The tournament budget, explained
The tournament budget is the total amount you’re willing to lose over the duration of the tournament. The duration is set by you, not the operator, and the duration is usually 4-8 weeks for an IPL tournament. The Come Sports app's tournament budget tool helps you set the budget, with the budget being the input for the deposit limit.
The right tournament budget is 5-10% of your disposable entertainment budget. The budget should be set before the first match of the tournament, not after a bad day. The budget is the input that drives the long-term sustainability of your fantasy cricket habit.
The Come Sports app's deposit limit tool enforces the budget at the system level. Set the limit before the first match, and the limit will cap your total tournament deposit at the amount you specify. The cap is the tool that prevents the chasing-losses pattern that leads to financial problems.
The per-match cap and the stop-loss
The per-match cap is the maximum amount you’re willing to lose in a single match. The cap is usually 5-10% of the tournament budget. The Come Sports app's per-match cap tool helps you set the cap, with the cap being the input for the per-match entry fee limit.
The stop-loss is the loss threshold at which you stop playing for the day. The threshold is set at 30-50% of the per-match cap. The Come Sports app's stop-loss tool notifies you when you hit the threshold, and the notification is the input that triggers the daily break.
The combination of per-match cap and stop-loss is the most effective single discipline mechanism. The combination is the input that drives the long-term bankroll sustainability, and the sustainability is what separates sustainable players from one-tournament players.
