Champion or Loser

With out knowing the exact facts, it’s easy to categorize gamblers into 3 categories:

  • Big Winner
  • Small Loser/Winner
  • Big Loser

The massive mass of the gamblers is, of course, in the last class, "Big Loser". I would say that about ninety to ninety-five per cent of the gamblers fits into this category. When reading "Big" you need to read it as percent of the money won or lost. Even if someone just plays for ten dollars for his or hers entire life, wins and doubles it, is a "Big Winner". You see, the person wagers $10 and comes out with 20 dollars, so his or hers web revenue is one hundred per cent. That being said, the distinction amongst a "Big Winner" along with a "Big Loser" may be very small.

Let’s say you’re a smaller stake Hold’em player, your internet earnings each month is about five percent of the bank roll. So when you started out with a deposit of 100 dollars, first calendar month you’d go $5 which would rise your bank roll to 105 dollars, next calendar month $110.5 and so on. To go from $100 to $200 takes among thirteen to fourteen months if your net revenue is 5 percent per month. What about in case you started out with two hundred dollars? In thirteen to fourteen months, beginning with 200 dollars along with a net earnings of five per cent monthly, you’d have involving 380 dollars – four hundred dollars in bankroll.

This is another example, but here your internet profit is -five per-cent per 30 days and your deposit was one hundred dollars. After a year, your bankroll would have gone down to $50-$55, which is nearly 50 % of your beginning bank roll. Lets now say that you got a bonus of $100, so your beginning bank roll would be $200 with the exact same net earnings per month. Following a year now, you’d probably still have 108 dollars.

This is why bonuses are so critical when you start building your bankroll. Bonuses can turn a "Big Loser" into a "Small Winner", or a "Small Loser" into a "Big Winner".
