Bankroll Management Poll

[TwoArmedBandito]

Mine is different. I bring it all down. Change 100's into 20s . If 20 turns to 40 or ideally more. I cash out. Stick new 20 in. Repeat. End of session I combine titos. Always have money at the end. Hopefully more than I started with.

I have a set amount each day AND the ATM! No discipline!

I always try to stick to a set amount each day. I hate going into the next day's money early! I actually do ok with this. If I lose too much too quickly, it's not fun anymore and I end up wanting a break from it and don't really have the urge to throw more money quickly after losses. There is always the next day!

Does anyone here use a Winner's Bank? I am seriously looking at ordering one.

I have one laying around somewhere, if I find it, it's yours Don

We just take our roll and I split it up with paper clips so much per day for multi day trips. Leave all but the current days in safe in room. Like TAB, 20 in 40+ cash out. I keep them and combine at end. I try to tax myself 50% of titos, the rest goes back into BR.

I don't ban people, I just delete them. We best get back on topic or Chris will ban me, back to talking about the money and winners banks and what not!

I think you made an exception one time. Darrell from WI got banned for life in favor of DarrellK. Remember that @CPT ? HHH

I divide my BR into am and pm allotments and use pockets not envelopes.

I tried envelopes once and only ended up with torn envelopes all one day haha. I don't have good BR management, that's why I'm finding 2-3 days max is probably better for me. That way I can play as hard as I want to and not have to worry about being stuck somewhere with no money to play.

I have tried many of the strategies that were mentioned but at the end of the day - it comes down to discipline. Some trips I have it and some trips I don't. Good luck finding a system that works for you!

Some interesting ideas! I was a daily envelope person until recently, but after a while I found that I was a rotten thief. I stole from Tuesday & Wednesday on Monday and then felt guilty. The last couple of trips I was less rigid, and seemed to do a bit better overall.

Last couple of trips I divided the bankroll up more by where I was staying. In Vegas in particular I stay longer and usually make a couple of moves. Last trip I had bankroll for Reno, bankroll for Tahoe, a small bankroll for 4 Queens and bankroll for Palazzo. That was a long trip but I came home with some cash. On those long trips I don't bring the entire bankroll, so I moved winnings forward and didn't even make my last planned withdrawal which was nice. For this AC trip I have a night at Foxwoods, 3 at Borgata and a night at Mohegan Sun, so I think I will break it up in 3 (uneven) chunks and see how it goes. I will also bring a little extra for the stumble but not much.

I don't think I could do the $20 in and $40 or more out. I like to play off the same tito all day (or at least the morning, afternoon or evening) when I can. It helps me keep better track. When I start feeding twenties into the machines I have absolutely no idea what I have done until it's all gone. It's much easier for me to keep track if I start out with a hundy. I bet it's fun to count up a fistful of titos at the end of the day though!

Bankroll management is such a huge challenge. The most important thing for me is to STOP for awhile when things are going badly. Eating, taking a walk, changing casinos, or even going to take a pee usually seem to break the cycle.
