Start off with a low bankroll. Work your way up to a big bank roll. That's how a gambler does it.

Once again you are right JJ. If you start with a small bankroll yeah you might have an excellent ROI but is it going to be worth the time invested?

Agree with JJ 100% if u have a small bank roll u start playing scared right off the bat. u need a big bankroll to weather the bad rides. if you are A 50 to 100 a game player you need a min of 2K to start otherwise your doomed.

I don't buy that you need to have a huge bankroll to make money. I started with a grand, won $800, took it out then ran it down to $25. I took that $25 and built it up to almost $4000. I began taking out weekly draws - a hundred here, two hundred there....five hundred one in a while. Now I've got funds in three different accounts and so far, from a starting balance of $150 at Matchbook that began July 1, I've taken out $150 and now have $500 in the account. Not big money but I'm taking out a few hundred a week, at least, sometimes more, and have no complaints. If I could add a zero to the end of it - and I think I can, that would be even better.

build up or get a job and save
then you will trully understand proper money management and the value of your own hard earned money.
why would one risk more than 1% of a bank in a stock that has atleast a 40% of hitting 0 by morning

If you are playing scared then you are using too much of your bankroll at one time.

If you win enough, you can start with 2 fish and a loaf of bread. It is not how you start, but how you finish. And NO ONE should risk all of their bankroll on any bet no matter how large or small. Foolish, foolish, foolish. A big bankroll helps but does not guarantee success, a small bankroll makes your losses seem bigger, but the most important thing is to win.

If you know how to win, -and that's a big if-, and you don't have money, you need access to people with money. They couldn't care less where the decimal point is in an impressive track record.

Earlier jjgold was touting a credit shop with $1000 credit line. Now he says you need a bankroll to have a chance.
JJ, learn the meaning of the word oxymoron please.
