my problem since 2013 till now, I started with $10 bucks, turned them into $500 using only 10$ per play (1 unit)
then I started throwing each game 4 units on double chance (team or x) + 1 unit on draw no bet.. made $130+ then withdrew all my earnings to buy a new iphone 7 plus (back then in 2018)

came to start again with 20$ (2 units) , now I have 16 Units .. what should I do when I reach for example : $250+ bankroll ?

make my bets ($20 per bet)? or stay $10 = 1 unit but throw more than 1 unit on recommended plays?

for conclusion , when should I increase my unit stake amount?

that is when u have at least 1K . But for someone who started with $20 ? (now $160)

analyzing ur comment , means I should stuck with 1 unit = $10 till I have over 500 bucks.
This is a great topic & a very slippery slope, I would like @KVB to chime in when he gets a chance. So KVB the question is, when do we start betting more after our bankroll increases how much ?

Should we raise or lower our bets accordingly as our bankroll adjusts from month to month ? 🤔
I wouldn't base it on time. I'd set a monetary bankroll limit ahead of time that dictates when you reevaluate your unit size.

Everyone knows (or should know) that 1-2% of bankroll is what you should be placing on a bet for long-term success. You can occassionally flex from that amount but it should not be often.

Now, say you start with $5k, your bets should be $50-$100 per play. You should at that point set a dollar amount that when reached triggers you to reset your unit bet. For example, say if you hit $7k or $3k, you know to change your unit bet size. This is all part of money management.
