I just want to ask what are your thoughts on having a large capital in gambling?
Does the capital matter in gambling? Is there any advantage if you have a large capital?

Since for me, it is always the same even large or less capital. Having large capital will only help you to stay longer on the table unless your bet size is huge too.

You said it best, having a large capital makes you last longer on the table. It also depends though, if you are playing poker, you might want to go for a large capital because some rounds you might need a considerable sum of money, you might not want to fold because of pressure because your bet is dwarfed by the amount of chips the other players are left with. If slots, I do not think a capital will be necessary because you can get lucky at some spins and one spin does not cost that much.

Having large capital is an important thing on gambling. You can survived even you had long streak losses in any of game you playing. You can start with bigger bet too with that large capital, while you can't do it with small capital.

From my perspective & experience.

When you have a large capital, you will try to raise the bet higher than low capital because when you gambling and win something from the bets with a small bet you will be thingking. The win compared with my balance was really small and because of that you will try to adjustable the best comparing with your balance, I also got this experience with 500$ balance and bet 1$ was really small for me comparing my bankroll then decide to raise up a little bit my bet to 5$-10$.

for me it has both advantage and disadvantage, having large capital give you an advantage to bet on multiple times, its also give you confident, having that said also have disadvantages, you might not see it, but you tend to bet a lot, and might see at first that your bets more  since your thinking is capital is not an issue, my final thoughts about it is that no matter if you have large or small capital, studying the game will give you an advantage especially with large capital more wins means lots of returns.

My thoughts on a more considerable capital on gambling mean that gambler is wealthy AF. Lol. Kidding aside, having more capital means more room to be on and has a massive pillow before blowing up and losing everything. It depends on how the person will react because if you have an analytical approach towards gambling.

E.g., 2% of total capital per bet. Then, it wouldn't matter because it will always be 2% of your capital.
E.g., $200 per bet. It's going to be a fixed bet whether you have a $1000 capital or $100000 capital. It would matter. You would stay longer on it.

If you have a larger capital, you will have an immense advantage. You will stay longer, and the opportunity to win will increase, depending on the odds, of course and the risk management. Overall, bigger capital wins, for sure.

Large capital and the right mindset is the key to winning a good percentage and staying longer on a gambling site, if you can moderate your greed not to pour too much on one bet, you can take the case in the game of dice using martingale if you have a large capital and you are ok with betting small in order to keep up with doubling until that winning roll, your winning maybe not that big but if you can keep up with 15 to 20 bets you have a chance to win and stay longer, but it takes discipline and fighting boredom is a big factor.

Unless otherwise you don't have enough knowledge with regards to proper risk management.

I've seen a lot of people dumping most of his money without realizing and strategizing the amount of money he could risk per bet. And I think that's the reason why people having large capital doesn't guarantee they can last longer compared to an average gambler. Remember that gambling is a means of risking an X amount of money on an event that solely relies on chances.

That's the problem. It's the education on how people are going to be successful in gambling. I believe that first of all, you could never assure the success with profits in investments, especially in gambling. Even if you have great risk management, if you are emotional, you could get too much into it and can make mistakes.

I hope everyone could get that analytical approach towards their money and make it a percentage type and not rely on luck too much. I mean, hey, it's their money.

Yes, it is good if you have a large capital in gambling, but that will only work if you control yourself.
No matter how much your capital, you will not be able to manage your money without having control.
I think capital does not matter in gambling, but the advantage is we can place a bet in any amount we want.
If you use a big capital in gambling, you will feel that you have money that you can use to gamble for longer, and I do not think that will be good to stay longer in gambling without a control.

If you were to gamble online, or just regularly without any strategy, then there's no difference between a large or a small capital. However, if you were to coordinate with the casino owner (especially in physical casinos), there's a small chance that they may, just may, remove their house edge for the duration of your play. Though tbh, you'd need to spend an astronomers amount before they would even think of doing so, just so that you can play more. Still, this doesn't honestly mean much, since you'd still rely on luck to win. There were some instances of such examples, like the few people who won against gambling casinos iirc. Looked some samples back then which was why I saw it.

There is still a big difference. Let us talk for example a simple martingale strategy at 2 to 1 payout. With a capital of $500, you can start at $1 and you can endure a losing streak only of 9 losses. With a capital of $8,000, you can endure a streak of 13 instead.

And no casino I know can remove your house edge by asking;) Some do give you bonus for leveling up, that is the only way.

If you really have a lot of capital, it might be just as useful not to gamble. Then you know for sure that you cannot lose it. if you feel in the good mood or greedy then you might consider to gamble to double it

In my experience, there is only little advantage for me if I have large capital. That is, as already mentioned, staying longer on the table. Because most of the time, I only stop gambling, if I have no more money.  :P Because once I go inside or log in in a gambling site, I know the money that I will be spending is really considered spent already.

I think it indirectly gives you an advantage over having less capital.You said it right it keeps you longer but you miss the point that if staying longer you have more spins and consequently more chances win.The same can be said for other games like roulette,a larger capital means a bigger number of bets and a bigger opportunity to win.

There's always an advantage of having a huge capital in gambling. Rage bets can be handled and goal profit can also achieved. But since Ive experienced big losses even I have huge bank roll, no matter what strategy I make when I play in long term, the house always win.

It's purely luck based. There are times that I have small bank roll but I manage to win big.

It's also a matter of self control when winning. You can definitely recover when you have enough bank roll but this is still gambling where risks is always associated no matter what approach we will make.

Having a large capital basis in gambling makes a lot of sense and will increase your chances of winning long term drastically. A lot of strategies in gambling require a decent bankroll to start with. And the bigger your bankroll the higher you chances to not go bust. Most people like to follow a martingale strategy that tends to increase bet size when losing. The more capital you have, the better to sit out bad variance.

When it comes to betting on sports or other events, it is necessary to bear in mind that not all casinos can accept big bets and thus have to distribute the balance over several casinos. This reminds me of a story where a guy won 20 Bitcoins for President of the United States: https://bitedge.com/blog/i-won-19-7-bitcoin-betting-on-the-2020-us-presidential-election/

If you are patient to do a calculation and follow your calculation up to 20 losing streaks and follow this strategy even if takes a lot of time to make a profit, a martingale is a game where you want to have a large capital to chase your losses, but it's still not a guaranty that you will win 100%. 

I suggest you determine it first if you are already ready to risk big capital in gambling.

The type of game you will play matters a lot, that's the first consideration, if you are into sports betting, then I would say that's a good idea but the idea to use a big capital when you have not yet proven that you can win most of the time is a bad idea.

Start with a small capital, evaluate yourself (should be an honest evaluation), then you can go with big capital if you are convince enough of your capability.

• It depends on the type of person who wants to gamble. lots of big bettors to make quick profits with these big capital.
• are also those who use large capital with a small base bet to be able to use the Martingale strategy.

After I learned about the gambling system about Rakeback and weekly or monthly bonuses, I now use whatever capital I use for Wagerd in order to get Vip on the site I play, namely Stake. lots of exclusive bonuses that I can get. the most important thing for me now is not to use my personal money to bet.

One advantage in having a big capital is that you don't have to worry about the minimum withdrawal unlike with a small capital all it takes is a couple of losses to go below the minimum withdrawal and it feels like the point of no return as you're forced to continue playing or make another deposit. From my experience having large capital is more of a disadvantage as you have more options to do more aggressive strategy that rarely works out.

Large capital is not an advantage, your advantage is if you are winning.

Actually, with skills it's easy to invest on it, you are raise money to start a big capital, provided you already know how to win consistently.

You have to remember the fact that majority of the gamblers are losers, you taking this step makes you put yourself in a risky situation, you could lose your money or you can gain a high reward, that's gambling.

Large capital is good for those who knows how to handle their large capital, even if you have a large capital that means nothing if you are a careless gambler, small or large capital if the gambler is good he can come out with a good profit, so it's better to learned how to gamble properly and responsibly.

It all depends on what type of game you're playing.

If you are playing a -EV game, then the amount of bankroll you've got seriously does not matter one bit. What matters is your gambling volume - how much you bet directly determines how much you are expected to lose in the long run.

But if you are an AP, or playing a +EV game through taking advantage of sportsbook odds for instance, then the whole equation changes. Having a larger bankroll, in this case, would help you immensely as it lowers your "risk of ruin" and helps you reach the "long-run" faster.

The risk is still the same but the advantage of being able to recover loses from betting all over again can help having a huge capital to use in gambling. Though it's much regretful if it will all be at lost. But if we think we're too good in gambling and have high hopes that will be able to win then setting up budget for gambling can be fine.

For me its a yes. Try to think on using up martingale strategy and when you do have bigger capital then you would really be having an advantage since you can cover up long streaks
compared if you do have only a small amount of bankroll when you do gamble but of course when it comes to risk on losing then it is really just the same.The thing when you do have
bigger bankroll is that you do have bigger amounts of profits when you do make hits but well risk:win ratio is just the same neither you do have small or big.
Not all gamblers are all financially capable when it comes to gambling thats why there are only average ones and whale gamblers.

In my opinion, having a lot of money helps, but it is not a determining factor for you to succeed. This can help to stay longer at the table during the game to recover your loss. But it is also good to be careful, as you can get very greedy and have problems.

Turning $20 into $200. Is identical to turning $20,000 into $200,000. Both are 10 times gain on a percentage basis. Its better for new gamblers to wager small sums and focus on consistency and percentage gain. Its the best method to gauge how successful/unsuccessful they would be wagering larger sums.

There's more pressure wagering larger sums of money. Which can lead to less rational choices. Having to spend lots of money to make lots of money, isn't an approach that should be tried in gambling.

The difficulty level in sports betting has increased dramatically since 2018. After wallstreet investors bought out sportsbooks like william hill and their influence began to be felt throughout the industry.

The more the gambler chooses to chase losses, the larger capital will be required to survive during the challenge. For a small bankroll, it is hard to chase losses for a long time due to the limited features of bankroll and small bet size. The multipliers will stay the same but the bet size will be different depending on the bankroll. Better gambling can be done with high bankroll amounts but smart gambling is not only about the bankroll size. The greed and fear will always stay active no matter how big or small gambling bankroll we have.

It adds up to your advantage, but the main advantage is when you are playing it right you have your own method on how you are going to play and use your large capital to win, it's not really the large capital that will made you win in a gambling, in fact you can lose it all  in a short period of time if you are playing carelessly i have seen that on many gamblers.

With large capital one can ease the process of taking back the losses. For this certain strategies needs to be applied. In most cases this gets to be effective, but the same requires luck if not the fund reaches the wallet of the house. Another thing, these high capitals are much beneficial for casinos games than sports betting.

I exactly agree, with the large capital you can do chasing your losses and you can place a bet with a large amount, and once it will win you can stop and cut your profit. But if you are unlucky, large or small capital is the same result to have losses, it may also wipe out your entire balance if you don't have luck at a time.

For me, if you are going to ask me I prefer the large amount that willing to spend on gambling. But I think putting too much capital in gambling is not needed because that is gambling, not a business.

The larger the capital, the longer you can stay on the game.

The larger the capital, the more comfortable you are as you won't pressure yourself to win as you have a backup.

But for me, I like to have a small capital mindset so that I will pressure myself to win hence I will do everything not to lose so I will do a proper analyzation on all of my bets. But this mindset is not applicable when playing luck-based games.

Depends on how much percentage you had put in because even if you do have large capital and you do bet out 30% every single bet or game same goes into your behavior when you do have only
small capital then it would really be just the same.You will be having the same outcome or how long your capital would last.Thing here is that when you do have bigger amount is that you can
really adjust up your own analysis neither you would go with small or bigger bets according to your like not the same when you do have less bankroll which would
limit out your decisions and the only way i do see it as an advantage is on when you do able to enjoy even more time since you do have bigger money to spent.

Psychologically it could help from less stress while betting, better leeway in your strategy but its also possible to just make the same mistakes without gaining anything from it necessarily .   I bet a little every day and just put a cap or budget on it, its not much but adds up over time and I find thats better to learn or pace myself so large capital is not altering too much for me except you can say the % win or loss kicks in various loyalty bonuses maybe.

Huge capital would literally give you a long time fun with gambling if you wouldn't care for the loss. Eventually you'll be losing more often than winning, but we all have the lucky charm within ourselves what's advantage with huge betting capital is winning the highest potential prices. If you're having small betting investment then you're only getting small return, unlike with bigger risk you could get higher amount of gains.

This is also what I am thinking since I am a trader too and I can compare sometimes gambling and trading, especially in term of capital of your account.
I think if your bet size will depends on your account size, let's say by percentage of total balance on your account, capital will not matter even you have small or large.

Well for me it doesnt matter even you have large capital or not. We're talking about gambling so its a must to be knowledgeable on the game you're going to play and of course luck.

If you have large capital but you're not lucky and always lose then having such amount is not an advantage to win big. On the other side small capital can turn big if you happen to be lucky.

Thus as long as you're lucky (regardless of your capital) then it is possible to earn huge.

The advantage of having a large capital is that you have the luxury to stay long playing in the casino, provided you will maintain a moderate amount per unit. Another would be a higher chance to recover your loss since you can absorb a relatively large amount of loss and continue to play.

As opposed to having only a small amount, once you lose that limited amount, your wallet is already drained. That also means your time is up.

However, I guess it is just a mere difference in time mostly. After all, the ending is oftentimes the same for both gamblers bringing in a large and small amount: going home losing. In which case, the one who brought a small amount is also advantageous in a way for having only lost a small amount.

i am trying to explore more the gambling world more now ( because in the past i only Plays in local Houses that sometimes illegally operated just to survive our gambling needs lol)
and extending in watching Videos in YouTube ? mostly the average capital of is $1,000 or More in which those who wins large amount.
Sorry but i think i have different perspective and views in this matter, I have tried to deposit 10$ (when i was out of funds but wanted to play) and deposited hundred or more as well.

I find it difficult to extend or find winning in small capital , but with larger i am hitting good multiplier , i don't know to others but this is my own observation .

 im always gambling with low capital not because i like this but i cant afford to gamble big though i always dreamed of if what its look like to have a huge capital , for sure i can bet big and win big , i can also wagger big which leads for higher vip level and huge bonuses but the drawback is im also going to loose big if im not going to be lucky .

im still thankful somehow that being a low capital gambler have an advantage and that is to loose less and i can also stay longer if i wanted too .

Well if it goes for poker then that for sure has an advantage but that depends on the gambler, you may have the capital advantage but if you're greedy, no risk management, plans, and strategy you'll end up wasting/losing that capital. If you're gambling and the house is your opponent remember that you can't beat it the more you wager the more you are losing unless you hit that million jackpot then leave instantly, well, the capital still matters but it only matters if that could last until you hit it.
