just curious...

was it a big comeup (like 200+ ROI) or are you just playing with a bigger bankroll?

i mean, im the last person to tell anyone how to spend my money, but I am just curious as to how much you are playing with relative to the size of your expenses (or your disposable income). 

im a borderline addict, but for me its more about the act of gambling and the entertainment/excitement factor than it is the money.  I could never see myself walking into the casino, racetrack, or sportsbook with my rent money in hand trying to double up.

I have 3 accounts. Two checking and a savings. With my main checking account I pay all of my bills. I have a set amount going into my savings, and if I have some extra money that will not hinder my everyday activities I will throw that into my "gambling" account. So when I go to the casino, I am only willing to gamble with what I have in that specific account. Now I wont keep any more then 1k in the gambling account at any time, and even if I have 1k in it that doesn't mean I am willing to gamble with all of it. Yesterday I had around 500 dollars in it, and I took out 300 to gamble with. I won 1300, put my original 300 back into the gambling account, took 800 dollars and paid my January rent(I like to pay me bills in advance ESPECIALLY with gambling money), bought an overpriced Nike AW77 hoody that I would NEVER spend my "own" money on from Eastbay, and put the rest in my checking account. Now if there is a time where I lose all of the money in my gambling account(which happens from time to time), I just won't gamble until I am able to replenish that account without it affecting my every day life. I am honestly borderline addicted to gambling, but I think I am disciplined and responsible enough to not have it affect my every day life. That discipline spills over to the actual game I play (blackjack) which enables me to win more times than I lose anyway.

not fair to your gambling account that it can be used to pay bills...but the other accounts are safe from being used to gamble!

nah but your system is good to keep money separate so it doesnt interfere with your life but i would keep the gambling money with gambling money and keep growing it...your playing a game where the stakes dont determine skill level so with good bankroll management you can keep moving up in stakes and have greater returns...as well as fringe stuff like comps from the casino etc

Do any of you guys keep up on horse racing? Hollywood Park opens tomorrow and would like to know if there are any fellow handicappers out there.

I understand what you mean with the moving up in stakes and having greater returns, and I have contemplated doing just that. You just never know when you are going to have that night where everything goes wrong, and I don't waant that off night to be the night I attempt to go hard and go for the gusto. So basically I'm scared lol. I try to keep my investment low and spend most of my winnings. If I lost a BIG amount of money trying to big, even though it was money I lost that I got from gambling, it would still have been my money. I usually play 25 dollars a hand, and depending on how I'm feeling and if I am winning I will bet a maximum of 100 dollars a hand. One day I just want to sit at a table with 2k and start off betting 100 a hand, but it would be hard for me to lose 2k. Maybe one day...

You have a great set up my friend with the accounts and all. I would say there is risk and reward to be had, but also you could lose it all quickly like you said. One of my best friends is definitely addicted to the blackjack tables. He is the type to be behind 2 months of bills, get his commission bonus check of 2500 and blow it all thinking he will catch the wave again. Now granted, he has had a handful of HUGE nights but the loses heavily outweigh the wins if you add it all up. He has a 36k night (started with 3k) and ended up giving back 25k plus over the next two weeks. He spent the rest of junk. He did pay a few months of rent for us though 

Anyways, I would keep it how you have it now until you can afford to put more into the "gambling fund". Just my two cents. Be smart and most of all be lucky!

Only game I play is Holdem. Is there any other game that you can be legitimately good at? Holdem and sports betting were the only forms of gambling I relied on my whole life. I never really bothered with anything else because I wrote them off as games mostly based on luck.
