Click on the links to view the tip BANKROLL LOSS LIMIT By far, and I mean by faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar, this is the most important part of your day and yet it is a rule broken by over 90% of gamblers. It is the LOSS LIMIT you set for your Bankroll and if you don't got a clue of what I'm saying, then your are probably part of that 90%. When your size 14's hit the floor in the morning of the day you are heading for the casinos, you should begin thinking which game you will play, how much you will bring, what your Win Goal should be, and all the other jazz that goes with a trip to the tables. But how many of you set a LOSS LIMIT on your money .....an amount of money you will lose that will cue your exit from the tables? I've been gambling since Christ was an altar boy and I know what its like to lose. In fact , years ago , it was the only thing that I perfected because I did it every day, When it finally entered my head that the only way to preserve a Bankroll was to cut losses on the days that things were going bad .....it signaled the time in my life when I realized the importance of this setting of a limit on the amount I would lose on a table. My advice is a maximum loss of 50% of your starting Bankroll .....and yes, I've lost half of you people already, My friend Lee Tiltight is in a financial bind and is a little tight on money, which means he has only a small amount to bring to battle. If he takes only $100 to the casino, a 50% LOSS LIMIT will means he has to wrap up his day when $50 is gone. Tough Tookies. If you can't gamble sensibly, then you shouldn't gamble at all. I don't give a rats tail if you bring $100 or $10,000 to the casino, the most important figure you set is that Loss Limit. Up to a starting Bankroll of $2000, your LL should be 50%. As you increase your Bankroll, you decrease your percentage. With a $2000 start, drop your LL to 40% .....with $3000, go to 35% ..... with $4000 the LL goes to 30%. I KNOW most of you can't or won't follow this tremendously important part of your day, but until you do , you don't got a prayer of a chance of winning consistently. My friend I. M. Madork says he has a LL: "When my starting Bankroll is gone, then I know I'm done for the day".....What a dork (and you wonder why they build stalls for donkeys?) If you play down to your last chip as your LL, then you have a lot in common with other losers. I'll be going over LOSS LIMITS again but my next message will touch on the proper way to play craps .....you beginners oughta give it a listen (you old time players are too stubborn to change, and too set in your ways to realize there is a better way than the Pass Line method) JOHN PATRICK
