Stop loss limit?

Incidentally, I was reading the book about Steve Cyr ("Whale Hunt in the Desert") and learned the casino's term for leaving on small wins, and staying for huge losses: "eats like a bird, shits like a moose".

I kind of liked it. And apparantly, it's ingrained into the gambler psyche.

bring 120 units next time.
should I be willing to lose 120 units of my 600 unit total BR? I think it was the worlds greatest BJ book that I read never to bring your whole BR maybe thats what made me so conservative to begin with.

You should be willing to lose your entire bankroll! This is gambling after all. I have lost 120 units many times and you will to. Don't be afraid of a few losing sessions. As long as you bet appropriately you will be able to keep your head above water until you start to win it back.

Bring the amount necessary that will give you almost no chance of going broke over your trip. Bet away and dont worry about how many chips are in front of you or how much you have bought in for.

It's a little hard when you're in for over 100 units, haha. :)

wow this sounds like me! :eyepatch:
hopefully my local joint won't realize my bird food weighs in far in excess than my moose shit deposited. :eek:
hmm maybe this is good cover.

best regards,
