If You Make A Decent Score

[jjgold]

Go buy something with it instead of leaving in your account and losing

Most of you here are compulsive gamblers and will bet it all untill broke

very sad but true

JJ, You'd be a home run working for GA, it may be your true calling. While gambling is not for everyone, some of us are out here doing our thing, not being overly serious about life. True we've taken our hits, been stung real good not and then. What doesn't plow you under makes you tougher. It's definitely not for the weak hearted. Those who need help will be forced to find it, sooner or later. (sooner better, less pain.)

Over the years, money management is probably the biggest and strongest lesson I have learned. So to answer your question, a big score means a 90% cashout for me.

Smart gamblers cash out after decent runs

JJ that mentality keeps people broke in life. Don't tell people to spend, tell them to save or to invest in themselves. Not touching your bankroll for many years, through the ups and downs is the best investment you can make in yourself provided you are a winning player. If you are not take your occasional big score and set most of it aside in some other investment or savings. If you MUST spend it, keep it to 20-30% of the score. Trust me on this, the only way you get ahead in life. You can make a million a year and have nothing if you adopt the wrong attitude, as we all know.

great post, I can identify alot you just said, because I did it alot in the past, if I went and bought a new car or bought my girlfriend a diamond ring, it was the same as blowing back the money.

People who go out and spend like crazy after a big win obviously subconciously feel they were lucky to have that big win in the first place and are scared of blowing it back. This is losers mentality and the converse is the bettor who thinks he is invincible and bets out of control thinking he's hot. A professional takes big wins and big losses in his stride - it doesn't affect his betting behaviour.

A disciplined approach using a bankroll is the only way to go and if you use your bankroll for anything other than betting you will most probably end up skint at some stage. Percentage of bankroll bets take care of everything - good runs, bad runs and too much thinking. For example today I fancied a horse and made him a +300 chance and using my bankroll and kelly system was forced to bet $800 @ +450 - no decsion making required. Horse racing bettors typically follow a horse they feel owes them regardless of the odds making the decision they are going to bet the horse before deciding the horse's chances of winning and regardless of the odds on offer - a road to ruin and I'm sure sports bettors are the same.

Keeping emotions out of the decision making process will yield better results in the long run.

A score immediately becomes part of your bankroll. Depending on how much money a gambler has to play with (bankroll) there are a couplel intelligent things to do with a score. Sure a little celebration is fine, dinner with friends, gift for the wife maybe. (unless you hit the lottery which is different). A safety deposit box is a must, just stash the extra cash in the box and go on with life while you figure out how to use the money so that it will do you some good. A slight increase in unit size is not a bad idea but only very slight. Taxes are another problem, different gamblers treat taxes differently and I won't get into that here. Bottom line when you decide to use the money make sure you use the it to make more money for yourself. Even if it is just CD's invest the money at some point, don't go around bragging about your luck or you will have new friends coming out of the woodwork. Put the money to work and forget about while it mutiplies.
