    Bankroll/Unit size question

    Let's assume that you play at 3 different books. This is the amount of money you have at each book:
    Book A: $1000
    Book B: $4000
    Book C: $5000
    You are a very conservative gambler and you only bet 1% of your bankroll on each bet. Tonight you find 5 bets that you like and Book A happens to have the best lines on all 5 bets. Now, do you bet 1% of $1000 on each of those bets or do you bet 1% of $10,000 on each of those bets? The bottom line question is, do you consider your "Bankroll" the combined money of all the books you have money at OR do you consider your Bankroll the money you have at that particular book? Thanks in advance for the responses.

    My vote would be that your bankroll is 10K. And bet 1% of that... Regardless of the book and its balance.

    I agree with maverick your bankroll is your overall balance. If one book gets wiped out but you are breaking even or profiting long term, you will score a reload bonus this is a nice benefit of spreading your funds across several books.

    bankroll = total balance at all books

    it would be good to have more, easy book to book transfers
