Determining your slots bankroll
I read lots of articles on gambling and how to determine your bankroll for various games. Okay, I probably read too many articles on it. Some of the methods make me feel like I’m back in my college Calculus class. Unfortunately gambling returns can’t be demonstrated by a line infinitely approaching zero. That’s about all I really remember about calculus class. Lines approaching zero and never getting there. If you’ve ever gambled, you probably know that getting your bankroll to approach and achieve zero is a lot easier. So, that’s the principle I base my bankroll principles on – zero exists. Hey, it’s calculus so it has to be right.
So, here’s how you determine your slots bankroll. This is amount 1.
Contact your bank and ask how much money you have. This is amount 2.
Look at all your bills and determine how much money you need to pay them each month (or as they become due). This is amount 3.
Now, calculate how much you spend each week on food and clothing and other stuff you need. This is amount 4.
Don’t forget, you should probably be saving or investing each week. This is amount 5.
Now, we do something that may be familiar if you’ve ever filled out a tax form for the IRS. Add amounts 2, 3, 4 and 5. Subtract them from amount 1. The remain number, amount 6, is money you can spend on things like gambling. Since you probably want to do things other than gamble, your bankroll is LESS than amount 6. If amount 6 is zero or less than zero, you should skip gambling, since your bankroll is zero. If amount 5 is zero, you may also skip gambling and your bankroll is zero.
Now my method is firmly grounded in theory that you probably won’t actually win the money for that house payment every month on a slot game. And that players chasing the win usually find their money quickly achieves zero. So, don’t gamble what you can’t afford to win when play an online casino real money game.
