What you say about needing a big bank to make big $$$ is true. Small bank=small profits or large risk.

Angel, I don't like what you said about BJ, that is how I've amassed my 'fortune'.

That said, I do have a big bank, and that's how I can afford to live off gambling.

I did start it with small BR though...

Sir Cameron

What a fascinating thread! I am really interested, except I'm not actually sure what I'm interested in, or what you're suggesting.

I rolled over more than $90k in 5 months but the return was less than I would have liked.

Whatcha got in mind?

Mr J,I had absolutely no intention of replying to this post anymore as I previously stated to cameron398,but after reading your ridiculous egotistical post I couldn't stop myself.Let me quote you:
"angel,I don't like what you said about BJ,that is how I amassed my fortune".Just to set the record straight,I didn't say anything about Blackjack!All I said was maybe your a casino freak into blackjack,roulette,or even worse,poker machines.
You say you agree that you need a big bank to generate big profits.I agree.But we all have to start somewhere,and we all can't start big,and by your own admission,you didn't either!!!You start small,and build yourself up into a larger scenario,if you are half smart and lady luck is on your side.
So do you do have a big bank,and you can afford to live off gambling??Good luck to you,but you better protect that"big bank"or you may just find you can't afford to live off gambling.Where will you be then?Starting out small again,trying to build yourself up to a big bank again.Don't ever forget your grass roots,or where YOU started.And how small YOU started.

This is an interesting post. I guess from the 'outside' perspective, it's easy to see what you are saying in a number of ways.

From your own perspective you know what you want. Only just getting to it is the name of the game.

Sometimes matching your perspective and gain and receiving other people's may not coincide.

There is a law in ecommerce called Metcalf's Law a network (or your idea seen as useful by internet viewers) increased in value with the addition of each new user and that this value could be defined as the square of the number of users.

So perhaps that's the angle you might need to follow in order to find the supporters and eventually a major one.(I think Angel is already getting a bunch of followers happening from his posts..) In ecommerce or when you are using it to drum up your business, the value in your idea(s) exists when there are enough people who want to come back to use or to revisit and see what you are doing. And how you are progressing.

In short, it's probably good to spray it rather than say it, and show your mettle.

Respecting everyone in this thread so nothing here is meant to be pointing or accusing.

'Fortune' is relative. When I say 'fortune', it represents the money I have made of gambling.

My large BR will is extremely unlikely to bust. The ROR is just so small. I know we have to start small, but in order to make it big, you have to risk a large % in relation to a larger BR (obviously).

It is better not having to rely on gambling if you do have a small BR, esp if you have greater expenses, depedents etc. I just turned 20 . I can afford to risk more with a small BR, and be more conservative with a larger one. I guess you could say lady luck shined on me, because nothing went too bad, allowing my BR to grow quite nicely.

Yes I do live off gambling. It's not as if I need to make alot to survive on, I've saved 2 years expenses and have paid for my car in full. Most of what I make goes back into my BR.

I do remember what it's like to have a small BR, and no-one wants to be back there. That is why people lower the ROR as their bank increases.

As far as you mentioning BJ, my bad. I was skimming over your post and misinterpreted.
I took it as if you were saying BJ is a low form of advantage play, and felt insulted.

As far as wishing me luck, mathematically I won't need it. However, choppy results are always nicer than streaky results. Good luck to you too.
