I am trying to figure out the best way for securing bankroll when moving from place to place.
One way is to just carry all your cash with you all the time, but that is slightly risky and also makes civil asset forfeiture a little more likely.
Another option would be to open a savings account at a bank with branches in every major city (i.e. Chase or Bank of America). But I have heard that if you make a lot of large deposits and withdrawals, they will force you to close your account. How large/frequent do your transactions need to be to have your account closed? If you impose a daily maximum deposit/withdrawal threshold on yourself (i.e., visit every day but never deposit or withdraw more than $1k or $2k in a day), would that be good enough to keep your account opened indefinitely?
A third option could be to wire funds into casinos, but would that be easy to do if you are in different places a lot? Would it be easy to wire the money back into your bank at the end of your session, or would you have to leave the casino with cash?
I have heard that some poker players can get a box in the poker room like a safety deposit, but would it be wise to leave huge sums of money in a casino and trust that no one can break into your box?
Maybe there are some other options. What is best?
