[QUOTE=bkeiller;33450]Serious question but how does one determine the size of a bankroll. I understand if you are a professional and have a set amount but what if you are at a credit shop and also have a monthly income?? Is it the amount that you could lose in a month, a year??[/QUOTE]
It is the sum amount of what you have set aside for gambling purposes that you can afford to lose over a period of time. That does not have to be a year, it can be a season of one sport. I know some people who set this for each season, some who set it for 1 year.
I guess there are plenty of ways to determine this but a credit shop should not influence what you have personally decided is safe, based on your current situation income/savings..
