Tips for Responsible Betting
📋
Set a budget
Only bet what you can afford to lose. Use our Bet Tracker to monitor your spending.
⏱️
Set time limits
Allocate specific times for research and betting. Avoid marathon sessions.
📊
Track your bets
Use data to make decisions. Our ROI tracker shows your real performance over time.
🧘
Take breaks
Regular breaks reduce impulsive decisions. Step away after a loss.

Stick to your edge
Only bet when you have a genuine edge (positive EV). Our EV scanner helps identify these spots.

Never chase losses
Losing streaks happen even with a positive edge. Don't increase stakes to recover losses.

Kelly Criterion — Bankroll Management
The Kelly Criterion is the mathematically optimal betting formula that maximizes long-run bankroll growth while minimizing risk of ruin. We recommend using Quarter Kelly at most:
f = (b × p − q) / b
where: b = decimal odds − 1, p = win probability, q = 1 − p
Recommended stake = (f / 4) × bankroll
where: b = decimal odds − 1, p = win probability, q = 1 − p
Recommended stake = (f / 4) × bankroll
Our Calculators page includes a built-in Kelly calculator.
