Stake

Stake refers to the amount of money you risk on a bet. It is the sum you wager, and it determines both your potential profit and loss.

For example, if you place a €100 bet at 2.00 odds, your total return would be €200 (€100 stake + €100 profit). If the bet loses, you lose the €100 stake.

Managing your stake is crucial in bankroll management, as betting too much on a single event increases risk, while spreading stakes strategically can improve long-term profitability.
