01 Definition
A staking plan defines the rules for how much of your bankroll to risk on each bet. Common plans include flat stakes (same amount every time), percentage staking (fixed % of current bankroll), Kelly criterion (mathematically optimal), and confidence-based (varying stakes based on perceived edge).
02 Example
Flat 2% staking on a $5,000 bankroll = $100 per bet. As bankroll grows to $6,000, stakes increase to $120. As it drops to $4,000, stakes decrease to $80. The bankroll self-regulates.
03 Why It Matters
Your staking plan can make or break a profitable strategy. The best signals in the world are useless if you overbet on losses and underbet on winners. Disciplined staking is what separates professionals from gamblers.
