I've just read the new additions to the FAQ sections and I agree with the
entries. Other than specifying vp betting, there is no substantial
difference in meaning or sense of what the term means. The entries on
psychological bankroll, trip bankroll and session bankroll are useful, but
maybe make the term seem a little more complicated than it really is.
Bankroll is bankroll--what you've got to play with, but certainly NOT the
credit balance left on your Visa, next week's grocery money, or your house
payment. The key word is "earmarked," meaning it's money you intend to
wager prior to actually wagering....not money you may also wager once you
lose your bankroll. It seemed to me that earlier in the thread the
implication was that bankroll could include any funds available, even those
not "earmarked" for a specific trip or session. Of course it can, but then
defeats the whole purpose of having the term to begin with. May as well
just ask, "what are your total assets...fine, go play vp."

This is just a matter of semantics, but my understanding of the common
usage
of "bankroll" and "bankroll calculations" is different .
Accordingly I've just added Question #55 to the FAQ to accompany Question
#56
