I use profit percentage as my restriction to not overplay too much. I usually set 100% of my initial deposit as target profit before I stop gambling. Sometimes my bankroll got busted before I hit that target which means I need to stop gambling for the day and move on for tomorrow. I use this method after suffering a huge loss by just chasing more profit even though I already gain so much money. I admit that I don’t have satisfaction on just winning because I don’t have limit goal before.

Now, I manage to play in moderate way and increase my profit in general because I already control myself on when to take profit and stop gambling for good.


Are you using using same method on limiting your gambling crave? What’s your percentage goal?

My profit percentage is kind of similar to yours. I aim for 2x or 100%. Sometimes I get more than this and many times I go busted.
But whenever I am in profits I make sure to have got at least 100% and more after which I quit gambling for the day.

I do not have a limit or a goal while gambling but I gamble responsibly, could you believe I just went for Tottenham match today, even it was win or draw and the odd was 1.1, I just do not have any goal when gambling, but I am responsible with my income, just 5% or less of my weekly income are spent on gambling weekly and I often win than lose because I am not concerned to win or lose, but I am choosing the best games that I think would be best of having more chances of winning. I am not saying someone should go for low odd, but where my prediction went today.

I focus on a profit range of x3-x5. If you take a higher multiplier, then the winnings will be too rare. If you take lower multipliers, for example x2, then it will be too stupid and sad for me, because one day winning 100% of the budget and losing the same 100% the other day, I will lose all the money without any interest due to the bookmaker's margin/casino. This is true for other multipliers (house edge) but it is much more fun to get x3-x5 at least sometimes than the maximum x2.

I sometimes do this this trick and targeting for a profit of twice or 2x the amount I gamble however this only apply depending on how much I put on my bankroll. I don't usually care about any percentage on profit if my initial bankroll is too low and try to enjoy as much whether I win or not but sometimes I try to win atleast more than 10 times the amount I've gambled on when it's too low.

My gambling profit percentage limit is around 2x-3x only, I wouldn't try to catch more higher since it just make me to lose the whole of my money. But I'm not kind of a person who only stop gambling after I get 2x-3x of my money, but I also looking by how long I have played too. So it's either I already reach enough profit or my gambling times already done, this strategy is work for me to control myself.

In my case, I don’t have this kind of profit limiter because I only playing using small amount per day or whenever I feels like. I never intend to win huge amount when gambling so I’m just playing for fun and sometimes for claiming bonus on the casino as my profit. I think many people has same as OP preference on gambling session to control there expenses but you will never enjoy your gambling experience if you are limiting yourself. It’s better to not deposit an amount that you can’t afford to lose to avoid this kind of commitment.

My winning percentage in gambling is small but I do it regularly. In gambling i don't think I am addicted but it attracts me greatly. I try to budget for it every month and cover the whole month on that budget. It gives me a lot of pleasure that cannot possibly be obtained from anywhere else.

I admit that I have never really considered percentage profit limit when I gamble, what I consider however has always been the amount I use in gambling which I set a limit to and is usually fixed. Thinking about it I now I feel like if I only consider the profit percentage limits and set a target that I intend to meet, I might use too much money in gambling and not consider the amount I spend in trying to get to my goal which can be dangerous, correct me if I'm wrong.

I'm a small-time gambler and I always make sure to bet responsibly so I could manage my capital wisely. Doubling my initial funds would be enough and as much as possible, I don't aim for too much because I might have a hard time controlling my emotions from feeling too overwhelmed which might lead to greed. Sometimes I stop when I get at least 50% profit.

100% to 200% for less than 100$ bank roll
20% to 50% for 200$ and above bank roll

I have this kind of parameters on my gambling time but sometimes I go beyond that limit when I’m playing games with high multiplier probability like game shows and slots. But I always stick on this limits when playing on straight payment ratio games like dice and cards to make sure I will have a break for being addicted.

a genius will know the core point of what to do. different from people who rely on emotions that will just throw away what is already there. people who can control will be organized from a thing with minimal risk. everything happens from experiences that make strong thoughts into positive or negative currents that will grow into behavior. make management of this percentage better not to indulge in lust again which will lead to a big loss

I usually do not use limits based on the percentage that I have won but I am perhaps based on the possibility of playing bets on matches were I am confident (for example, I know the team or I know that competition/sport well)...
because setting "statistical" limit it is possible to lose some opportunities in an arbitrary way :(

I haven't been using any such strategy to book the profit for the day and stop, however, I like this idea of yours.  I follow a different way to follow the money management technique.

Can you tell me how many days your balance gets busted due to this and are you in overall profits?

I gamble for fun that’s why I always bet on the team that has the best chance of winning. Although there profit percentage is very less.  I have no problem with that. I love low profit  but never lose. less then 50% is enough for me . high percentage is not any fucking motivation for me. winning is my target

Usually I stop playing once I realize I'm too lucky or once my luck starts going away... Not that it has mattered for me, since after some days doing that I entered the loss field anyway.

Some people adopt a bankroll management strategy to recover losses and revert the situation. They try making 5%-10% of total bankroll in a daily basis. If they make the goal percentage they are done for that day and if they lose the goal percentage they stop as well and come back next day until they reach the final goal or until they go completely busted. I was following a youtube channel where the youtuber was doing this consistently and responsively, but I confess I've lost the will to keep following this content due to my personal losses in gambling.

Funny how this situation is too relatable to any gamblers out there. We all know that our luck will always run out so whenever we encounter a win streak, we tend to be hesitant whether we continue gambling or stop. My strategy when this situation arises is to stop when I lose 2 to 3 times consecutively to avoid losing all my winnings. I tried not stopping before and try to continue despite the continuous lose streak and end up losing all my winnings and my bankroll.

I wouldn't call leaving at 100% profit stupid. I agree that sometimes you win 100% and sometimes you lose, but whatever the upper limit is you're good as long as you keep the lower limit similar. So one day you win 100% but the next day you start with half of your total money, meaning that you play only with the starting money and withdraw the profit. If you lose you're back at the starting point, not at a loss.

This method also works for other limits like 50% win - withdrawal, 50% loss, and you are still left with the money you came with.

My method revolves around being safe as soon as I hit a profit on my end. Given the risks and nature of gambling, one single game can either make/break my whole profit situation where there is that potential of continuously betting.

I answered that my gambling profit percentage limit is below 50%. I do not mind having a low profit but the fact that won and my initial gambling money is higher when I first entered the casino, I consider that as a win on my book. Maybe it is also because I view gambling as a means of potentially earning money, not as a means of entertainment.

My lesson over time is not to play my bet from my phone app and I believe many football bettors will have this same issue or experience. When you download the bet application on your phone and do your registration and funding of account then you are bound to keep playing when you lose, you rebet because you want to recover. So this has not worked for me as I find it difficult to control over betting in a day until I had to delete the app before I can be able to control that. Now playing manually from the game house is a little controllable than online and I set some limit to play .

This is how gambling should be, I always tell people that the moment they are chasing money from gambling, it could be the moment losses may begin, gambling is not a money making means, that is why some people will think to double their money but they found themselves losing, that is why some people become addicted so much to gambling. I too do not have a specific wining profit percentage, there are sometimes that odds may not favour, there are sometimes I see over 2x, but if lesser than that, I still go for it.

I also do the same but with a different approach since I do not stop. Since my intention to play is to try different slots, whenever I hit a good multiplier or have my fund doubled, I set aside the extra from my 100% bankroll and continue to play.  When my initial bankroll has been depleted, I withdraw the amount I set aside and use it as a fund for another day.


I don't have any percentage goal but I withdraw any extra amount after I lost 100% of my initial bankroll.  For example, I deposited $50, When I hit a big multiplier, I reset my bankroll to $50 and any extra from it will be kept for withdrawal.  I do it until my last reset initial bankroll was depleted and withdraw the money that I set aside or kept.

"Profit percent limit", like is that even a thing?
Your probably too into gambling and that's kind of different for me. For me gambling is this other thing I do once in a while and never per day but, when  moved probably by the game, by some win stories circulating at the time or maybe am just bored and wants to test out some luck or predictability. I definitely don't gamble often so, I don't set any limits, just play with what I feel like at the moment and you can tell its surely not something that I have any problem loosing. Either I win or lose, it comes down as part of the fun for me.

in the last few weeks maybe I was lucky enough because I made 4x deposits and 3x I got big wins with a percentage of 300x of the initial capital. Well I don't set a winning target when I play slots but I only target maybe $2k or $1k I have to stop playing that day. Indeed, calculating the percentage when gambling is a must where this can trigger good control to make the decision to stop playing at that time. Some options can also be profitable for a gambler if he can resist the urge to chase the big multiplier by calculating the percentage earned that day with the initial return on investment.

I have no percentage limit as I play to hit that maximum pay line and I usually only play slot machines.I am however careful as I have a weekly bankroll which if I lose that for me it is over for that week and I move on.This helps me to not become addicted and gives me enough days off before coming back to gambling again that I feel like I have left behind that feeling of sadness when you lose money.I will not stop most of the times when I am winning searching for that big payout,I know the risk of losing it all but it is worthwhile for me because I am risking it for that big win.

First of all I don't have any limits. But, at some point I need to stop and finish the day at something. And when I know it is a profitable day, I stop. That's it! That's my strategy.
Of course, not all days are profitable, but I set a limit for myself that I'm prepared to play, and after that it's fine to stop, no matter if I am winning or losing. When I have a loss, I let it go without giving a damn about it. So, my take is, you need to have a limit you're prepared to play.

I think it doesn't hurt to set a limit to anything we do in gambling.  It is the same as moderating our gameplay in order to save us from further losses.  I also do this kind of stuff.  I play until I hit 300% of my initial deposit then stop and withdraw or lose all my bankroll if I can't hit my target winning amount.

Most of the time it would really be on random base which i dont really set out target or percentage of profits before i do stop which it would really be that subjective whether the profits had been made
is already sufficient for me to stop or on the time that i had already fulfilled that leisure seeking thing inside of me.I dont set 100% of my capital or profits because that would only create out some
desperation inside of me on which i cant really just tolerate that kind of interest or intent inside of me so its better to be everything would be random so that you wont really be looking for yourself
on chasing up on making profits which it is really that understandable that it will really be creating some negative things later on.

Me too, because I only play nowadays when I have time due to I no longer have spare time but then I don't have limits I just play all night and when my initial investment gets 0 in case that I got a lose streak I'll stop it immediately and will not try to recover what I already lost. Because the more we try to get back the money we lost, the more we will get frustrated and lose more.

^ I don't have a limit on taking profit because I gamble only the amount that I can afford to lose if that will all lose I will stop but if I can able to manage to make more profit I will never stop. The thing that I limit myself is chasing profit, when I lose, I will stop gambling there is no need to chase your losses and that is why I did not limit myself, as long as I can be to play to gamble I will stay in gambling but of course, it is impossible for me to stay in gambling more than 6 hours straight, we have prior activities than gambling. It is better not to put a limit on yourself.

I gamble for relaxation and for fun, I don't have any profit limit, I always stop gambling whenever I want to stop, sometimes am always in little profit and I will stop gambling and sometimes I will be at lost and I will stop gambling, am not really after the money am making from gambling because I always gamble with just little amount(the amount I can afford to lose and won't affect me in any way). I do see some people that always their profit limit to be 5x-10x, I know it's very possible but to me it's kind of funny.

Same here I only gamble the money I can afford but I have my target whenever I am playing.  If I hit that profit then I stopped withdrawing both my bankroll and the profit.  It is better to be sure than sorry.  Since leaving the winning on a gambling platform is very tempting  and I am afraid I can't withstand that temptation of betting more than I planned.

I don't think users work with a certain schedule to achieve a profit in percentage. I think we should rather think in USD or EUR. With a $10,000 bankroll, a user could be satisfied with 200% per day. Then the target is $200 a day and not 2%. But there comes a time when a losing bet is placed, then a user completely flips 180 degrees and wants to increase his bets in order to recover his previous losses. I also know people who, for example, only bet on odds of 1.01. A lengthy process, but of course you are a strong favorite every match and there is little chance of losing.

That's really good plan. My key game in which I spend is Dice. Slowly I used to earn little by little, at the end everything goes busted through a martingale strategy or something that cause to loss my winnings. Even when I kept myself very controlled, what I've made out of gambling is nothing. So, even to experience controlled gambling you need luck in my view.

Having this limit can really save you from losing everything you earn that day, and honestly I don’t have much of this because I just continue to gamble whenever I want as long as I still have the money which is intended for gambling purposes and continue to have fun. Maybe I have to set-up this limit now so I can go home happy especially with my profit, we should always have this limit I guess. Limiting yourself once you react your target profit can be a game changer, once you practice this then you might really won against the house, I should really start doing this as well.

I gamble with a limited capital but I don’t limit myself on making profit especially if I’m still having fun playing and since I don’t expect any profit from gambling, I tend to gamble more every time I earn the money. Though I limit myself on the time I spend in gambling since too much playing can really put me on a bigger trouble so every time I gamble, I only have a maximum of 3hrs to enjoy gambling regardless of there’s still a profit or I still have the money, I should stop right away.

I don't use any percentage limit but as long as I've got more than the bankroll that I have, that's where my judgement starts. As long as I keep the original amount in my bankroll and the excess is profit, that's when I stop.

Maybe that goes by around 10% or even less as long as I'm in loss. And about losing, the same as you, when I don't have anything left. I don't redeposit and just stopping there and would give it a day.

And the next day or maybe two or more, that's when I start a new bankroll and the same limit again for myself.

So far I have never determined how much winning limit I have to secure to get out of the casino while gambling. Big wins are something to look forward to, and 50% wins isn't something to stop me. Even though it was 100%, I also rarely stopped and stopped, but I was able to continue even though in the end I had to sacrifice capital because I lost.

There is always a way, but our greed usually makes most of those desires fail.

The few times I have seriously tried to have some profit off my luck I have tried to get at least 50%-100%. I ended up failing and only getting a 25% before giving up. Keeping in mind that was what I would consider to be a good day at slots for me. 

Adding all the session I have had, I assume I have never actually earned a significant quantity.

Limiting yourself is a good idea, though I haven’t tried this yes since I always lose my capital every time I gamble and I still can’t reach a 100% profit but maybe I can also do the same practice.

Having the opportunity to make profit is always a good luck, and protecting that profit can be good as well, I guess it will always depend on your gambling strategy and if you are happy with that profit, you can really stop playing and go home with the profit.

I only do sports betting most of the time. So, I do not have any set amount or percentage of profit in my mind.  I only look at the odds, and see which is most attractive and go for it.

What I do have though is a fixed amount that I can use to gamble or bet on sports. I do not go over that amount. Sometimes, if I got a good parlay and win it is 4x, 5x. But I do not chase that, if there is no good parlay then I am good whatever odds the sportsbook has. A profit is a profit however small it is.

Mood or emotion would be the main factor on this one on which it would really be depending on what you would really be tending to chase for when it comes to profits or winning.
I dont have limits or setting out numbers for this one because i could stop anytime if i do feel that i would need to stop so that my winnings wont really be lost back into the casino.
This is my common mindset whenever i do see myself on greens or in profits.

Play for entertainment and dont stress out yourself on achieving with those goals because just like been said by others that this would really just create out
some desperation if you do really push yourself into limits.

I voted for 50% to 100%, at least 50% of my initial bankroll will be good enough for me to stop gambling for that particular day. But sometimes, and I will have to be honest, when I already hit it and I'm feeling that I'm lucky I will continue and bet again. Of course, my instinct could be wrong or it could be right. But the bottom ls that you will have to set some numbers and that will limit or at least you can control your gambling.

I sometimes limit myself with the profit so I can at least used the money to have fun in other things though I don’t usually do this and I think 50% profit is already enough for me.

Getting profit in gambling is hard and going home with that money is more fun so maybe I should do this from time to time and always have a limit on my gambling activities, I just hope that luck will be with me since that’s is the only problem every time I gamble. This is a good self-discipline and if you succeed on this, you can have more successful gambling activities, and you can also beat the house by always doing this.

As long as I'm going to be profitable in my betting that particular day, I don't have a specific numbers in mind though. So maybe < 50%? And lesson is that we shouldn't be greedy in gambling, because we all know that suddenly the tide can change, even if you are on a winning streak and then suddenly you lost one or two, you might want to comeback and bet for more, this had happen to me several times. So it's better to just take any win, regardless of the percentage and then bet on the next game.

There's always the temptation to pursue or chase your previous losses when you are winning but if you're an experienced player you'll know it won't work so I just limited my profit percentage to 50 to 100%, when I reached 50% that's when I think of quitting and just enjoy my winning and come back some other time, you'll need to be fully in control to stop your craving to continue not really easy but will save you from disappointment.
