B

How many buy-ins?

The recommended bankroll comes from inverting the risk-of-ruin formula. A 5bb/100 winner with 100bb/100 standard deviation needs about 40 buy-ins for 1% RoR, 27 for 5%, and 19 for 10%. The cleaner your win rate and the lower your variance, the smaller your bankroll requirement.
