How to use this bankroll manager
Define the money available
Start with a separate amount you can afford to lose through betting. Exclude rent, groceries, debt payments and emergency savings. Enter that rand balance and choose a unit percentage. A unit is a consistent measuring amount; it is not a promise that a particular stake is safe.
Illustrative units and exposure
With an example bankroll of R1,000, a 1% unit is R10 and a 2% unit is R20. The calculation is bankroll × unit percentage / 100. Ten unsettled R10 tickets would put R100 at risk, even though each ticket looks small individually. Count open bets together before adding another position, particularly when several depend on the same match.
Understand the suggested amounts
The output translates percentages into rand and shows larger allocations for comparison. A displayed maximum is not a target or an instruction to stake that much. Your personal spending ceiling can be lower. If losses reduce the example balance to R800, a newly calculated 1% unit becomes R8 rather than R10.
When should I resize a unit?
Choose a regular review point and record deposits, withdrawals and settled results separately. Recalculating after a planned review is clearer than raising stakes impulsively after a win. Never increase units simply to recover yesterday’s losses.
What if the minimum wager exceeds my unit?
Leave the selection alone when the required stake is too large. A small bankroll does not justify borrowing or combining selections to force a bet. Use deposit limits and take a break if the budget stops feeling manageable.
