How to use it

  1. Starting balance: your session bankroll today.
  2. Daily target %: the share of your balance you aim to win per day.
  3. Number of days: leave it at 1 for today's stop point, or enter any horizon.

The previous version of this tool labeled 120 days as "6 months". It now uses 180 days, so every milestone matches its label.

Why a daily target works (and when it does not)

A daily target gives every session a finish line. Without one, a good session keeps running until variance takes the profit back. With one, you stop the moment the day is done. That is the real value of this tool: it turns a vague goal into one number you can watch on the Live Stats panel.

The trap is the size of the target. Doubling the daily % does not double the risk, it multiplies it, because you need bigger bets relative to your balance and every increase cuts the losing streak you can survive. Check your numbers in the loss streak calculator before committing to a target.

Use it with a stop-loss

  • Set the daily target with this calculator.
  • Set a daily stop-loss you accept losing without chasing.
  • If the stop-loss hits, plan the way back with the loss recovery calculator instead of raising your bets.

Inside the StakeDices strategy you get the daily target and stop-loss rules we use on stream, plus a spreadsheet to track them.

Goal Calculator: FAQ

How does the goal calculator work?

It compounds your daily target: balance × (1 + daily % / 100) ^ days. Each day's target is a percentage of the balance you start that day with, so profits from earlier days also grow.

What is a realistic daily target for gambling?

Lower than most people think. A higher daily target forces bigger bets relative to your balance, which shortens the loss streak you can survive. Every Stake game has a house edge, so no daily target is guaranteed. Treat the result as a plan, not a promise.

Why are the 365-day numbers so large?

Because of compounding. 100 at 1% per day becomes about 3,778 after a year if every single day hits the target. In practice, losing days and variance make the real curve far flatter. Use the long-term numbers to understand the math, not as an expected result.

Should I use the number of days set to 1?

Yes, that is the best way to use it daily: set days to 1 and the calculator shows the exact balance that completes today's target. When you reach it, stop the session.
