    Question What do you consider losing?

    Say you start with a $100, you get it up to $1000. Then you go back down to $300. Are you up $200 or down $700?

    It depends on how you look at it. If from the perspective of your starting bank roll, then you're up. If from your highest account amount, then you're down. I would be more concerned with the starting bank roll. After all, starting with $500, winning $30K and losing it all, is not the same as starting with $30K and losing it all.

    PS. I think this question was discussed not too long ago.

    Down $700. Because I hate the phrase "playing with house money".

    But, it's really a glass half full or half empty argument. It's all a matter of perspective.
