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.
The truth is that the most players cannot be satisfied with the low profits they could make by betting such an small amount of yours bankroll.
In other words.. they go for all-in! They would rather lose their entire balance in just a few games than to keep make several smaller bets with a tiny profit.
I'm a person who sets a monthly spending goal and always try to place bets in such a way that can play with a certain routine in days... if I spend everything at once time, I'll have go many days without being able to bet again.
And in reality, 1%-2% is extremely lower, but I see the advantages of this as the drastic reduction in impact of consecutive losses, the possibility of continuing to bet calmly without emotional pressure... and time to adjust strategies while there is still time to maneuver.
