I recorded everything. Every session. Every win, loss, deposit and withdrawal. For three whole months, I kept meticulous records of my casino activity. The goal was simple: to understand where my money was actually going, to find hidden patterns and to stop playing blindly.
The results turned out to be much more interesting than the standard advice along the lines of ‘be disciplined’. Here is my 90-day financial audit. Just numbers, honest analysis and conclusions that helped me avoid ending up with an empty wallet.
Methodology of my experiment
I started on 1 September and finished on 29 November. My budget for this period was 45,000 BDT (an average of 500 BDT per day). I didn’t set myself strict daily limits, but I strictly adhered to a limit of 3,500 BDT per week.
I kept a table where I recorded the date, time, game, deposit and withdrawal amounts, session duration, and my balance immediately after each game. No ‘I’ll write it down later’ — memory always lies in favour of pleasant moments.
My game set:
- Live blackjack (65% of the time) — my main tool.
- Slots (25% of the time) — for fun and in pursuit of bonuses.
- Live roulette (10% of the time) — pure relaxation.
What these 90 days taught me
During this time, I went through everything. There were periods of ‘calm’ when blackjack was ice cold and the dealer dealt himself 20 or 21 times in a row. There were moments when I lost control and exceeded my budget, trying to win back my losses — and it always ended badly. But it was precisely my strict accounting that forced me to stop and take a break for a couple of days, which ultimately saved my bankroll.
The most memorable moment was a random anomaly in the slots: I entered Razor Shark with a small deposit and caught a bonus of 12,400 BDT. It was pure luck, not strategy. The main thing I did was withdraw the money immediately and not raise my bets in subsequent sessions. I kept the same strategy and the same limits, not giving in to the temptation to ‘hit the jackpot’.
Final figures from the experiment
Below is a summary table of my 90-day marathon. The figures speak for themselves.
| Indicator | Value (BDT) |
| Total deposits | 45 800 |
| Total withdrawals | 61 700 |
| Net profit | +15 900 |
| Total sessions | 51 (28 wins and 23 losses) |
| Largest win | +10,900 (one session) |
| Largest loss | -2,100 (one session) |
| Total time played | 81 hours 35 minutes |
If we exclude that particularly successful session with the slot bonus (+10,700), my actual profit for three months would have been only 5,200 BDT. That’s about 57 takas per day. This is the real picture of systematic play without taking blind luck into account.
A brief overview of how to keep your money safe
Casinos are not a way to make money, but a paid form of entertainment. But if you keep track of your expenses, this entertainment costs you much less or even brings you a symbolic profit.
My 15,900 BDT profit is not the result of a ‘secret scheme’, but the result of me leaving on time and not letting my emotions eat away at my budget. If you don’t control your transactions in bKash and Nagad, you’re not playing — you’re just giving away money. Learn to count, and then the game will go by your rules.
