An alternate way to keep backup funds in game without the vault or alt

[Shaniqua]

Sometimes when I have balance  and fear i'm gonna bust soon what i do instead of using the vault is the following:

for the games, blackjack, i bet maybe 20k, and make sure i ge a 20, then i leave the game without clicking stand...  i also make sure the dealer is not showing a A or a  10 value card..
then for mines, i make a game, click a few mines, and also leave the game (leaving it in progress)
I tried with diamond poker to do the same thing, but sometimes it finishes the game for me, so with diamond poker its a little tricky....
So at the end if i bust... i eventually remember oh wow i have unfinished games on blackjack and mines...!!! i go claim the mines one, and if i bust, i know i have a good chance at winning the BJ game too!

Do you guys ever do something like this? if not, you should try it! I like doing this more so than the vault  

[anonnep]

very cool idea i wll try it!
i dont understand... you say does not  always work for the poker game? 
i try and let you know....

That seems much more cumbersome than useful, because not only do you have to remember you have those games open, you can't play them til you bust. You also can't change seeds while those games are open either.

What I do sometimes is change like 1/3 of the currency into other crypto. Then I put another 1/3 into vault/alt, and play with only a little bit. Diversifying money this way sometimes works for me.

This is one of the reasons I like the forum so much, I would have never thought of this!  I don't do alts and don't like vault in it's current form, so this is clever.  Glad you found something that works for you!

That means, you can't change the seed before you complete the games. Still risky tho, but it was a clever idea. I never thought if I got 2 losses in 2 games, and my pending losses are waiting for me. Not really a good option to keep it really safe.

i tried on diamond pokers and it works
 you try again and let me know if still dont work

Well thats also the beauty of it too...
                                                                                                                                                                          
If it is you forgot about it, you will get a magical treat and surprise of satoshi once you accidentally encounter it... and that feels so good... trust me...
On the other hand, its very easy to remind yourself about it cause once you try to change the seed it will let you know you have existing games!
                                                                                                                                                                          
ez pz  in reality and not cumbersome at all imo. but if you change seeds every 5 mins, then yeah its cumbersome i guess..

I sometimes feel the same and either opt in to use the vault or tip to an alt a portion of my balance just so if i do bust, i will have that bit of fund to rebuild. But most of time, i bust that too.. It actually happened today, i was sending an alt portion of my balance whenever i reached a certain amount as safe keeping but ended up busting it all as well. Haha.. So not sure if it really makes a difference, but there are times when after you bust your balance, your next roll or next few rolls is when the big hit comes. So having a bit of fund aside, you can go for it again. I remember always being frustrated hitting the big multipliers after busting the majority of my balance and had to be so tiny that it felt like a waste of a hit.

I really don't see the practical use of this. I mean, the outcome of the game is already predetermined, so by doing this you are just delaying the process of something which has already been decided. But if it works for you, then by all means use it

[Kate]

Wait a minute once you refresh or logout doesn't the balance come back to your account ? Also its nit a way to keep it secure like what the vault does. I wouldn't do this since its kind of risky because it can cause some errors and we might loose our whole funds or some problems may occur.

[SovietDoggo]

Cool idea! Would be great for a comeback win for after you lose it all, I will try this next time I deposit, because I always wish I didn't bet it all.

I'm still new to Stake, so I'm still in the process of learning about all the different games, but this sounds like a really novel idea that I'd probably never have thought of. I can't attest to its usefulness yet, but it is really so very novel! 👍

What if the money you put to the side busts? 

On mines, what if you hit a bomb the first choice?

The bust, what else

What he is trying to say is. You still have a game to play after you busted. You tend to forget the bets you made when you are concentrated on the other games.

And it says alternate, so it's "like" a vault but with risk

[Mahdirakib87]

Never thought something like that. That's interesting. But when we become crazy nothing can stop us from busting. We just need proper timing to do this. I will give a try like this way and want to see how it helps really.

[wilbur]

When becoming crazy like what you have said, then it depends already on the player. 

Becoming crazy sometimes gives you a crazy profit 😉 good luck

[Etude]

This is indeed a quite out of the box way of handling gambling funds, lol. That being said very creative!

[bmg]

very interesting idea.  I love your creative mind and the  things you come up with Shaniqua.  kudos to you on this dear and good luck.

[carolwebd]

I love this forum hahahahaaha. Such a nice idea, and it also sounds fun, "find" some money among my favorite games. Kudos!

[Laura2000]

I always say the same, vault or not depends on your character and personality.

Of course if you are a structured mind person, and you could control yourself, vault could be a very interesting options to keep your money, at least temporarily.

If you are the opposite, a very impulsive player, vault is the same as almost nothing, when you bust you could restore the money from vault in seconds, only doing withdrawal and clicking in a mail, very fast.

For me, that i am in the second group of persons a vault will be interesting is was like a safekeep box with retarded opening of 12 hours like the banks hahahaha.

This is what I have been doing and it works very well, especially if your changing from btc to something else.

For me this otherwise would be to risky for me as I would probably click the wrong tile in mines and bust 20k at once lol.

[federcampos]

The best thing is to bet calmly without winning everything from a lapo or recovering altogether because we can lose more than we earn have to think before betting and the best bet on low value coins so you have more chances if you get a long gap of pure red

[xtinepink]

No I never do this on purpose of saving a balance, I always just put in vault or the best thing for me is to withdraw it and put on trading exchanges. I think that putting it on the games still makes you play with it afterwards  

[rockandbit]

I definitely never done this lol.  Kinda like delaying one bet on different games.  It's very easy to use the vault though, I know there is that email verification but its still not bad.  But I always hated using the banking account method, and the vault is so much better.

[Mlc]

I like the vault feature it gives you a break from playing to go confirm the email ,which is generally what gives me pause to think if I want to continue , so even though this is a good idea I’ll probably still just use the vault ❤️
