[/Quote]IMO it depends on your risk tolerance, but a conservative rule of thumb I have heard but not followed(being an action junkie) is never risk more than 1% of your total bankroll on any one wager and never risk more than 10% of your total bankroll on any one session(for most of us this is probably one day).  If you follow these guidelines your risk of ruin is diminished.  But if you have a small bankroll, like 50 units, you will either have to exceed the guideline, or downsize your unit size.  If you choose to exceed the guidelines, then you should be aware that the odds of you losing your entire bankroll before you double it are high.
