Bankroll management. Bankroll management is the discipline of setting aside a fixed betting fund and sizing every bet as a small, pre-agreed fraction of it, so that no run of losses can do serious damage.
Even a bettor with a real edge loses often; what ruins accounts is stake size, not strike rate. Flat staking of a few percent of the bankroll is the usual baseline, with proportional schemes such as fractional Kelly for those who trust their probability estimates.
