The number one problem gamblers have is they don’t manage their bankrolls. This means that they
don’t set strict limits on themselves and stick to them throughout gaming. It’s too easy to get caught up
in the lights, the specials and the atmosphere once you are at a casino. That can influence your wager
habits and cause you to go overboard quickly. Making a decision at the casino is never a good idea! Set
your limits prior to even getting into your car or turning on your computer. Here are some tips to use
when managing your bankroll.
First of all, decide how much money you can afford to loose. Yes—you do want to be that pessimistic because there is the chance you will end up losing everything you go to a casino with. Worst case scenario you want to wager only the amount of money you can afford to lose. Think of your bankroll as “extra” money. Never use money you are going to need to cover bills as your bankroll.
Next, be aware of the ups and downs of gambling. If you fall into a losing streak, do something to change the setting. Either go to a different room or a different game. Change up your wager amount or just take a break. Go get lunch and then come back when you feel more at ease. Remember that everything is random—and there is no influencing randomness. Other games that are based on strategy can be influenced but sometimes if you aren’t in the right mindset, or just not having a good day, you need to leave and come back when you are feeling luckier.
Finally, bet large when you’re winning and small amounts when you're losing. Fight the urge to bet big during a losing streak. That's the time you should be doing your best to bet conservatively. Bet more during a winning streak. By matching your wagers to your current streak, you edge the odds closer to your favor and away from the house. And in gambling, edging just a few percentage points away from the house can make a huge difference in your payout.
