how much should you bet on roulette with a $100 budget?
Every time I step up to the roulette wheel, I have to fight that urge to just put the whole budget down on red or black for that quick thrill. But with $100, that can disappear so fast if you hit a rough patch. I’ve tried splitting it up into $5 chips to give myself a decent number of spins, but then I get stuck debating if it’s better to spread out inside bets or just stick with outside for more consistency.
Does anyone else try to stretch $100 with a mix of patience and a few riskier plays in between? My friends think I’m too slow and want to go hard or go home, but I usually end up lasting a lot longer at the table and sometimes walk away with more than they do. Just curious how others pace themselves or if anyone has a set routine.

If I'm working with a $100 bankroll, my routine is to commit up front to a max loss per hour. That's not sexy, but it does keep me from going broke on an ugly run and gives me space to change tactics if the table mood shifts. I lean heavier on outside bets for the first half and save two or three $15 shots on sectors for when I want that adrenaline spike.
A weird quirk that helps me pace myself is keeping an eye out for promotions, like free chip boosts. Even a small bonus stretches the session and lets me justify the occasional risky play without torching the main budget. Anyone else game their timing around promo windows?
