Before you logon
to the casino, decide exactly how much money you
intent to put at risk. Since most players will be
using credit cards in some form or another to establish
a bankroll, it doesn't take much effort to go back
to the cashier every time they get a little short.
That's a major no-no, regardless of what your credit
limit is.
Whenever I gamble online,
I always decide how much I'm willing to charge, and
then set a maximum loss limit of 50% of that bankroll.
That 50% represents an amount that won't wipe me out,
yet still give me a decent amount to compete with.
So, if I set up an account for $500, the second I'm
out $250, that's it, the show's over. Now, that doesn't
mean that you should double what you would have used
so you can halve that and have a higher amount. It
means you should think about exactly how much you
really would put towards your bankroll and use only
half of that. Why should you do this? By setting a
limit of 50%, you not only prevent the house from
totally wiping you out during a particularly bad run,
but also you have the first half of a new bankroll
already set for the next time you want to play.
In addition to helping
you restrict your losses, this method also helps players
to take advantage of the deposit bonuses that are
so popular with Internet casinos. For example, by
depositing $500 at a sit that offers a 10% deposit
bonus, you're doubling the bonus knowing you'll only
risk half of the bankroll. Step
