A bankroll is money set aside specifically for betting—an amount the bettor could lose without affecting rent, groceries, bills, or emergency savings.

A bankroll that falls from £1,000 to £500 has lost 50%. Getting back to £1,000 then requires £500 of profit on the remaining £500—a 100% gain. The percentages look uneven because the second calculation starts from a smaller amount. That…
