Session BR, Trip BR recommendations..

But then, as I have maintained for some time, this profession has its side effects and the smart ones move on to write books, join other professions or manage forums. Others linger on, waiting to pounce on a poster.

You are the one that seems to have the issue with your constant trolling. Just because BJ wrecked you don't project what you see in yourself on others. Projection is a totally normal thing that everyone does but why don't you realize you are seeing the world as a reflection of yourself rather than act like everyone else is as bad as you. I can always tell someone with light fingers by the way they talk. They say things like I can't believe people are so trusting around here and leave their belongings exposed for theft. He sees the world as a reflection of himself and that is everyone else has thoughts of stealing that they have to suppress. The ones not worrying about that see the world as trustworthy because they are trustworthy. Their comment would be I can't believe someone took my stuff. Your comments reveal how you see yourself. It is not an accurate description of others.

I had an upcoming trip (starting tomorrow) for 4 nights and 3 days, had about $4900 on hand, was wondering if I should go to the bank and get more before my trip. Yes, for loss limits session, I quit when about $1500 down but for planning a trip to play 24 hours and some 10-12 sessions at several casinos, I considered just starting out on the trip with $4900 but will probably go with $10k.

Zee, you should set a lower limit and an upper limit of how much money you keep on hand. Always keep on hand enough money for at least one blackjack trip at any given time especially if you are only playing for modest stakes. You could set a bottom limit at something like $10,000 and an upper limit of $25,000. If you go over the upper limit make a bank deposit to bring you under the upper limit. If you drop below the lower limit make a withdrawal of a few thousand to bring you back up above the lower limit. It will save you from making a lot of trips to the bank.

MWP raises an interesting point.

Zee, do you own or rent your home. If you own, consider installing a safe. Further, in my neck of the woods, we all have basements. If you have a basement in your home, consider installing a safe in some corner, and anchored right into the concrete.

The info is also qualified by having as few people possible knowing about it, especially critters who have access to your address through their respective loyalty cards that you have.

..I have never, in my entire play, been required to show ID for either cash out or cash for Government requirements....

WOW...that's impressive...the side bets always get me....;(((

Freightman, the bank is about .5 mile from my home. My BR is there. About $65k. I had about $7k in hand at home but lost a bit so now about $4k. I will run by the bank on my way out and pick up another $5k for the trip.

I should have qualified my comments to say that I live in Canada, and that side bet payouts are also tax free, though, if applicable, woulD be subject to Government reporting, as in Fincen.

Bosox, my postings are in a "stream of conscious" type.

You mean "stream of unconsciousness".

While many may have an interest in the answer to your question, why would you, with all your experience and self devised opinions, want to hear this again....and again.

You ask these questions and then devise your own reasons for doing something else. This seems to be more about seeing yourself in print then and engaging in any discourse than about the actual topic.

The answer is as recommended by Bubbles referencing CVCX in an earlier post.
