Most of all, should I concentrate on building larger bankrolls for baccarat and blackjack, or should I remove $13,500.00 from the baccarat bankroll and maintain it at $100,000.00 or what?
Currently my baccarat bankroll is $113,500.00.
Currently my blackjack bankroll is $45,000.00.
Thanks,

What does ‘bankroll’ actually mean to you? If you lose the $113500 playing baccarat is that the end of you playing baccarat? Or does money move from a different account so you start playing again?
But to simply answer your question, when playing a -EV game, the answer is yes, remove the $13,500. By ‘removing’ it, that just means it goes to some bank account where it will NEVER be used for gambling, correct?

I have put a good amount of winnings previously into both, 529 accounts as well as specialized financial accounts paying a much greater yield than 1%.

What does bankroll mean to me? It means those are my available funds to play and drawdown on. I use a very little percentage each session and if I was not successful in the session, I rethink the return as well as a second drawdown factor. As far as stopping, I honestly cannot tell you at this time.
As far as removing funds from my bankroll. I do not and have not ever used those to gamble or chase lost funds. Also I have removed or never added plenty of winnings to my bankrolls, in excess of $100,000.00 and used for other purposes, savings, investments, 529 accounts, shopping, etc.
The next thing to do is put $50,000-$100,000 into a ransom bag and let someone you trust know where it is. With all the information you've revealed about yourself, it's just a matter of time until internet pirates come after you or your loved ones. You need to have the ransom handy.
After you have taken care of those two, and only afterward, you should be setting up a pad for your goomah. Now that you are beginning to get into the right circles, no more illicit meetings in parking garages and cheap hotel rooms. Do the right thing. You can tell an awful lot about a man by how they treat their side pieces.

Was that an insult, to imply that Marcus is mafioso and has a mistress? Or was it light hearted banter between friends?
I doubt that Marcus has revealed anything to identify himself. He's just another anonymous poster on a forum. I'm happy to be corrected.
Meanwhile to answer Marcus's question.

Retain $100 from bankroll, with which to easily make your next $100k at baccarat.

Oh NO! No insult complaints or charges for Billryan at all being lodged by myself. (Side Note to be fair thou. I have been suspended for similar and as well, I have had a few breaks for innocent innuendos…..).

(Personally I do take offense to your insinuation that I have girlfriends or mistresses on the side. Since you brought it up, I will add that I love my wife and always have and I’ve been true to her in every way, since we were faithfully joined many years ago. Other females do nothing for me and only my wife can press my buttons and turn me on in passionate ways. And it will always be that way. I might say the 2 bankrolls I have developed and the things I have been able to purchase as well as the funds I’ve been able to set aside, has additionally added extreme enhancement between my wife and myself. Other than that, I don’t give a flying F about anyone having their ‘side pieces’ as all that does is cheapen their own ability to be a real man and live up to their real responsibilities that they pledged themselves to.)

https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=Fugaze%2FFugazi
https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=fugazi
gabagool looked up in the Urban dictionary I found the following.
The americanized version of the Italian word "Capicola" made popular by Tony Soprano and other ignorant 2nd & 3rd generation Italo-Americans who have forgotten how to speak italian properly.
Capicola is a spicy deli meat similar to ham or salami.
gabagool
Italian-American slang word for a Southern Italian vagina.
Man, I gotta get me some of dat gabagool! The spicier the bettah!
So yesterday my assistant whom is of Italian American decent, says “ man I’m heading out for some gabagool, I thought he was referring to going to an Italian deli in the shopping plaza nearby.
In the early 80s, Fugazy was usually used to denote a cheap knockoff. Bill Fugazy had a cut-rate car service that pushed living the dream for pennies on the dollar. Eventually, he was exposed as a complete fraud and the term morphed from meaning a cheap knock-off to a complete fake, or even something that exists only in one's mind and the accepted spelling seems to have changed. People use fugazi instead of fugazy, perhaps out of respect for Bill's two sons, both of whom inherited their fathers legendary temper. I imagine it must suck to have your family name devolve into a term of derision. Their grandfather started the first bank in NY that catered Italian immigrants and came up with the idea to lease pushcarts to fruit and vegetable vendors who lacked the means to purchase them. Bill Fugazy was a grand high poombah in the Knights of Columbus and on the Board of many a charity before he was exposed as a fraud.
Perhaps we should have a word of the day thread.
Anyways, getting back to the subject of the thread, the OP hasn't mentioned putting any of his bankroll aside for taxes, but I'm sure that was just an oversight.

Many of the APs I know file quarterly. An extra $100,000 or so in gambling income every few months tends to wreak havoc on one's tax situation. Putting aside 15% of one's winnings towards their eventual tax bill is prudent.
I assumed part of the reason MC posts his winnings here is to have a paper trail for his tax returns. I've no doubt he pays all his taxes, I'm just curious why he hadn't set it aside from his "bankroll". It seems like a rookie mistake and I would hate for him to blow it all now and then have a huge tax bill.
Thanks,

Until recently I typically lost playing slots and craps, but now that I've read all the valuable info posted at WoV by the vociferous aficionados / "experts" on how to win at baccarat I changed my play to baccarat exclusively and now I always seem to win.
Fact is, the last three times I went to the casino I had to use a wheel barrow to haul out all the cash; not to worry though, I decided not to pay taxes on it so I gave it all away to the myriad homeless roadside beggars.

And maybe you are not aware of, or possibly did not think of how a business has to have working capital, inventory and other ‘assets to operate. Declaring a win or let’s assume a win and taking it all for a salary or profit and using it is one thing but not taking a profit or a salary and merely having access to it as inventory is quite another.
Oh, I went to the bank and borrowed $300,000.00 and put it into my bank account for working capital purposes. Hey I have to pay taxes on that next year, oh lord. Lol!
I follow the advice of a CPA tax attorney that charges $350.00 an hour. She has a bit greater (seriously just a tad bit) knowledge than Internet forum members disgusted by putting mustard on a Coney hotdog because of tradition from one of the great states of the original 13 colonies.
Hey, I had to vent a little after breaking up a fight between a couple of seemingly gay guys because one of them was flirting with an absolutely beautiful female at the roulette table.

when you say build a bankroll, do you mean, by adding more winnings to it ( growth) or by adding external funds to it?
It sort of depends what eventual wealth you aspire to.
Since you grew a tiny bankroll <£1k if I recall into this $150k or so, you COULD aspire to continue to grow it exponentially and be a multi millionaire this year.
Or you could just keep creaming surplus 10k or so a week off the top to maintain your capital.
Or you could have a blast extracting >100k from it to set yourself up with some nice possessions. Pay off some loans/mortgages? buy two nice cars etc. Then with the residual few tens of k, just grow it again to another couple of hundred k.
Maybe research and apply kelly criteria. Estimate your current player advantage* and bet full kelly for maximal, safe, bankroll growth.
Of course, if you figure you don't have an advantage and have just been lucky, stash the cash and just leave a pocket money recreational bankroll.
