Post by keno3699 »

what was your starting bankroll and what kind of figures are you up to now? 
 no exact numbers unless you wish to give them.

First time, $500. Lost it all.

Second time $500. Cashed out with $1,500.
 
Then lost about $120 in Colorado.
 
So +$380 at the moment (plus comps).
 
I'm still relatively new at this.
 
But I'm not sure if that was the exact question you were asking.

I started at 100 and seem to get to zero!  (LATELY!)
 
My comps are usually a cash amount (last one was $80), Meals, Room and sometimes  a concert.  So I figure I might be ahead a little bit even though I am at zero after playing. 

Note:  I only added $20 to my $80 offer from casino.  Earned 986 base points (A base point is $10 playing at a Harrah's casino).  So ran through $9,860 dollars with my $100.
 
Best play was time I went in with only a $40 offer for cash.  Played it for about seven hours.  Ended the day losing it but earned 2,973 base points.
 
I was playing 9/6 JoB.  I nearly always play 9/6 JOB.  I am learning double double bonus and will play it on a progressive when the progressive is over $3,000.
 
I am playing quarters forgot to share that bit of information.  One reason  I have been losing is I have not had a royal flush for over a year now. BUT I AM DUE! I keep telling myself.

There are many ways to look at bankrolls. Most people don't consider bankrolls because they have jobs and therefore look at gambing as entertainment. Hence, they use their wages as a never ending bankroll. More details into what you are trying to learn would be nice.
