Replenishable Bankroll

[zachs]

I have 3-4 casinos very close, so that is no worry, very short drive.

I've been working on bringing up my bankroll. So far i have 500, but people told me that was no good..

I'm gonna get some more, i just don't wanna get wrecked and lose it, lol.

How can I utilize a "Replenishable BR", starting as low as 500?

You have to make an assessment of how much you can put into your bankroll over what period of time.
For example if i was to say that i could afford to put into my bankroll $1k/month, i could easily say that my bankroll for the year was $12k, but i have to accept the fact that if i play at that level and hit a swing of bad variance that wipes me out then i'm going to have to wait until next month when i can afford to put another $1k in before i can play again.
A better idea perhaps would be to consider the money you've got currently a trip bankroll and the money you would have by this time next year your full bankroll. Then you can play at an acceptable ROR for the game and length of time that you intend to play rather than an acceptable ROR for your overall bankroll.

RJT.

$500 is an okay BR,if you are playing at a $3 table and won't be betting more than $20 in the most advantageous conditions. But if you are playing where the minimums are $5 or $10,a $500 BR is subject to being wiped out in any one session.

He can start with $500 and IF he's committed to add another $500 every 60-days (every 30-days is better) he can bet initially like he's got $2000 (or $3500 if every 30-days). When he taps he has to wait for the replenishment and then go again.

He doesn't need to hold the entire $2000+ in his pocket.

Now can someone be a little more scientific on this? zg

Very general rule of thumb- set your win rate equal to your hourly wage at your regular job, and bring a playing stake sufficient to allow a 2-5% RoR for your casino trips. Win rate is more important to us part-timers because you can't get any satisfaction from playing for less than what you can make otherwise. And temporary ruin is no big deal.

You were so far off, it's silly. David what's his name is closer than you are. Hope to God nobody listened to a word you said.

LMAO. I hope you didn't fall for that.

You think I understand this stuff? - I just know it's around if one actually cares enough to answer one's own question to whatever level one may want to pursue the theory of it all.

If I cared about replenishable rolls to that degree, I'd have paid more attention.

I'm a simple guy - one roll to bet against, imaginary or not, treat a trip roll like a lifetime roll, or not, decide whether I'm playing again next week or maybe not til next year, have a plan or 2, pick my poison, have faith the parachute will actually open when I jump out of the plane, and grind it out.

When I'm not voo-dooing it anyway lol.

If I think I know what to expect from what I choose to do, there's not much more I give a rat's ass about. I even get upset when my voo-doo results aren't going according to plan lol.

I know I'm not going to be counting every week or month, so I don't care that much. If I did maybe I would.

Maybe I'll bet a $4K roll in a card-counting way when I go to Tahoe in a month for a week because I think I might be able to play a few thousand hands of DD and SD and maybe it's worth it. If I do, it likely won't be as a lifetime roll, it'll be as if it were a trip roll to some imaginary lifetime roll. I don't see the point of betting it as a lifetime roll. If I lose it, it's not like I couldn't bring the same amount next year. And I don't even know if we will get out there again next year. All I will know is how likely I will be to lose that $4K given a range of betting so much for how long. So maybe I'm betting to a replenishable-roll concept but I really don't think whatever this guy said it's gonna matter much to me.

Sunofagun. I just lost a whole big long reply. Lucky you lol.
