What Bankroll means
Your bankroll is the total amount of money you've set aside specifically for betting, kept separate from other personal finances. Proper bankroll management - sizing individual bets as a small, consistent percentage of your total bankroll rather than betting emotionally or chasing losses - is widely considered more important to long-term betting sustainability than picking winners themselves.
