    Hmm..so what Don means is that if I resize my bet according to my current bankroll (ex. narrow my bet spread if I'm going down the hill on bankroll), I wouldn't have to worry about going broke regardless of ROR?

    Yes, resize your bet for whatever the bankroll is at that moment.


    The ideal ROR is different for different people. One problem is oftentimes your max bets will be dependent on the casino and not your bankroll. A casino might be okay with $1k max bets, but nothing higher. If bankroll X is sufficient for that bet size, it doesn’t matter if your bankroll is 2X or 10X, because you’re still limited to max bets of $1k. But that’s obviously for when your bankroll is a larger number and not something like $5k or $50k, where your bet size is more dependent on the size of your bankroll and sometimes based on casino tolerance (for the most part).

    What’s your goal in APing? If you’re playing full time and as a main source of income, your desired ROR is going to be much lower than someone who may just be getting into it or just goes a few times a year and does it as a hobby or side income/investment. Someone with a replenishable bankroll is going to have different ideas on what a preferred ROR is compared to someone who has no other way to make income.
