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 positive changes that you can make by following your bankroll can prevent you from allocating extra time to the game. It also tempts you to limit the amount of money you allocate to gambling because they do not want to cross their boundaries. How you align your plan should be a consideration when managing your bankroll well, such as a portion of discretionary income or your floating cash. The ideal consideration for gamblers should be to allocate a portion of discretionary income for gambling and to set strategies for entertainment.
I think you should not be strict with yourself/force yourself because the possibility of getting positive results by imposing something against your mind is much less. For example if you apply strictness to the bankroll rule regarding gambling it will be considered easier to violate it. You should apply the right strategy with mental preparation to comply and give more priority to controlling yourself.
