NFL Bankroll Calculator

Turn a pre-set bankroll percentage into a boring, visible stake ladder before the game starts.

2-unit ceiling

This is a budgeting aid, not a recommendation to bet. The safest stake is zero, and no unit system repairs a plan that depends on chasing losses.

Stake ladder

Make the size boring before the game gets loud

0.5 unitSmall edge, high uncertainty, or learning a new market

1 unitYour normal pre-set stake

1.5 unitsOnly when your own rules explicitly allow it

2 unitsA ceiling, not a target; never a way to recover losses

A unit is a budgeting convention, not a promise of value. If a stake feels emotionally important, it is too large for the plan.

Why use a unit?

A unit makes the amount a decision made in advance, not a reaction to confidence, a losing ticket, or a televised game. Keep the bankroll to money you can afford to lose and treat the ceiling as a ceiling.

Read NFL Bankroll & Responsible Betting and use the support resources if betting is becoming urgent or difficult to control.

What percentage should one NFL unit be?

There is no universal safe percentage. Use only discretionary money and choose a small fixed amount that will not change your obligations or behavior after a losing week.

Should I increase my unit after winning?

Not automatically. A unit system is designed to keep sizing consistent and reduce emotional escalation.
