    Why is 'house money' treated so nonchalantly ?

    house money = playing in a gambling environment ; Casino , Racetrack , Bookie etc... And you are in the black and feeling good and tend to play on with an attitude that if you lose it is not your $ but the house instead.


    Your $$$ (buy in plus winning$) is your money NOT the house's

    Playing with house money is the best.. You have to win early on to do that though...

    That’s how I feel. It makes me feel less stressed and less angry if they happen to lose

    Posted about this many many times.

    It's not house money, it's your money, you won it.

    Treat it how you will.

    It's all house money until you cash out, and it's in your pocket. If you are gambling with it, then you really don't care that much about it in the first place.

    But the moment you realize it's YOUR money, you've taken the first of many steps towards gaining the discipline that the books can't control.

    good time to take a shot for those that don't care to grind grind grind

    big scores are the only satisfaction sometimes at certain times in life and for some people.

    Can't argue with that.

    You have to bet big to win big.

    Lord knows I've pressed my action many times.

    No I think of house money when I play an entire UFC card and half way thru the card I won enough to not lose any money the rest of the way.. I can even bet more with the house money on the last few fights and really clean up then if I so choose...

    Now betting MLB and other sports daily house money doesn't apply because all games are pretty much going at the same time.. I don't even think about it then.. Reset daily.. Back to the grind during the week..

    I love being up early with those UFC betting events.. It's all gravy then after..

    Depends on the person some people consider "house money" as profit just like any other day, And some people that win early try to have a "huge day" if they win early all depends on the person i guess. If you just has a great week betting sports and go to the track and hit a nice early DD some people try to turn it into a huge day,but most dont no when to walk away just depends on there situation and the person.

    "Depends on the person"

    It's easy to tell people who gamble for fun and those who do it to put 'meat on the table' - so to speak
