Casino gambling bankroll

Surely I can win this amount, as long as I know what moves to make at the game."
Oh, OK, I'll show you how you can win a hundred thousand dollars. There are just a few things you need:

1.    A complete knowledge of the game you're gonna play, in this case, blackjack
2.    A solid money management method of betting
3.    Good strong discipline techniques
4.    And of course, a bankroll that will allow you to go for a 10 percent return. For a goal of $100,000, you can get by with a bankroll of about a million bucks, give or take a hundred dollars.

Let me relate a story about a guy from New Jersey, who also longed to win $100,000. It was around 1960 and this guy was down and out a hustler. He was too lazy to work, too unskilled to hold a job even if he could get someone to hire him, and too proud to beg. He had spent summers on the riverboats that went up and down the Mississippi River, playing in poker games with other wayfarers.

Back in N.J. he would go to Monmouth Park of an afternoon and "sell" his tips to seven or eight different people who would pay $10 for a hot horse. Each person, at different areas of the grandstand, would get a number to play. If your horse did not come in first, second, or third, you got your money back. Those whose horse finished in the money would be searching for the guy for the next race.

In a race, he was guaranteed to win $30, and this would be done two or three times a day, with the people getting the "lucky number" chasing our hero down, forcing him to take $10 for the next race. It took a lot of work, hiding from losers, driving down to the track each day, spending gas money and parkway tolls. He didn't park in the parking lot because that was $2, and the program could be found discarded in the trash by those people who stayed for only two or three races. Hey, saving fifty cents by not having to buy a program was part of the drill.

At night he played 25  or 50 cent poker, with guys who were just learning the difference between a flush and a straight and which was higher. Earlier in the evening he would spend a few hours at the local bowling alley, where there were always a couple of guys who were willing to wager $5 and $10 that they could beat him in a bowling match. It's funny, he always started off slowly and constantly lost those early matches by a handful of pins. When the "mark" would have his confidence built up to the point that he would wager $25 bucks, our boy would suddenly find his groove and pick up those higher Pots.

Pretty soon the itch got to him, and Vegas beckoned. Hey, he figured he had a $3,000 stake, a ton of knowledge, and some systems to use at the tables and he had read John Scarne and every other book he could find on casino betting. It was time to go west and bring ole sin city to its knees.

He figured there was no sense going after the penny ante stuff. It was time to shoot for the castle in the sky. There was nothing he didn't know about sports, so betting on the ball games in a nice environment would beat meeting Benny the Boob in a car on a deserted street every Monday night to exchange vans and losses.
