In any game of chance in a casino the odds are favoring the house or casino. This is why it is called gambling. The more you play the more those negative odds are going to eat into your bank roll. But there is good news in the short run. By playing shorts sessions and following some strict rules you can change those odds more to your favor.

First, in every period you should have a set spending limit. No matter what occurs stick to that limit and no more. This will help to limit losses on bad days and keep you going till a better day comes. This is very hard to do, but it is essential for this system to work. Dont deviate from this limit at any time.

Second, establish a time limit for your playing sessions. Usually a hour is good, but some use a half hour. You must make yourself quit no matter where you are in chips. Even if you are winning big and have a hot machine. The reason is obvious, the odds are against you and they will get you the longer you play. Dont deviate from this limit anytime.

Third, no matter how much funds you have when your time is up stop. A big mistake people make is they say I am $10 up or $10 down, so I am basically even, so I will try another hour. This does not work, after your hour is up stop. These basically break even periods are important for your bankroll. Another mistake people make is if they have $10 left they just play it off even after time is expired. You have to remember these $10 add up and give you a extra session after a while.

Last, do not drink when you play. I know this is tough becuase the drinks are free. You dont want to be impaired when your trying to win some funds. When impaired you are much more likely to play more money than your limit or go over your time limit. So stay sober and stick to the plan.

In summary the way to succeed is self-control. It is difficult, but essential. If you look at the system it limits the time to play and the amount you can lose. These are good things. Also, at the same time it allow’s you to win as much as possible in your time limit and leave with some money in your pocket if you have not lost your limit. All these things accumulate and your bankroll should grow also. Remember that self-discipline is the key to a bankroll management system.
