Default Non U.S, residents, how are you handling the low U.S. currency rate?

Hey just want to know what everyone is coping with the dismal U.S. currency rate right now.

Do you keep a large bankroll in Neteller and the pokersite and wait for the currency exchange rate to improve before cashing out to your bank?
or do you cash out a fixed amount every couple of days etc regardless.

I don't like to keep a very large balance in my account so I check the exchange rate everyday. As a Canadian, our dollar is soaring in relation to the U.S. rate and it's hurting us bad. Now it looks like our dollar will continue to rise. [img]/images/graemlins/frown.gif[/img]

Cashed out 80% of my online bankroll into pounds sterling a couple of months ago when Party were offering an alarmingly good exchange rate. That money is now worth 5% more chips than it was [img]/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img]

i caved and just withdrew my money. figured it be better to take out at 80% than to take out at 90% few months down the road.

I remember getting 50 cents on the dollar you really didn't have to win much to get decent money by Canadian standards. Now it's pretty tough at 20 percent or less. Maybe it will force me to go up in levels.........

Have you guys calculated conversion fees (spreads in exchange rates there and back)? I am nearly sure that Neteller/rooms cutting their percent when you move money there and back to another currency TWICE.

They probably do that's why you keep your deposit currency in the currency that you play. So for most sites you keep the money in US dollars, others Pounds or Euros. I wish Party was a Euro site right now........

Default The trick is to lose now, then try to win it back later. *NM*
