Are they THAT bad players to make this worthwhile? I'd expect them to cheat right and left as well. I guess it's good practice, but it's nerve-wracking.

Having multiple people doing the bank opens up problems/hard feelings.

You're the host, you're stuck with the bank. Record the buy-ins and cashouts, check the bank totals (chips out= cash in) several times throughout the night.

The hands you miss are probably all 72o and T2s anyway. :P

This seems like you have some serious math problems.

My guess is that you are probably making mistakes when you cash back out. What I do is first ask the player how much he thinks it is... then I count the chips myself (creating stacks of $10) and if the number is the same, then it's most likely correct. If is isn't, then recount it together and out loud.

As far as buying in... I like to give out a lot of smaller demonimations in the original stacks (the ones most easily checked) and then when folks re-buy, just give them one or two higher denomination chips and have them color-down at the table. It's a lot harder to make a mistake when someone gives you $20 and you give him two $10 chips.

Finally... if you are the bank and you are the house, you make a house rule that says you can only rebuy "between" hands and the deal pauses until all rebuys are completed.

If after all of this, you are still short at the end of the night... well, then, you might just want to quit hosting.
