusion. Setting a deposit limit on day one enforces your own rules when discipline slips.
Review Monthly
Check your results monthly, not daily. Daily swings are noise; monthly trends tell you whether your approach is working.
