How much you guys invest in gambling?

Just wondering how you guys manage your bankroll.

How often do you withdraw or do you reinvest your winnings?

Obivously if you were winning, wouldnt you want increase your bankroll and expand.

just some questions.

Thanks

I keep a set amount in 2 books now.I used to leave it all and take out after the SB but this year a rarity happened and I tripled my money already so I took out all and put back my starting bank roll into 2 diff books getting the bonus on it and starting over.The wife was very happy and I got another bonus.After today I might pull some more because if I leave it I will bet it.Managment is the key.

Also I never increase when winning.It goes quick when you start losing.I only increase when a game jumps at me and then not much.No 20* bs for me

I set myself goals to reach in each of my accounts. Upon reaching that goal then and only then do I withdraw. This helps motivate me and helps with discipline too.

I try to do this also. Goals are important in life and gambling.

Withdrawals

I am a pretty small player, but have had a very good winning streak and have withdrawn almost $12,000 in the last 2 weeks. Has anyone ever heard of any problems from their banks with a wire transfer? What method do you use to withdraw money from your online accounts?

I have used both transfers and checks.No problems either way with my bank.But I would keep my withdraws under 10,000 because anything over is red flagged for the IRS.

Have you ever heard of this??

DK...anything over 9900 is subject to government eyeballs if you deposit at one time

also...you cannot do 2500 a week for 4 weeks...they will aggregate it and find you as well


is that true??
