Daily Bankroll — How Stakes Are Planned and Recorded
You place every bet yourself, at your own bookmaker. This tool plans amounts and keeps the record. It never places a bet, never connects to a bookmaker account, and never moves your money. Nothing happens until you act.
Daily Bankroll turns the day's published selections into a concrete list of amounts, then keeps a dated record of what you actually placed. This guide explains each part of that: how an amount is decided, why some bets get no amount at all, and what the record does and does not claim.
The flow, end to end
Setting up once
- Your bankroll. The amount you are managing with this tool. Every percentage below is a percentage of this number.
- Your currency. Amounts are rounded down to a whole unit your bookmaker accepts, never up — rounding up would break the per-bet ceiling.
- The smallest bet you can place. Bookmakers have minimums. If a calculated amount lands below yours, that bet is skipped and told to you rather than quietly rounded up.
- A staking rule. This decides how the daily budget turns into individual amounts. The four rules are listed in the next section.
- A source pool. Which set of selections the day is built from. Not every board can fund a plan — see below.
Daily Bankroll is part of Premium. The selections it plans against are published in the dashboard for Pro as well, and Pro includes a calculator you drive yourself — but the daily plan, the record and the settlement are Premium.
The four staking rules
These are the same rules whose results we publish on the performance page, with the same numbers. Nothing in the interface can change them, and there is no rule that increases stakes after a loss.
| Rule | Daily budget | Per bet | How it splits |
|---|---|---|---|
| Balanced | 10% of bankroll | max 2% | Evenly across the day's funded bets. |
| Cautious | 5% of bankroll | max 2% | Evenly, on half the daily budget. |
| Fixed ratio | max 10% | 0.1% per bet | The same small fraction on every bet, regardless of the day's size. |
| Quarter Kelly | max 10% | max 2% | Weighted by measured edge, then quartered. Bets with no edge get nothing. |
Because Balanced and Cautious split evenly, a day with many selections gives each one a smaller amount. That is arithmetic, not a judgement about the bets: 5% of a 1,000 USD bankroll is 50 USD, and across 40 selections that is 1.25 USD each. On a small bankroll a busy day can therefore produce amounts below your minimum, and those are skipped rather than rounded up.
Which boards can fund a plan
The plan is built from one source pool, and the pools are not interchangeable:
- Today's Picks — the main daily board.
- High odds band (roughly 2.00–5.00) — a separate board aimed at return rather than strike rate.
- Low odds band (roughly 1.20–1.50) — cannot fund a plan. This is a fixed commitment, not a setting: that board is published to be read, and it is deliberately kept out of bankroll planning.
How each amount is decided
Three things set an amount, in this order: the rule you picked, your bankroll, and a ceiling for any single bet. The ceiling is absolute — nothing is ever staked above it, whatever the rule suggests.
A ceiling per single bet — at most 2% of your bankroll on any one bet — and a ceiling per day, which is the daily budget of the rule you picked (5% or 10%). Both are stored with the published staking rules, and no setting in the interface can raise them. There is no high-risk mode. Stakes are never increased after a loss — loss-chasing systems are not offered here in any form.
Why some bets get no amount
A day usually has more selections than the daily budget can carry. Skipped bets are listed under the table, grouped by reason. Nothing disappears silently.
| Reason | What it means |
|---|---|
| budget used | The daily budget was fully allocated before this bet was reached. |
| below minimum | The calculated amount came out smaller than the smallest bet you can place. |
| match limit | That match had already reached its own limit, so a second bet on it was not added. |
| no edge | At the published price, the rule found no advantage on this bet, so it assigns nothing. |
| no probability | No probability was published for this bet, so no amount can be derived. |
| capacity | The budget covered a limited number of bets and this one fell outside it. |
Marking, and what the record claims
After you place a bet at your bookmaker, you mark it. Marking is the whole point: it is what separates "a plan existed" from "this was actually staked".
The day shows plan result and your result side by side, and they are answers to different questions. Plan result is what the full plan would have returned if every funded bet had been placed at the published price. Your result counts only the bets you marked. If you placed six of nine, the two numbers will not match — and your result is the one that reflects what happened to you. We show both so the plan cannot quietly take credit for bets you never placed, and so a day you partly skipped is visible instead of looking like a plan that underperformed.
While matches are still running or awaiting confirmation, the day is labelled provisional and tells you how many bets are unsettled. Results can also arrive late: a fixture whose data was incomplete is picked up the following morning, so a figure you read at midnight can change by breakfast. That is settlement catching up, not the record being rewritten.
The record is append-only and dated. Once a day is written it is not rewritten — each day is sealed and chained to the day before it, so a missing or altered day is visible rather than invisible. This matters because a record you can quietly edit proves nothing.
Every bet is judged on the 90 minutes of regulation play. Goals, cards or corners in extra time or penalties do not move any line. Your bankroll updates from those settled results.
How the bankroll carries forward
Each day's budget is a percentage of the bankroll as it stood at the start of that day. Results settled during the day do not enlarge or shrink that day's budget — they are carried into the next day. So a winning day raises tomorrow's amounts and a losing day lowers them, but nothing changes mid-day. This is deliberate: a budget that grew while the day was still running would let a good morning fund a larger afternoon, which is the shape of chasing.
If settled results take the bankroll down to a fraction of where it started, the plan stops producing amounts instead of continuing with ever-smaller numbers. The period stays readable and the record is intact — but it will not keep planning a bankroll that is effectively gone. Starting again is a decision you make, not one the tool makes for you.
Periods, and starting over
A period is one continuous run with one bankroll and one rule. You choose its length when you set it up: 30 days or a calendar month. Both start today — a calendar month simply ends on the last day of the current month, so if you start on the 14th your first month is short. When you want to change your bankroll or your rule, you archive the period and start a new one. Archiving does not delete anything: the archived period stays readable from the menu, with its rule, its dates and its record intact. You can only have one running period at a time, and a single day belongs to exactly one period — this prevents the same day being staked twice under two different plans.
What this tool does not claim
- It does not promise profit. Past results do not predict future results.
- It does not place bets, hold funds, or connect to bookmaker accounts.
- It does not hide the selections behind the plan — the same selections are published in the dashboard.
- It does not measure your bookmaker's prices. Amounts come from the published price; if you get a different one, your outcome will differ from the plan.
Stake only what you can afford to lose. If betting has stopped being a decision and started being a habit you cannot pause, stop and seek support in your country.
