Question on bankroll

[DaveG39]

Just wanted people's thoughts/feelings/opinions on starting bankroll for the following games:

Craps,Baccarat/Blackjack,Euro Roulette,Video Poker/Slots

Assume flat betting throughout any/all sessions so bankroll should be expressed in no. of bets to bring to the table. Thanks all.

With online casinos, I like to start with video poker with no less then $500.00 dollars, with $5.00 bets on the single game. If starting with less I'll only wager $2.50 per hand hoping to build up enough to move up to $5.00 hands. I always start with video poker. If I get real lucky and get to thousands, I'll move up to $25.00 hands or $5.00 (15.00) three hand poker. If at this point it cools down I'm careful and pay attention to balance and move right back down to $5.00 single hands.

When bankroll is around 1K or more I'll usually give real series slots a push at $5.00 max bet per pull. Also at times play let it ride a little and hope to get lucky early for $10.00 or $25.00 per starting hand. But for let it ride you usually need at least $500.00 to give it a fair shot. So visits there are not that often. Also, if bankroll is dwindling and getting short, go to real-series for $2.00 pulls and wish hard.

Hate online craps, BJ, roulette, and all other games. (online)

Well, I mostly play slots, so I guess the real question boils down to do you want to play or do you want to win (both is good).

When I play slots, I usually start with about 1 percent of my backroll. So if I'm playing with $20, I play 18 - 27 cents, with the odd 40 or 60 cent spin thrown in.

Even with $100, I start out about 40 - 75 cents

You can easily go 100 spins without a feature. So even with that percentage, I often get little playtime.

If you are willing to go home with almost no play time and a 20 percent win, just bet $1 on every $20 deposit, and sometimes you will hit a decent pay and sometimes not.

The longer you play, the more the casino will win long term.

I know that, but I still want to hang in for more than 6 minutes when I sit down with my deposit, my beer and my leisure time.

And often if I take a deposit bonus, I get impatient and bet too big for my bankroll trying to hurry it through.

Guess that is why I am a valued customer
