Playing with THEIR money?

[MATTJONO]

personally.


i would hate it if i raised $400 on any casino game, and then went and blown it hoping for a bigger win and if i made $400 (origianl profit) to $900 i would probably say the same thing again ''shud i take the winnings or have another shot at anthor big win gamble.

i love to gamble thats a fact and im sure we all do, but if we gamble too much we will never walk out of the casino with any profit what so ever.


example of what i would do (or would hope i would do)

walk in with $800 raise to $1000, so we are +$200 (25% profit)

then with the +$200 profit i would take 25% of the winnings = $50 and use this to play with.

25% of the winnings for the NIGHT goes towards the bigger gamble bets, and to let the gambler out of you for a while.

Well as I see it we have to make an distinction betwen how your money is an investment and how your money use an capitalizing method.

a) First you have the basic foundation regarding what your money is as an investment.
b) Second comes the basic foundation regarding how you Handel your money at the tables.

Off topic, I'm sure, but MATTJONO said this "to let the gambler out of you for a while."  winkel has also said that. 

Could it be that the "gambler in you" will come out even if you don't want him to? 

On topic:

When a dealer scoots a stack of chips over beside my bet, those are my chips.  Now, consider this:  Are you UP for your entire life?  If you truly are, you might consider that "won" money.  If you're NOT, then you are just trying to scratch you way back to even. 

When my wife asks if I won, I tell her I just made a dent in the deficit, that's all.

Sometimes, breaking even is winning.  Ken

[Lohnro]

So in my example above..... I walked in with $800, left with $800 but lost? You sticking with that?  Ken

I am Ken, but I am not sure I would of given the same answer if you had asked -

"Lets say I go to the casino and am down (net) $400 playing, whatever. I did not play any other games except the one over a couple hours. I continue to play, whatever game(s). If I go home breaking even, did I win anything for the day? Meaning, I walked in with $800 and walked out with $800"

[Mr J]

Thank God for Lohnro! I'm getting slammed all over various boards tonight. I need sleep, will do battle on Sunday.    Ken

[TwoCatSam]

Ken

I hope you don't think you were being slammed on this board!  I certainly hope you don't consider my answer as a slam.  I have not been up the mountain; I only have opinions, not laws.

Sam

[Mr J]

No, no, no! This board is top notch my friend TwoCatSam. Two other boards, four different posters......nothing but insults. Oh well, I'll get over it. I have to relax a little. Its not worth it, getting all worked up.  Ken

Mr. J

Read my latest post on /Compa's thread.  We must think--oh, I hate to say it--out of the cat box!  Yours is a often debated question.  Good food for thought while showering.

Sam

[Mr J]

"Yours is a often debated question." --- I try and ask questions like that. Not to start trouble but to get people thinking.  Ken

[Mr J]

Thanks, I wanted to wait until I had a few responses. Let me switch it up a bit. I walk in with $800. At some point during my visit, I am up (net) $500. I lose back $300 of that and leave with the $200 profit ($1,000 total). If I lost $300 and made a profit of $200, that would mean I lost $100 but still left $200 up. Yes, no?? Do you understand the question? Help me out here. Ken

[MattyMattz]

LOL,

great point Ken.  I'm still sticking with my original way of thinking.  If I were to walk in with 800$ and leave with 1000$, that's a win.
