"Bankroll" is usually a term used in sports betting. From what I've read in some of the threads here, we need to be disciplined in managing our bankroll, typically betting only 5% to 10% per wager. So I'm curious: do bettors here really set up a bankroll first before they start gambling, or do they just gamble whenever they have available money?
Please share your experience whether positive or negative and what you learn from it.
Always!!!
I have a monthly bankroll and I use it as the days go by.
I confess that sometimes I spend it all in a single week and have to stop playing for a long time, but fortunately, to this day I have managed to be very disciplined about this and not spend more than I planned.
It is very important for everyone to have a bankroll management system, as it helps minimize losses, especially in those games where it is easy to quickly lose your entire balance in a few bad bets.
However, it is not just about managing losses, good bankroll management also helps maximize winnings, as with a well-defined betting strategy you can make informed decisions about when to increase bets and when to be more conservative.
Obviously, it all depends on discipline and emotional control... Because there is no point in putting together a plan if you bet impulsively and with irrational decisions.
