One day about a year ago I figured I would start with $20 and see how far I could build that up. But I knew I needed a system. And on top of that I knew I would have to stick to it. I was using a book that allowed me to make $1 bets. So I started with one dollar bets and my goal was to increase my bank roll by just 25%. That would bring my bank roll to $25. I did that. Then it was on to stage 2. My goal then was to increase that ($25) by 25%. That would bring my bankroll to $31.25. I did that.
It was actually February the 27th when I started thinking about this and laying the groundwork. I figured that my unit would be 5% of my bankroll. So when I reached $31.25 my actual unit would be $1.56. My new goal was $39.06. This means that I needed just $7.81 to reach my new goal. When I win a wager at -110 I would net, at this point, $1.42. That's actually 18% of my goal. This is actually a very simple system. You keep your units at 1/20 of your bank roll. That's actually pretty agressive, so you could customize it and make your units to be 2% of your bankroll, or whatever you prefer. And all you care about is your short term goal. And that is to increase your bankroll by 25%.
I figured this: If you can take $100 and turn it into $125, it wouldn't be any more difficult to turn $1,000 into $1,250. Your increase amount is still just 25%. You can take a week to do this. Or a month. You would be amazed what kind of money you will turn your bank into in just 24 months if you increase your bank by 25% just once a month. Look at these figures...
Month 1: Take $20 and increase it by 25%. Turn it into $25.
Month 2: Take $25 and increase it by 25%. Turn it into $31.25
Month 3: Take $31.25 and increase it by 25%. Turn it into $39.06
You get the picture. With discipline this can be done. I did it and it was only taking me 3 to 10 days to increase my bankroll by 25%.
By level 20 you will have $1,735.13 and your goal will be $2,168.91. Let's move forward...
By level 30 you will have $16,159.68 and your goal will be $20,199.60. At this point you can just bank that 25% that earned ($4,039.92) and start over at $16,159.68. You will be earning $4,039.92 every 3 to 10 days. It's the power of multiplication. Turning $16,159 into $20,199 will be no more difficult than it was to turn $100 into $125. It's all just a 25% increase. Sounds easy right? So why couldn't I do it? I got sloppy and started betting too many games. I made it to level 10 and faltered there. But I did it 10 times. If I hadn't gotten sloppy and used discipline, I could have gone further.
So I'm gonna try this again. Right now my bankroll is right around $719. So I'm already at level 16. This is after I've deposited more money. I made it to probably July of '07 with this and aborted it. This is the first time I've attempted this again. My goal is $888.38. That's all I care about. If I'm at $881.38 I will make a bet just to put me at $888.38. That's all that matters. Once I get there my goal will be $1,110.48. I've got to go to pick up my fiancee. I'll be back later.
