How it works
A staking plan turns your bankroll into units so every bet is the same disciplined fraction of your roll. The unit is simply bankroll × the percentage you risk per bet — flat staking that takes emotion out of bet sizing and keeps your risk of ruin in check.
Most cautious bettors risk 1–2% of the bankroll per bet; more than 5% and a normal losing streak can do real damage. The fewer units your bankroll holds, the higher your risk of ruin — this complements the Kelly and risk-of-ruin calculators.
Staking Plan (Units) Calculator
A staking plan converts your bankroll into units so every bet is the same disciplined fraction of your roll. This free units calculator gives you the unit size and the number of units your bankroll holds — the foundation of a disciplined staking plan and sound bankroll management.
Why stake in units
Betting a fixed percentage of your bankroll — one unit — removes emotion and chasing from bet sizing. Win and the unit grows with the roll; lose and it shrinks, so you automatically bet less when behind and more when ahead. The unit is simply bankroll × your chosen risk percentage.
Most disciplined bettors set a unit at 1–2% of the bankroll. The number of units you hold (100 ÷ your percentage) is a direct measure of how much variance you can survive.
Choosing your risk level
A 1% unit gives 100 units of cushion and a very low risk of ruin; a 5% unit gives only 20 and exposes you to busting on a normal cold streak. The right level depends on how confident you are in your edge — higher edges justify a bigger fraction, which is exactly what the Kelly criterion formalises.
Use this alongside the Kelly and risk-of-ruin calculators: units set your discipline, Kelly sizes the edge, and risk of ruin shows the survival odds.
What is a unit in betting?expand_more
A fixed fraction of your bankroll used as the standard stake — usually 1–2%. Staking in units keeps bet sizing consistent regardless of the bankroll's swings.
How big should a betting unit be?expand_more
Commonly 1–2% of the bankroll for cautious bettors. More than 5% raises the risk of ruin sharply, because a normal losing streak can wipe out a small number of units.
How many units should my bankroll have?expand_more
At 1% per bet you hold 100 units; at 2%, 50. More units means more cushion against variance and a lower chance of going broke.
