My family wasn't that bad about it, but I think it is just a healthy concern for what is unknown to them; I'm sure they have heard "gambling problems" stories and are just looking out for your best interest. Luckily, my family seems okay with it - probably because of my bankroll management and playing with my own money of course. I think showing them there is a process and discipline (versus just gambling away money) helps to put them at ease a bit.

lol Funny - the irony is that in many cases, when someone tells you you will basically fail: it has huge motivational incentive to prove them wrong. I think it is safe to say you have succeeded in "proving them wrong" :D

Also, just curious, when did your family eventually come around to understanding your perspective? Was it your first MMT win? Perhaps a well-known event you placed well in? Or was it just a time thing they slowly got more used to over time?

+1 I am the same way. Bankroll management is much more than simply "not gambling what you are not okay with losing", but I find that demonstrating there is some system in place helps them feel better about it.

This cardschat member knows what they are talking about! :)

p.s. Yes, I quoted my earlier post. I was re-reading the forum posts and felt like commenting on some other posts together (instead of several smaller posts). I figured, why not quote myself as kind of a joke? ;)
