Bankroll
The total amount set aside for play. Bankroll management is deciding how much of it to risk per bet and per session.
In context
A £500 bankroll at £5 a bet is 100 bets; at £25 it is 20. The number of bets, not the figure in pounds, decides how long a session lasts.
Did you know
The word comes from the literal roll of banknotes a 19th-century gambler carried; “bankroll” as a verb, to finance someone, is a later Americanism.
