Bankroll management is the single skill that separates players who survive long-term from players who blow everything in a single session. No strategy works without it.
The 1% rule
Never bet more than 1% of your total bankroll on a single bet. With 500 USDT total bankroll — maximum single bet is 5 USDT. This gives you 100 bets before going broke — enough for any strategy to produce results.
Session bankroll management
Separate total bankroll from session bankroll. Never deposit your full bankroll at once. Session bankroll: 10-20% of total bankroll. If you lose your session bankroll — stop. Come back tomorrow.
Stop-loss rules by game
- Crash auto cashout: 25% of session bankroll
- Blackjack basic strategy: 40% of session bankroll
- Roulette progression system: 30% of session bankroll
- Dice flat betting: 25% of session bankroll
Win target rules
- Conservative: 20% profit on session bankroll
- Balanced: 30% profit
- Ambitious: 50% profit — leave immediately when reached
The biggest losses happen when players who are winning keep playing until they give it all back. Win targets are the rule that prevents this.
