Unless you have a totally separate cache of money reserved strictly for gambling, it is all too easy to lose track of what you have lost in a casino and end up without the money you need for everyday items, groceries, your car, your house or your health.ĭiscipline while in a casino is hard enough even with an adequate bankroll. Lightening does not strike all that often, and winning after a day or more of gambling is nearly as infrequent. No matter how good the intentions to repay any of these other sources of a gambling stake, chances are excellent that you will not. And it most certainly is not a trip to the casino’s ATM to make a withdrawal. It is not your next car payment, or your next house payment. It is not money that you are saving to put you kids through school. It is not money you have in your billfold that was originally meant for buying groceries. It is not your payroll check that you take to the casino and cash at the cage. What a bankroll is not is money you carry around in your pocket for general expenses.
