Most of us have heard about and tried managing our bankroll by setting predetermined winning and losing amounts.  But in the online casino, money amounts change far too fast and often end up on the losing side - even after setting limits.  Why is this so?  Well, for one, the winning limits are usually unreasonably to high - and are never reached in the first place.  Secondly, as opposed to land-based casino where players can physically put chips and money to the side, online casino gambling only enable a virtual account that cannot be cashed out instantly.

In an online casino, rather than set specific winning and losing limits, try setting percentage limits.  It is in your advantage to do this in an online casino because you have all the time in the world to decide whether you want to play another hand or not (unlike the pressure to decide while sitting at a live table with other players).  Use this time to calculate winning and losing percentages instead.

For instance, if you give yourself a 20% limit to your bankroll (at its greatest amount), you are more likely to walk away with some winnings.  Let's say you start with $100 (your default bankroll).  As soon as you earn at least $120 (more than 20%), that amount becomes your default, from which point on you set a new 20% limit.  Let's say you lose 20% (which would bring you back down to $100 again), it is time to quit.  However, if you earn another 20% - bringing your bankroll to $140 - this now becomes your new default bankroll to set another 20% limit on.
