How do you determine the right portion of bankroll for outside bets?

[Mike_25]

Never bet more than 5% of your overall bankroll on outside bets. Outside bets have higher house edges, around 5% compared to inside bets. So unless you have a large bankroll, keep outside bets to a minor part of your strategy. Within that 5%, I'd recommend starting with just 1-2% on columns, dozens and colours to lower your risk exposure. How much you eventually work up to within the 5% limit depends on your personal tolerance for risk.

You are right!..for outside bets like columns, dozens or black/red, I'd suggest no more than 5% of your total bankroll too. These bets have low odds but can provide steady small wins. Keeping the stake small means you don't risk too much even if they lose often. But a tiny bet means a tiny win, so the percentage needs to be low for your bankroll to last.

columns, dozens, or outside wagers like black/red. Despite their poor odds, these wagers can yield regular little winnings. Even if they frequently lose, lowering the stake implies you are not taking on too much danger. However, a small stake results in a small win, thus the percentage must be low for your bankroll to survive.
