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.
This is what I also struggled with a lot back then, despite having several successful runs. It's always easy to lose composure in the middle of your runs and have a meltdown until you bust your bankroll. I still can't forget that one unfortunate sequence where I got a bit greedy and didn't want to end my day on a bad note, so I decided to play one more, indirectly triggering the cycle that I wasn't prepared to experience. Others might not find it fun, but for me, it's not too bad once you get used to the slow approach and are satisfied with smaller winnings instead of trying to double your way with a few big bets.
