Default MONEY and B&M

I'm an online player, previously when i went to a casino i just carried cash, since then ive moved from low limits (3/6) to 15/30 and if i were to play in a card room now it'd be 20/40 and up. So being the child of an electronic age that i am, what do you people do about regular old money?

All my banking electronic, but i have an atm limit of i think somewhere around 400-500 a day, but i'd need 2k at least to sit at a 20/40.

How do you all deal with cash, go to the bank before and after the casino? Truthfully i'd like to go with 4k or so, maybe sit at a 25/50, but i just don't like the idea of having that much csah on me, nor of going to the bank before and after.

Anyway i can use my online e-banking network so i don't have to walk around with so much cash?

This is why Neteller needs to put ATM's in cardrooms.

Can we say $5k withdrawal limit?

You won't be the only one carrying cash at the casino, just get used to it. You can go to the bank before and after, or just keep a few G's stashed at the house if you go regularly.

It's all psychological. Back when I played live I carried a minimum of 8 bills on me and I played 5/10. Infact it became an annoying mental thing, I have scaled back to about 2 to 5 bills until I go to the ATM and reload. If you drive to the casino you should have no problem once you hit the parking lot as security is to the max in all casinos. The problem is having a huge roll lying around your house or apartment and possibly losing it to theft or having to explain why you have X thousands in the house and your not a criminal or deviant gambler.......

Most cardrooms that spread those limits have safe deposit boxes available. The ones I've seen in the LA area require only a $50 key deposit, with no rental fees. I would imagine this is similar in most cities.

For travel you can find some sort of money belt in most any luggage store.

Once you are in the casino, though, do go into a mens room stall and transfer it to a big rubberbanded roll so you don't look like a tight ass tourist at the table. [img]/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

seems ridiculous that some online sites and casinos can't get together and figure this out. By the way i got first dibs on making this happen, cause i'm gonna be RICH.

Back in the old days I just had a line at the casino and would sign for chips. Don't they do this anymore?

If you want to play at a B&M you better get used to carrying cash. Fact is, I dont feel right if I dont have at least $2K on me at all times...but thats me.

Use Valet Parking and never put your money or wallet in your back pocket.
