Is your betting strategy set by you… or by your Bankroll?

[@nn@_pen9]

Yes, it certainly has a significant impact on your gambling, whether emotionally or otherwise. Therefore, it's important for every gambler to be aware of how their bankroll can influence their decisions and behavior at the table. For example, if you see a high chance of winning, you're likely to increase your bankroll, right? This depends on how the opportunity presents itself. Gamblers with both small and large bankrolls will apply similar principles, and conversely, if their odds are small, they'll naturally be more cautious in their play, which can also minimize bankroll losses.

So what do you think… does bankroll size actually change your strategy, or could it even affect your emotions while playing?

My bankroll is very small. Just 1% of my weekly income and not more than that. But I still bet and gamble carefully because I still wish to use the 1% bankroll to win. There are times that I would win while there are times that I would lose. I bet with a little amount of money but I still prefer to gamble responsibly.

Since you are betting with a small bankroll, it is less risky for you, and there is less chance of losing money. Since you are gambling with 1% of your weekly income, it is safe for you, even if you lose, you will not feel much pain. And if you are betting with a large amount of money, then if you lose, you will definitely feel pain, so it is better to play with a small bankroll. Moreover, since you are a responsible person, you should always gamble responsibly, so that you do not get addicted in the future, so you have to play seriously.

Why all these seriousness with gambling if I may ask? Gambling shouldn't be this complicated like you people are handling it, aren't people gambling for fun anymore? It shouldn't be this hard.

Your money is probably going to get lost anyways, why should I worry about bankroll adjustments? All a gambler have to do is avoid been greedy, risk only what you can afford to lose.

I suspect that lack of self control is affecting majority of gamblers, I am a gambler who isn't into gambling for poverty breakthrough reasons, whenever I look into other gamblers this seem to be written all over them.

The reason why people get crushed in gambling is their own mind been trapped in the thought of hitting a jackpot as a gambler, they put in more effort on this only.

The size of your bankroll is not important in changing your strategy because you should never rely on gambling as a source of income or as a means to win as this is difficult and does not set any strategy.

So, the bankroll is only to limit yourself from exceeding what has been determined... so let's say your gambling bankroll is $100, then that is the limit If you want to last longer, it may depend on the game you choose with low risk.

So it's still up to me to decide... therefore, awareness is more important in gambling.

What I've experienced personally is that I've now developed a habit of gambling with fairly large stakes. No matter how much money I deposit, I always bet quite high, while some of my friends who are new to gambling do so with lower stakes. When I see this, I find it frustrating, as I'm probably used to betting high amounts. My mindset is that if I'm lucky, I'll make a profit, and if I'm unlucky, my deposit is gone and it's time to leave.
But for some of my friends, they play it very cautiously, as if they're not prepared for the potential loss and have high expectations for gambling. And I've found that bankroll size clearly influences our emotions and feelings when gambling.

Bankroll size totally changes the way you bet and how you feel while playing. When you’re playing with a small amount, it’s easy to go all-in and risk everything in one move, while with a bigger bankroll, you think more, protect it, and play smarter to make it last longer. And the emotions are completely different , with a small bankroll, the stress is higher, while with a bigger one, you can be more relaxed and make better decisions.

The amount of available bankroll certainly affects the strategy of sports betting, and in the case of gambling, it also affects the manner of gambling. Indeed, it would be strange for an ordinary person (not a rich one) to bet on the entire bankroll of $10000 at once. Most likely, he would want to spread the risks, rather than risk everything at once.

Many people enjoy the most gambling gameplay. They tend to stretch out time by making small bets. They are mostly slot gamblers. Others put the result first, that is, the chance to win. Such gamblers can make a large bet, for example, in roulette, and after losing, simply stop gambling, without experiencing the discomfort of gambling too short (of course, they experience annoyance from losing). I'm one of them. However, if I have a $10,000 bankroll, I certainly won't bet it all at once, despite my gambling style. I'm not an idiot. So yes, the amount of the bankroll greatly affects the gambler's strategy.

I’ve been watching the typical gamblers (small stakes) and the whales (people who bet big), and even though they’re playing the same game (sports betting), it feels like they’re not actually playing the same game at all. Maybe it’s because the bankroll isn’t just “money”, for some of us, it’s like our lifeline, so we treat it carefully, think twice before betting, and aim to make it last so we can succeed.

For example, a gambler with a $100 bankroll might be willing to go all-in, while someone with $10,000 will probably hesitate, value their bankroll more, and use proper bankroll management to make it last, and hopefully succeed in the long run.

I am sure that bankroll always plays a strong psychological role, not only in poker, but even in slots.
As you correctly noted, a bankroll can give a poker player confidence that he has a large sum behind him, and that he has a huge room to maneuver: he can use pressure on those players who have a small bankroll, intimidating them.

As for slots, a gambler can continue playing until the moment of luck comes. While a gambler with a small deposit may simply not reach such a moment.

It all depends on how much money the bettor earns, because both people earning the same salary can accumulate different bankrolls and someone will save for several years and accumulate 10,000. And someone will accumulate 100 dollars in a month.
And both such bettors will still be very different from the rich man, for whom $10,000 is not money at all, and he can afford to go all-in even for this amount. After all, he can easily restore it.

But having a bankroll size can make us want to bet high because we realize that we have more money today. We want to win big so we try to place a bit bet. That can affect to our emotion and forget about the safety.

Whether we have big or small bankroll, we need to be careful and not bet too high because that can give risk to us. It is how we protect our bankroll and not waste it in just a day. That is what a wise gambler will do if they have a big bankroll.

They don't want to spend too much because they remember the risk. They don't want to see their stress become higher so they will control themselves and use small amount to bet.

Maybe not all gamblers but some, you know about individual difference and partial influence, that's how some player are,  mild and will not allow any thing to influence how ever they have already planned to dish out their stakes. If they said it's going to be $2 in each role, that's how they will maintain it till the end, they might not even see any chance as a high probability and even when they do, they will still stake with the only amount that they have agreed to use.

It seems like there's a type of person who doesn't want to enjoy the game and is more concerned with winning or experiencing a quick loss.

That's a personal choice, and I don't blame them. Personally, I've gambled a lot, from large bets to small ones. It all depends on my bankroll. I think that minimizes losses, allowing us to implement various strategies to achieve victory, even over a long period of time.

It called strategy. I make the same bets on all events(may be except situations when i`m 100% sure in the result, or small bets with huge odds). Time by time i recalculate the bet size due to my bankroll changes.
Of course, it is not always $2, but about it.
The same time all people differs and someone need emotions from big bets and another one need profit, or just to relax.

[panjul07]

I'm type of gambler who use flat betting strategy so basically my basebet amount is as minimum as possible no matter how much my bankroll is.
Bigger bankroll for me means a chance to play longer while smaller bankroll, shorter time to spend in gambling.
Bigger bankroll will not make me bet bigger than I used to do and I will not change my flat betting strategy to other strategy such as martingale or other strategies.

[Solosanz]

For example, a gambler with a $100 bankroll might be willing to go all-in, while someone with $10,000 will probably hesitate, value their bankroll more, and use proper bankroll management to make it last, and hopefully succeed in the long run.

I don't think so, that's because you're still living in $100 bubble, we're living in different bubble.

You earn enough, so it won't hurt you spending $100 for gambling. However, your current salary are still can't afford to spend $10,000 for gambling because you feel that's too much and better to invest the money.

However, people who can afford to lose $10,000 in gambling is actually the same like you, they actually can go all in and it won't hurt them.

Bankroll size could change your strategy, but it's the size in percentage, not in amount. You earn $100 per month and use $50 for gambling, for sure you will be very careful to spend every dollar.

So you are prefering somethng like go big or go home vibes? Completely changes the emotional wager. Yes, higher stakes make you feel the real dopamine rush but it may also mute your emotions after losing, as it pushes the brain just to run after the thrills. Not just mindset, it is makes tend to seek more than you are satisfied & loss chasing biology as well. Continue betting high without any form of bankroll management? You are going to exhaust yourself emotionally or straightup gambler's ruin. Just try to balance the emotions with planning and setup, mate.

A large bankroll sometimes has a positive and sometimes a negative effect on the gambler. A large bankroll sometimes makes the gambler confident and helps him control his emotions. Because even if he loses, he will still have the opportunity to play again. This helps the gambler to remain mentally stable.

Sometimes, if the bankroll is large, the gambler becomes overconfident and loses by placing big bets. On the other hand, if the bankroll is small, the gambler may make wrong decisions due to emotional pressure. Therefore, it is very important to manage the bankroll properly, no matter what the bankroll is.

If you bet small amounts, the risk will be low. If you lose by taking a lot of risk, there is a possibility of disaster later. Those who do not take gambling as a profession and just want to have fun, they bet less money. It is better to control your bankroll for playing for fun purposes.

[Slow death]

The normal thing would be for people to have good bankroll management, which means that regardless of the amount they had, they should apply the same way of spending money so that the bankroll would last for a long time without running out and without making new deposits, but also so that the person could have fun.

But unfortunately, what happens is that people want to win a lot of money quickly. They are not playing with the intention of having fun. For example, if they only have $10, they will choose the highest possible multiplier and bet with $0.20 in each section. But if they have a lot of money, something like $100,000, they would put $10 in each section and with multipliers above 1000x because they want to win millions and quickly.

So what do you think… does bankroll size actually change your strategy, or could it even affect your emotions while playing?

Bankroll size would definitely affect my strategy, because how I’ll manage $100 is quite different from how I’ll manage $10,000 bankroll.

If I had $100 bankroll I think my stakes would be different, quite low because I wouldn’t want to blow everything and only stake a little higher when I believe in the game that I’m about to bet on but for a bankroll of $10,000 I think the stake would be quite higher than usual - the fact that I could get that amount into my account means that I can afford to lose it in the first place (very important to consider) so increasing my stake wouldn’t be a big deal for me because I know that I know I’d have to risk more since I’m no longer stuck with the limited amount I had when it was just $100 bank roll.

It is how we determine ourselves. If we can afford to bet huge amounts, it is okay as long as we never exceed our budget.T

hose who bet small amounts are those gamblers who want to stay gambling longer. Although both are different styles of gambling, guess what? They can possibly fall into addiction.

In other words, it completely depends on the mindset of the gambler. We can influence others and make them follow what we did. The most important thing is not to exceed our limitations.
