My Experience on Bulk Bankroll vs Partial Bankroll

[Darker45]

In general, I have eventually adopted an approach that makes the most of those strokes of luck. They're not around all the time. So when winning, especially if on a streak, I often think it's best to raise bets. There is confidence instead of worrying you might lose. And then there's the money to bet. But when that luck is gone, it's about time to reduce bets. Going back to step 1 is the way. But I don't maintain my bet when I'm winning. That would be boring and it feels like it's a waste of opportunity.

I know we have different style and behavior. Some people might be lucky on bulk bankroll and others is like me who’s lucky on small bankroll. What do you guys use?

None. I deposit a small amount, I gamble, if that week I win an amount I consider sufficient, I withdraw it, and if not I gamble until I run out of funds and deposit again later.

Using bankroll management in negative expected value games can only make your money last longer, not win or not win.

The cards have no memory.

Another way of putting it is that each roll is mathematically independent of the previous one.

The only possible advantage I see for one bankroll strategy over another is the psychological effect:

In short, I’m easily become greedy and careless on bet once my bankroll went down below my initial bank roll.

Often, more than luck or probability, it is our emotions that screw up the results. If you find that the second bankroll management strategy works for you, use it instead of the first, but it will probably give you better results because it makes you play more rationally and not because it gives you better results mathematically.

Small bankroll works fine to me, it's not because I always lose if I play using bulk bankroll and I always win if I play using partial bankroll, but small bankroll will control your emotion and you have nothing to lose. When you're use all of your bankroll, you will play with under pressure and you're only chase to win which is not good for your mental health. It's better to allocate 5-10% of your money to gamble.

This is a well-considered and common practice of playing with a small bankroll, although I very rarely play, but I also adhere to the same tactic of not putting all available funds on the line, especially since I am not some kind of advanced player, but sometimes greed can interfere and change plans, but put up to 20% of the available free means it is reasonable.

I’ve been doing this for months and I usually get 80$ to 100$ in profit. But of course this profit is just for recovering loss from my previous game when I use bulk bankroll. This happened to multiple times and I’m finally getting my phase on making good profit.

That is a pretty nice return, hope you can keep it up this year. Like you I am also using a fixed gambling balance each month, but mine is a bit lower, I usually only use only 100 USD per month for gambling. Whenever I make a profit I take half of the profit for saving, and the rest I allow myself to increase my bankroll for the next week. Your partial bankroll approach seems much better in my opinion, you are betting on higher winning chances and manage to get a higher profit as well. I think it's best to try and reduce your risk of going bankrupt as much as possible. For me poker is the best game to make a consistent profit overtime, I am also using a partial bankroll approach and keep sticking to the smaller blind tables. Its better to   stick to a winning strategy and making small gains to our bankroll than risk losing everything in one bad streak.

When we see that we have a large balance in our account, we will want to gamble with big money because we will assume that it will be okay to lose that amount. After all, we still have more money in our account. It will also make us greedy, especially when we can win big wins. It will make us bet even more. But the reality is that we will lose more money, even the winning money that was in our wallet, we will use it to bet.

So instead of having that kind of experience, I prefer to prepare some money and use it for gambling but not immediately use it. That way, if I use the minimum bet, I can gamble a bit longer and who knows, I can get a decent return or break even.

almost the same story but my experience in roulette.
when I use the money I made from the signature campaign around $50 I will easily make a profit of around $100 to $150 with a base bet of $5 - $10.
but my mistake was when using a betting budget of $ 50 and getting a profit for example $ 100 I will continue to bet until I want to get $ 300 and I continue to continue my betting on roulette in the end all the winning money and my budget are used up.

but when using a $10 or $20 betting budget I am more careful and enjoy every bet I make to $100 and when I get to $100 I stop and withdraw my winnings.


the conclusion from what I experienced was that when we gamble using a large budget, of course we will chase big wins with a bigger base bet. because it is the nature of greedy gamblers when holding a big budget.
but when using a small budget for gambling, we will definitely value our budget more by betting small bets and betting carefully.

Partial or small bankroll is still better for me especially if you have a limited budget and wanted to play longer.
I guess this will always depend on how much risk you can take and how much money you have during that time. I did some bulk bankroll before, and I just lose in an instant that's why I started to limit my bet at a small amount and just enjoy the game while not expecting to make money that much.

I think if the purpose is playing for long, it doesn't apply effectively with the small bankroll and limited budget at most cases.

If you are in a small bankroll and want to play longer, what you need to do is just bet around the minimum amount allowed.

Although in that way, you have to accept that it will take time to feel the profit and you need tons of luck to hit good multipliers to somehow feel the profit when betting in a small amount.

When you are really just that going for longer duration then you would really be that minding on  how you would really be making your capital to last up as long it should which it would really be pertaining
on trying to save up or making minimal amount of bet on each roll or bet.

It doesnt really matter though because not all would really be that impulsive and having that good control when it comes to their capital.Sustaining or trying to make the duration as long
as possible.It is understandable that you neither be doing those impulsive actions and that would be situational.

Same here although my only difference with you is that I don't want to play longer. Despite of a limited bankroll, I still make sure that I am not betting too small so that when I play on a slightly higher multiplier and when it hits, I still get something decent.

Why did you lose instantly when you play with a much larger balance? Did you accidentally push that max bet button? Because, I can't find any reason for you to lose instantly in the game, other than that. I know these things because I and other gamblers do already experienced it. This is why many crypto casinos now have the option to disable the max bet feature. In gambling it's also important to not be greedy but we must learn to stop so that the money that we already win won't turn into a stone/dust.
