Size of Bankroll Selection (Part 1)

admin | Count | Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

This is again dependent on a number of other factors. Simply put, the best way to gauge the size of your playing bank-roll is to determine how much of your money you can afford to risk, without its loss affecting your ability to continue offering a Progressive Jackpot living at your present rate of comfort. If you think that a loss of $500 won’t affect your ability to pay the rent, or the mortgage, or the power bills, and so on, then this is the bankroll you should take, and modify your play and win goals, accordingly. For higher amounts, this will depend directly on the value of that money to you at the time you are making this determination.

Never play slots, or any gambling game, with money you cannot afford to lose!

If you do this just once, you will think it’s okay to do it again. It’s never okay to do it. Playing this way means you are using “scared” money because the total loss of it will adversely affect you, your family, and your life. This is a prescription for disaster. Stories about people like this abound. Let’s use this one, which I heard from a friend of mine.

A man who was considered the pillar of his community, a dedicated husband and father to two children, a steady employee who had been with the same firm all of his twenty-five years of work life, finally took the early retirement option offered by his company. Along with this, he received a sizable retirement benefit payment. Play online slots free. Combined with this amount, and the fact that he owned his home, his car, and retirement investments which had mushroomed to a good amount, his children grown and with lives of their own, this man and his wife were the ideal middle-aged couple. Comfortably off. Neither would ever have to worry about money. For the rest of their lives, they could live comfortably, travel, enjoy themselves, take pride in their lives and in their children and, eventually, grandchildren. Life looked about as good as any poster could present.
