Seven bankroll tips
- Keep a separate gambling budget. Set aside a monthly amount that will not affect bills, savings or family needs.
- Split it into sessions. If your monthly budget is NPR 10,000, five sessions of NPR 2,000 is easier to manage than one big session.
- Size your bets. A bet of 1% to 2% of your session budget for sports, or enough for 100+ spins on slots, gives you room to ride out losing runs.
- Set a stop-loss. When the session budget is gone, the session is over.
- Set a win goal. Decide in advance when you will stop and keep some winnings.
- Never chase losses. Doubling bets after a loss is the fastest way to empty a budget.
- Track your results. A simple note of deposits, withdrawals and wins shows you where your money really goes.
