Money

Since I'm starting to play a higher limit more often I find myself bringing more money than I'm used to to the card barn. My problem is after about 30 bills it no longer fits in the clip I was using. The rubber band while classic is bulky and of course bends the bills a lot, and I could just see it popping out of my pocket. Anyone have any clever solutions I'm not aware of? I want to bring about 40 bills.

get bigger bills?

I don't have this problem. If i did, I'd get a nice bill fold that clasped.

Uhm I don't think bills higher than $100s are in general circulation.

I have a wallet which has "real" money in it.

Money belt. Nice for your situation, and nicer if you get mugged. pocket the original buy-in, everything else is safe til you need it.

Get a box at the local card barn. If you don't want to become that big of a degenerate, then keep high-denomiation chips for your buyin, and just cash those in ($500 chips are common at most casinos). It's not like you are gonna spend that money right away anyway.

There's no boxes. There's no chips greater than $100. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

I asked my bank nicely, and got them to raise the maximum daily withdrawal limits on my poker account, which solves the 'money going into the room' problem nicely. As for money going out of the room, I went out to jewelry stores and tried out money clips until I found one which holds 50 bills comfortably.

It seems that if you go into a jewelry store and explain that you really need a better way to carry $4,000 or $5,000 cash, they're more than willing to accomodate you.

I don't like the $500 or $1000 chip idea solely because I have been dumb enough to lose a $500 chip for about two months. It seems a lot more difficult to lose a thick stack of cash with an identifiable clip on it.

I've been using a rubber band for like 30 years and have never had the roll jump out of my pocket. It seems to be the preferred method in Vegas for "real gamblers" -- pulling money out a wallet will result in snickers and knowing nods as the regulars eye up the novice.

BTW, the <font color="red">red ones</font> are lucky, and best if you either find it or someone gives it to you (doesn't matter if you ask for it.)
