What is a bankroll in sports betting?
A bankroll is the money you set aside only for betting, kept separate from bills, savings and everyday spending. Managing it well means betting small, steady portions so a losing run does not wipe you out.

Your bankroll should be an amount you can afford to lose entirely without affecting your life. Many bettors split it into units of 1% to 2% and stake one or two units per bet. Track every bet so you always know where the bankroll stands.
For example, a $1,000 bankroll with 1% units means $10 per standard bet. Ten losing bets in a row, which happens even to careful bettors, would leave $900. Staking 10% of the current balance on each bet, the same run would cut the bankroll to about $350.
Avoid topping up after losses or raising stakes to win money back, a habit known as chasing. If betting stops being fun or the money starts to matter, take a break and use the deposit limits and time-out tools most operators provide.
