Gambling Bankroll

Hey Nash

Part of our bills are paying into our 401k every week (10 % with 50 % match ) plus we put some in the savings every month (it may a lump one time a month or smaller amounts each week) We pay ourselves

When I use the word disposable income, it means just that, its money that is left over after everything else is paid. See..Im not one of those women who are into "the latest must have stuff" I never liked wearing alot of jewelry (besides I have all of my mom's and aunt's) , Im not a shoe freak or clothes hound. Im a mans' dream !! That's what Rich's friends tell him . I even think buying roses on Valentines day is a waste of money!

These are my must haves though (im not a total wierdo lol)

1. Very good Louis Vuitton knock offs (I mean really good, they cost alot less but still cost a pretty penny) You should see my collection but Im finished and got everything I need

2. Good Perfume. BUT...they last because I dont go out so I dont need any now either. I like Isamyaki(sp), Vera Wang, Krizia....nice stuff!

3. Name Brand Grocery with the few exceptions. I dont care what people say, there is a difference between generic and store brand. Im a foodie and cook every night and took 6 yrs of cooking, gourmet etc and know there is a difference.

4. Nice Hotel stays. I need my regular trips to the Trop

Other than that, I dont spend money during the week. I am a reformed snob and Im loving it. I look back and get sick at myself for being so snobby when I was younger having to have the best of everything. I was very spoiled and learned that I dont need to spend foolishly to keep up with others. I was so disgusted when my neice and her husband spent $7K for the superbowl when they live in Phoenix. They just HAD to have the whole superbowl experience. What a waste!

Good Post Babs but we may have to agree to disagree on The Superbowl,LOL....when the Titans played in it in 2000 nothing was stopping me including 240 miles of icy dangerous road conditions (southerners have no idea how to drive on ice including me) on the road to Atlanta....fortunately tickets were not a problem as one of the players gave (not sold) me a great seat in the Georgia Dome....very generous as the Players were only alloted 15 total tickets at that time.....still may be just 15 but not sure but 15 is really not that many for immediate family,etc. for what is possibly a once in a lifetime event!

Oh No
Dont get me wrong Nash, I understand how important the Superbowl is to many peope. Infact, back in 1980 I was visiting a friend in IN and I had to drive back to Chicago before the superbowl started (It was the Steelers). The roads were full of ice and snow but I made it because I had to see my Steelers win LOL.

I just wouldnt pay $7K for any ticket to see anything, even if I had all the money in the world. I just really feel the industry takes advantage of fans whether its sports or entertainment. They all work very hard for their money, I dont dispute that but that doesnt make them deserving enough to make that kind of money to me. I would rather see them have 3 less cars or 3 less vacation homes and give some of that salary to the Police, Fire and Teachers

I didn't by any means and actually your true point was quite clear. I was just making light of your love for football,LOL (I can remember most posts made and I remember a post you made once where a game went into overtime on Sunday delaying one of your favorite TV shows and you gave football a hard time with a post but I think you were kidding around....I also remember a post about an ex hubby of yours who played briefly for the Vikings iirc). So I was jokingly in good fun defending my love of football which I am sure you enjoy but prolly not like us die-hards!

Gambling money comes from your job, investments, successful gambles.

Money management affects all of us, either due to how greedy corporations are getting, like Walmart underpaying people, or overspending by people.

Money management issues happen in the gambling games themselves, fraud by the casino, fraud by the player.

Every game has money management plays that work for several games, and wouldn't work for others.

Sometimes luck is needed for the win, mainly it's skill and knowing when to quit.

Every game has a different amount of money that is needed to play comfortably within the given limit.

You also need to have a win goal, loss limits, making sure to handle the hot trends and the ice cold trends and chops.During the hot streaks, you need to maximize your return.The pros call this a plateau.

There are money management books on the internet, written by professional gamblers for gamblers.

Blackjack money management is different than say craps money management.

You need skill, luck, and money management, even a few stakers too, would be good to be a good gambler.Companies need the bank to stake them, so there will be some people that could be trusted, with a small amount of risk money for staking.

Integrity is important to life and it applies to religion and gambling too.Without it, life would be one big hell hole.
