Bankroll management
Also known as: Bankroll, Money management
The discipline of allocating a fixed pool of betting capital across bets to maximise long-run growth and minimise ruin risk. Common rules: never stake more than 2-5% of bankroll on a single bet, separate betting capital from living expenses, log every bet, treat winning streaks as variance not skill. Bankroll management is what makes a marginal edge cash out; without it, variance kills even profitable strategies.
