Are you that kind of gamblers that after a big win will suddenly quit and withdraw and log off and never plays again? As you already fulfilled your goal and so it makes sense to stop and not rush anything?

Or that gambler that will continue to see where your hot streak ends and continue to play?

For me, I try to maintain on quitting early and like making my money double or higher. I don't like to be that gambler again, that will regret later when my luck suddenly chances and then I can't control myself and in the end resulting into losing my bankroll and my supposedly capital.

How about gamblers here? Which you do prefer?

As a matter of fact I am…

But what I try to do sometimes, or most times is to leave just a little percentage of the winning, say 5% or lesser, and then immediately withdraw the rest to lock in and secure that one, and then I continue to with the other one one left, if the win continues, then Hallelujah, and if not? I take that walk of victory.


I used to be this guy, and the result wasn’t always something I like to experience, most of the times, I end up losing everything I’ve won already, but I know better now to lock in the win first before deciding whether to push the streak further or just walk away.

I think only few got to quit even though they won a lot or big one. There's always a tendency of coming back cause the thrill is quite hard to resist. Maybe if I win let say so big like life changing money, I will stop for a while but I can't promise I won't coming back to play again cause saying stopping would be definitely a lie, cause we know whats the feeling of winning it will never be enough for anyone.

I do that sometimes too, but it never lasts a week. Even when I win big and enjoy the money, that itch to gamble always comes back. So even if I promise myself not to gamble again, I eventually do. It feels like an addiction, but still at a controlled level. I think it’s better to come back when you’re winning rather than when you’re losing, because we all know what usually happens when we chase losses.

Depends how big your winning is, if that is around $500 or more then for me, it's no brainer, I will quit because that is huge amount of money here. But let's say it's just like $10.00-$20.00, I will still go and play.

Maybe it also depends on what kind of games you play, if that is luck base games and then you win big, then that is enough as you said, you don't know what the swing of your luck. But in sports betting, you might go for another bet the next day.

Quitting early after winning double or higher will be the best decision. We can't always repeat winning double money or even lower so rather than lose that win money, it is better to know the situation and quit gambling.

We can enjoy winning money especially if the win is big. We don't have to bother thinking about winning a bigger win because we get the money. I prefer to quit gambling after winning and not tempting more winning. I know the risks will be big for me so before that happens, I will leave the casino.

I should enjoy the money and not think about gambling. I can return to casinos after taking a break. There is no need to rush returning to the casino because we have much time to return.

You know, I have some friends who managed to bet and win a reasonable amount on their first bets and simply withdrew all the money and didn't bet anymore, or stopped betting for a long time  :D

However, I do things differently
If I have a good win, I usually withdraw part of it and continue betting with the rest. I have never withdrawn my entire balance and stopped betting

But it is quite common behavior to win a good bet, think that it was all the luck you have, and believe that you cannot win anymore  :D

The dreaded dilemma on gamblers.

We ask ourselves if we should go and continue or not. For me, I don't have definite answer, sometimes I will stop and withdraw. And then once I withdraw, for unknown reasons I will try to go back and see what will be the winner or next and maybe feel some regret when I see that I should have won again, (this is only relatable to games like roulette or baccarat or black jack).

But from what I learned on some old timers, it's better to quit while you are winning.

We have gamblers in their different categories, some will make a win and always finds their way to gambling the more, while some will hit the winning opportunity and take that as an advantage not to return, because they have the mentality that they may end up losing the money back into gambling at the cause of time, but on a common note, majority will often go back to gambling, but not with the mentality of losing back into it, but they can't just afford to missed out on having fun playing their using ways.

It is difficult to walk away from a winning streak but when you continue you will regret it right after so I try my best to remind myself of the possible risks of continuing to gamble even after I have won. When I win, I try my best to walk away and enjoy the winning prize. Especially if it is quite a decent amount.

But if it isn't too big and I feel that I can still use it to continue my game, then I do it. But if the amount is already too big, I know I need to stop.

How big is big win?

I'm a small bettor, if the big win didn't reach at least $100K, I won't quit and never plays again.

I know $5K-$10K is already a big for small bettor, but we're talking about someone quit gambling forever, so I might do it if I won that amount, which usually only happen in lottery for small bettor.

So far I have never won that amount in my life, hence I'm still a gambler.

I always quit immediately because that’s the purpose of why I’m gambling. Continuously playing while you already hut a huge win is already useless and achieving nothing already.

Worst is you lose back again your profit with just a silly mistake such as chase loss after a small loses that you can’t let go.

I withdraw and immediately convert my crypto to fiat to assure that I will not use it again to play. Then Netflix and chill all day with lots of food from my profit.  ;D

Let’s be honest. No matter how big we win, we always come back to play more. It is because we like the taste of this product. We cannot stop chewing on it. When we gamble our brains are on fire, the dopamine rush hits us better than anything. I am by all means no different than the rest of us. I might have a little bit more self control than the average gambler but that’s it. It is like smoking. Once you start smoking cigarettes, you cannot stop anymore. You may take breaks and those breaks could be as long as a decade but sooner or later you’ll light one up one more time. However, if I were to stop gambling one day, it would definitely happen after I won a big amount. I’d rather take this instead of quitting with a loss.

Gamblers who quit after a big win probably did gambled for a purpose and that is why when once that is achieved they see no need to continue, they were not even having fun by the way and so quitting becomes something they don't wait to give a second taught before they proceed to quitting because they do not have a reason to stay back a while if at al they were to reconsider staying back gambling. Me i enjoying gambling sometimes that is why even after some good wins, i still did not quit but had continued to gambles still all this years.

One thing i always make sure to put in place is to make sure that i am not allowing myself to be controlled by emotions, so that i don't make moves that will affect my bankroll and pocket in the long run, since I'm not thinking of quitting just like that, as gambling has and is not affecting me any negatively, i have been able to build that discipline to subject it to some very good level of control.

I have always been the type that is going to play a little longer to see if i'm running hot. If I am playing blackjack and won 5 hands in a row, would I be smart to quit or would I play til I lose a hand? Always ride the streak man, never know where it will lead. I have went on a 13 win streak in blackjack, I will always play til I lose a hand.

Well, I'm being lead by the amount that I allocate for every time I start gambling, for example if I allocate $10 for today's gambling and when playing I spent just $5 and won $50, I am still left with $5 of my allocation, I will spend it by trying more luck, after it's exhausted before I can stop and sometime I could even spend some of the money I won but I always make sure I stop right on time to prevent further losses.

This is better, it would help you to enjoy your winning and prevent the ugly situation of losing your funds back to the casino. I'll like to quit, enjoy my winnings and return another day to gamble again. This helps with being able to control your activities on the casino as well.

This isn't always the best option, beyond losing back your winning to the casino, it tends to reduce the control you exert over your gambling activities and in the case the tables turn against you and you'll continue chasing loses until you're financially messed up.

I’m kinda like that too. when I’m winning I easily feel content, sometimes I even feel a bit guilty like I’m beating the casino too much, so I just stop and call it a day. But it’s a different story when I’m losing. I can’t stop that easily even if I’ve already lost the amount I set aside for gambling. sometimes I go crazy, depositing again and chasing losses. I’ve done it many times and it almost always ends with big regret.

This is how gambling is supposed to be, once you win it is best to just quit gambling at the moment.  Ensure you enjoy your win very well before thinking of coming back to gamble. If you have no time of when to take break in gambling in gambling,  you may not even have the chance to spend your win and you will put in so much money in gambling and trying to recover all money that have been lose in gambling. One of the most important things in gambling that gamblers needs to follow is the limit which can be afford and know when to stop when you win or you lose in gambling.

As much as support any gamblers that win big to enjoy his winning to the fullest, quitting gambling because big winning is what I don't understand, unless such gambler notice that if he continues he might get addicted in the process or may be is his decision to quit for some reasons, as a gambler if I win big since I know that I am a responsible gambler, I will enjoy my money very well and still play gambling the usual way I do, am talking about myself, individuals have their decisions to make in respect to things like this but for me veme though I will want to rest for sometime, I will still gamble, I won't quit because I had a big win.

This is my gambling mentality. I learned it from a painful personal experience. We already know what I am talking about. You know when others share their own stories and strategies, it may not make any sense to you until you are in their shoes. If I don't quit, withdraw the winnings, log off and take some days off, I will lose the money definitely and end up with nothing. There is always another time and it makes me return back refreshed and ready to gamble again.

This is for sure the right thing to do after a huge win, and I myself will have done this as well. But what you meant about not playing again is totally quitting a never ever in your life going to gamble again, I think that's kind of a huge lie. I mean there will always be some moments where you will think of trying your luck again and go gamble some times. I think we all could agree to this. So, best thing to do when situations like that occur is to minimize the spending this time.

How I wish I had the will to do this. I consider this a virtue. A gambler will always be a gambler and never quit on big wins; only after they exhaust everything and become wasted, but never after a big win.

So many of us are like this; we believe in the saying that we should strike when it's hot, or take the opportunity when it is presented to us. This is why many of us lose our winnings, then try to chase our losses —a vicious cycle we always forget until it happens again.

When I achieve a win, I will stop and make a withdrawal. Although sometimes I leave a little in the account to continue playing, it is just to satisfy my sense of enjoyment in the game. The most important thing for me is that the winnings have been withdrawn and I can enjoy them.
I am not confident about a streak of luck in one gaming session. We can be lucky at the start, but if we continue, all that happens is losing. At least, that is what I have experienced.

I used to be the kind of gambler who kept playing after a win just to see how far the luck could go but over time i realized that kind of thinking never ends well because luck fades faster than we expect and once you lose the winnings the excitement quickly turns into regret so now i always cash out when i hit my target and take a break the best feeling is walking away with profit still in your account instead of giving it all back to the house.

Quitting while ahead takes discipline because that little voice in your head will always tell you to try one more round but that’s how most gamblers lose control setting a clear goal before you start playing like doubling your bankroll or hitting a specific profit helps you stick to your plan once you reach that point you stop no matter what. I’d say the smartest gamblers are those who know when to leave the table even if it feels like they could still win more luck is temporary but self control lasts long term and that’s what separates those who enjoy gambling responsibly from those who spiral into losses.

Actually most gamblers hurt themselves, not because of their own luck, but because they dont know when to stop. You are absolutely right about that, dude..

The idea that some people have, "I'm hot today," is as powerful as the devil who has spent everything he has. The smartest move is to take the money you have won &  let your dopamine cool off when you reach your goal. I have seen many people who have turned big wins into nothing, just because of their arrogant belief that no one can come close to them.

I think following the rules is much more important than luck. Remember, the win shown on the screen is not achieved until it leaves the screen &  enters your pocket

If I have had a winning streak, it is reasonable for me to take a break for sometime at least till the next gambling day so that you can be refreshed to think properly for the day because if you keep playing, the chances are high that you will become over confident to the game and might begin to lose attention. Like they will say pride will come before you fall, this is what a confident gambler may encounter if they continue to play in the face of winning. Winning and losing can affect a gambler in same way that will confuse you from thinking properly. I will step aside if I happen to have a level of winning so that I will be able to come back in with refreshed mind. Many gamblers have lost this way in regret.

Yeah, but I must say that this method was adopted just recently over a year now, at first I was going with this method of waiting to see the end of my wining streak but I must say that the end wasn't that funny reason been that I end up losing back the money.

 I have done this experiment for like 3-4 times but, it all went badly then I decided to implement this method of withdrawing some portion of my win and then Lock it up or use it immediately to buy some stuffs like clothes or shoes.

During my younger days, I used to be the latter- I would exhaust all of my luck for that day after winning huge amounts of money just to see if I could repeat the same luck twice. More often than not, all of my winnings would be quickly converted to a loss in the process.

After maturing and understanding my purpose in gambling, I am now the person that you described on your first sentence. For every win that I experience, no matter how big or small, I would quickly cash out my money and call it a day.


Personally, you should always strive to be the person that cashes out their winnings quickly. If you want to gamble just for the sake of entertainment, then gamble in small amounts so that you would still be able to enjoy your huge winnings for that day.

Here, the behavior after winning in gambling will depend on his target. If someone has a target that he will go there only for fun and will come back from there after having fun for a while, then if he wins a big win, he can withdraw the money and stop gambling or it may be that since he went there only for fun, he will use that money to continue gambling. Again, if someone has the intention to double his money, then of course he will withdraw his winnings after making a will and come back from there. And if someone is an addicted and greedy gambler, then after making a big will, he will think that his luck is very good that day and he will continue gambling for something bigger without withdrawing the money.

It all depends on the type of gambler someone is and what their mindset looks like at that moment some people have a clear target before they even start playing maybe they just want to double their stake or hit a particular win once that happens they log off withdraw and go do something else for them it’s about discipline and knowing when enough is enough while others don’t really have that limit they see a big win as proof that they’re on a hot streak and instead of stopping they want to see how far the luck goes which usually ends with them losing everything they just made.

Personally i think it’s smarter to have a set plan before you start maybe something like once i’ve made a certain percentage profit i cash out no matter what happens after that because emotions can trick you into thinking the luck will keep flowing and that’s when mistakes happen if you’re playing just for fun maybe it’s fine to keep going for a while but if you’re trying to protect your bankroll or profit then quitting early after a good win is the best move. Greed and excitement are the biggest enemies in gambling and if you can control those two then you’ll always leave the table with something in your pocket instead of regrets later.

If I'm one of those people, I could simply go months without placing another bet, and that's the healthy way to deal with it. Many people challenge luck and continue playing hoping to make more money, but that tactic is dangerous because you could end up losing everything you won and even more than you expected. It often happens, so it's better to understand how chance works. A stroke of luck is rare and doesn't happen often, so if you get that stroke of luck, I recommend you stop betting. It doesn't necessarily have to be for months, but give yourself time to enjoy your victory, and then you can come back in peace.

Sincerely, I only bet when I feel I can win and when that doesn't happen, I try again but not more than three trials even though I might be lucky to win big or cashout early.
Only small amounts at a time does the magic for me because using big amounts to bet on a lot of games is very risky and if I happen to have more than a ticket I have placed bet on, I don't add any other even if my friends or colleagues bring me a sure code to try out.

The fun I have when betting comes from me making my analysis and picking the odds myself. Copying codes from others often get me confused and takes away the fun from it and that's why I use my brain power to select my choice and watch it till it cuts or comes out with cash out option of which I could either leave or withdraw depending on how big the option is.

If you cannot take a break from gambling, then no matter how much you win, your behavior will be gambling-oriented. And no matter how much you lose, you should always be responsible for your financial condition when gambling. Otherwise, you will not be able to control yourself and if you indulge in gambling, then your confidence in gambling will increase, due to which there will be a risk of becoming addicted to gambling more deeply. Not everyone's behavior is the same after winning in gambling, different people have different behaviors. However, most gamblers behave in such a way that they are very expert in gambling, so they try to convince others that they have won like this regularly.

It's actually hard to say, and the decision also depends a lot on how big the winning amount is. If I win and stop gambling, it might be temporary, because one thing will always be on my mind, that I have found a shortcut in gambling and now I will win an even bigger amount if I start gambling again. A gambler is mentally attracted to gambling, which makes him return to gambling even if he doesn't want to. So I think the most effective way to quit gambling after winning big is to develop self-control.

How many gamblers in all honesty are able to do what you are saying? in this case, it is right to say that it is easier said than done because the post-win reaction is moment dependent. a certain person can win and try to control his urge to gambling again and same person at other time will go right back into gambling after he has won and end up loosing everything in the process. in all, post win behavior is generally influenced by the mood of the individual at such time. an over excited person can win and make some silly gamble decision that gets him back to square one.

There could be series of behaviors that gamblers may be found doing the moment they have won a bet, some can be catching cruise with all manners of entertainment offers including women, alcohol and gambling more because they feels on top and have the money necessary enough for them to do and undo anything as they wanted, which is a form of lavish spending to me, instead of them to invest and make some savings and go softly.

The emotions of the average person here are almost the same I think, I also do the same thing as what you said, when I get a win thinking that I am in hockey and continue to want more, there is always a greedy mind even though you have learned very much from the same mistakes repeated.
But I think you have matured and dared to stop and reduce the curiosity to bet more, it is a good choice to continue until you have strong principles and are not easily tempted again.

Enjoy every win you get, it's not easy to get it because of the amount of gambling you go through only the most losses.

I have tried both options and I learnt several lessons from the process. I have tried stopping to gamble whenever I have a big win but sometimes when I stop that way, I will see all the other games I had in mind playing as predicted but in other times, they failed but from the little data I gathered in the process, stopping whenever there is a big win is the best option because it made me protect what I have won and not lose them. Continuing to gamble even after a big win is a soft display of greed and if not checked will lead to regrets.

Post-win behavior can define how long your bankroll lasts. Many players chase another high right after winning that’s where discipline breaks. I usually lock in part of the profit and stop for a while, even if I feel “on a roll.”

Do you set a specific cash-out target after a win, or play until variance evens out?

Just like you, I'll quit when I've achieved the win I was hoping for. I won't force myself to bet more money because I simply don't want to regret losing it all. I tend to be satisfied with the winnings I get, regardless of whether they're big or not; it doesn't matter to me. The important thing is that I don't lose any money that day and can enjoy the win for myself.

Every gambler loves winning. If you feel very lucky that day with a few wins in hand, wouldn't you feel that there will be even bigger wins ahead because it is your lucky day? That is normal in gambling. But the role of control is very important in this matter. Those who are experienced will stop betting and go enjoy their winnings. I also want to be like that, but sometimes the desire to continue playing for a little while or to make one last bet cannot be resisted.

I'm one of those gamblers who can only dream of big wins. :) I couldn't even get out in time after a small win. This is the level of my luck.

I'm more of a gambler who kept watching his deposit "melt away" in anticipation of the moment when "the next spin will definitely bring a win" and things will start to improve. :)

Sure, you have the right strategy and I'd prefer to stick to it, but that's only if you look at it from a rational perspective. :) In life, it can sometimes be difficult to resist emotions (attempts to take risks), which leads to losses.

It is good to take time after a big win or loss, this maintains self-control over yourself, self-control is very important to manage gambling in a disciplined manner. Many people start betting with more risks after a big win, which can increase the risk of losing money many times over, so to control your emotions, you need to take time in both cases, whether you win or lose. When gambling, our greed works more by winning, so we have to set boundaries by thinking about the future. Nothing can be said for sure through gambling, all the money can be lost at any time, so it is better to separate the profit and make a reliable investment plan.

I didn't have direction on what to do after a win or couple of wins, I just go with whatever I felt like, sometimes I stop other times I challenge my luck to see if it continues. Until I had to define how I want to be gambling and when I'm supposed to exit, after I got it right it doesn't matter whether I'm winning or losing I exit when it's time for me to. The time for me to exit is when I exhaust my gambling fund for the day, it sounds easy but I had to learn to be discipline so that I don't over gamble. Post win or post lose is all the same for me, I don't chase loses or overconfidence to continue after a win, I stop when I finish my budget for the day.

I used to be the latter, but after losing my winnings over and over, I learned my lesson: stop, enjoy my winnings, and it's better to moderate your greed than lose all that you’ve hoped to win and worked for.

Gamblers who cannot moderate their greed want to strike over and over again, because they believe that this is their opportunity to regain their losses, but it’s only an illusion, because in reality, you cannot regain all your losses or beat the house; you need to know when to stop and how to stop.

I typically withdraw 75% of my winnings, and continue playing with the rest. Even if I lose, I don't make any more deposits and opt out. Before implementing this, I often regretted, mostly after winning 5x from my deposit, I continuing to play and losing all, because I mostly played slots and rarely bet on sports. But I still often lose control, haha. Sometimes I plan to only play 50% of my limit, when lose, I end up using 100% of it. :p

I'm the type of gambler that likes to test my luck even more, but I'm also that type that doesn't joke with what I have already won. In that case, what I do is, once I experience a big win, I first make the move to withdraw the larger percentage of the money and leave just a few in there, which I can use to try my luck again. If I don't win, I have something to run back to and rejoice with. If I also win, it's a double winning for me.

Probably temporary quit, I won't quit forever except I have a specific reason.

I don't think someone will quit if they win a big amount from gambling because it will make them to think if they will earn that amount again in the future. Quitting gambling after big win is like, you currently work with a job that pays $50 per week then you think if you have a job with pays $500 per week you will not think about money anymore and it should be enough to cover all expense. But I'm sure if you've reach $500 per week, your dream will change and it also change your decision.

Depending on the game I am playing. I do not sped much time betting on games, just place a few bet and it s all over. Whats left is to check the outcome at the end of the day. While in casino games, the narrative can change especially if we let the game gets the best of us. However, I am not into casino games that much so I barely spend much time in playing slot games except if I'm giving a free spin.

Currently, I am the type of gambler who immediately withdraws money after a big win, even if I feel like I have made a significant profit. I feel that winning big in gambling requires more effort, meaning it is quite difficult to be obtained. Therefore, when we win, especially a large amount, it is should be better to stop immediately, or take a temporary break. We need to realize that winning in gambling is something many people desire, we should not waste gambling winnings, especially large amounts. So in essence, we should capitalize on the moment of winning, rather than continuing to gamble greedily. Greed should be avoided in gambling, as it often leads to losses, or addiction.

It all depends on the size of the win. If the win drastically changes our life and we want to quit completely, there's a chance of success. We can use that win to help us in whatever we do to quit completely, because with money, anything is possible. We might think that if we gamble again, the big win will slowly disappear.

And if the win is small and doesn't drastically change us, I think the process will be difficult and take quite a long time. We might enjoy the win for a while, but after that, there will inevitably be a desire to gamble again, hoping to repeat the previous win.

I'm the type of gamblers that wins and logs off for a while, this is because I have learned from my previous experiences. When you keep on gambling after winning the end result might be very terrible, gambling wasn't designed for anyone to make consistent profit and if you think that you can achieve this then you are deeply mistaking. Every win is just a result of luck, don't push to get more profits

Depending on the situation, if I'm not satisfied, I can even spend my winnings or I can also withdraw even if I win small. So I'm a flexible person, but of course I know the risks and can take them. However most of the time I cash out immediately because gambling is inherently uncertain, so I have to make the most of a lucky day.

A common behavior experienced by many people when they win at gambling is greed, which drives them to continue gambling in search of more winnings. However, on the other hand, this can also lead to a loss of control, such as uncontrolled emotions when gambling after winning, which can lead to losses and the loss of previously achieved winnings. If you do decide to continue gambling, you should prepare yourself as best as possible to accept the loss.

The key to avoiding this is that when you win, the best option is to stop by withdrawing your winnings and walking away to enjoy your winnings. However, I admit that withdrawing can be difficult, and this is a problem I think almost everyone who gambles has experienced. Don't engage in inappropriate behavior if you're not prepared for the risks.

I prefer to keep the winning streak until it was ended but after a big win I usually lower my bet to the minimum to limit the lose and preserve my previous big win.

There was a time that I experienced back to back big win so it’s still worthy a shot for me to make a few bets until my streak ends because I’m already on the winning zone while placing a couple of small bet will not gonna hurt.

I’ll just make sure to quit immediately after I finally ended my winning streak.

I am kind of in the middle if I win a big multiplier, then surely I want to try more of my luck whether it's a win or a loss for the next few bets then finally my mind realizes that I am not going to be that lucky so I need to stop betting and withdraw my balance before I bust them completely.

I guess when you’re already satisfied there’s no reason to keep gambling for the rest of the day. Some people can’t enjoy their winnings because they get too greedy. They don’t set a goal and they’re never content. They forget they won because of luck, and luck doesn’t stay forever. In the end they lose everything chasing more.

We don’t want to be like that. When luck is on our side, we should just enjoy the win and call it a day.

I'm that kind of gambler that will really extend and test my luck, but just with one roll. It let's say I'm playing Black Jack and on a winning streak, then as long as I'm into that zone and continue to win then I won't stop. And will only quit once a experience maybe one or two losing streak.

Then I quit and stop and never deposit. Or I might go back again and play with the same bankroll that I have before and see again if I can have the same success or not.

Here is what i do after a 'big' win. I withdraw a large chunk of my winning, i never fail to do that, but i leave a little portion of my winnings in the casino, with which i would start off with when i return. As for when i would return to gambling after a big win, it simply depends on my mood, i can start playing again after my withdrawal or take a break, but one thing i must do is take out a great part of my winnings.

I do that because if i leave all of my winnings in the casino, seeing that huge bankroll could tempt me to increase my stakes and aim for bigger winnings. That usually doesn't end well, so i make sure to avoid it.

As I only have limited time to gamble, I make sure that I only have allocated budget per session. So if I already hit my limit, whether I am losing or winning, I stop my game and call it a day. With that manner, I can say, I have the upper hand of my gambling activities. And if I win, I know that I need to take advantage of it because with my previous experiences, I know that it is not always that I am on the positive side.

I prefer to enjoy my winnings rather than risk losing them and end up with a miserable life. I experience the hardship of winning, then trying to extend my luck by playing more when I should have stopped and enjoyed my winnings.
I lost all my winnings and had a miserable whole month. From then on, I preferred to enjoy my winnings, no matter the amount. I highly recommend it's not good to be too greedy, you only extend your playing if you're ready to lose your winnings.

Whenever I win big i take a break because that's the smartest move you can make at that time...if you keep on gambling there's a high chance that you might end up blowing your account your profit and stake might just go to waste..one way to utilize your wins effectively is to withdraw immediately after winning and stay away from gambling for a certain period of time so you don't get tempted to keep on chasing wins

Your strategy of quitting early when you win big is great and smart method of gambling since it is main rule to keep your money and stay profitable in long run. Two kinds of gamblers show difference between controlled person who takes win as finished deal and person who looks for excitement. By quitting, you take away temptation to keep playing and lose your profits, since you know that longer you play, more casino has advantage on you, that is, your decision to stop playing and save your winnings is difference between successful money manager and one who will finally lose all his or her money.

There are times that I would quit and stay low for sometime when I manage to gain a big win in gambling, but there are also times that I would try a few more games that would lead to losing everything that I gain.
But if I would chose I would rather quit and secure it, than to continue in risking it just to prove that I am lucky.
There are times that I could control my greed specially when the amount is too much for me, when it is something that could make my life easier for a couple of weeks or even months.
And we could only consider it as a win if we have it or stopped playing, it doesn't matter how much it is if in the end we would only lose it.

Gambling can be enjoyed only if you have unlimited time to gamble. Sometimes, if you start gambling when you have little time, then you cannot enjoy the pleasure. We must take care of some aspects while playing so that we do not waste time gambling excessively. Sometimes, if we lose too much, we cannot go crazy to recover those money.

On an actual sense it could be a lie but nobody chooses or concludes for another gamer's behavior or motive towards a huge win. They should be some players who have concluded that whenever they hit it big would be their last time of gambling. Although a lot of players won't keep to this self promise, yet those who would are there, in a small number. In a short definition, these kind of gamers are the real winners against the house edge.

Yes.


I mean, I wouldn't say I gamble to win, but winning big is certainly something I would like so yes, I would gladly accept the win and stop.


There is part of me that would like to continue, but I'd like to go with rational part of me and stop playing.

I was once in a position where I was chasing winnings and yes it might be said to be a phase where I was addicted to gambling so when I got the winnings I didn't immediately withdraw them but chased bigger wins with the result that often happened of course was losing back everything I had got, but because of an incident that made me realize so now-now with even small wins I am easy to withdraw them, so I don't waste the opportunity.
Honestly, I myself feel better to be able to control myself well such as not prolonging the gambling session by depositing more and more money to chase the victory and easily withdraw the profits that have been obtained, this is better than before.

it is very nerve wracking because you would want to maximize your winnings so you try again you tell yourself one last time just to make the profit grow but of course there is always the chance that you end up walking away with nothing so once you have hit your goals learn to walk away and turn your back it is better to leave with the amount you already have than nothing at all

Stopping gambling will be good if you have already won. You need to calm down your emotions and avoid thinking about continuing to gamble and chasing more wins. It will make sense to stop and not rush anything especially your win. You rarely win the games so when you get the opportunity to win and that is much money, you should stop gambling immediately and close your browser and then leave it. Stopping early will be good to prevent the will to keep gambling.

If I’m lucky and win what I consider a decent amount, I usually withdraw it and spend it on little pleasures I can afford with that money, it could be various purchases, a night out, or a short trip somewhere for fun. For me, gambling is entertainment, and I believe the money won should be spent on the same kind of enjoyable things.

It’s only right to enjoy when we win, but that kind of mindset mostly comes from casual gamblers. Those who do it regularly think differently, they just cash out and enjoy some profit once they see they’re up for the month. No need for the hype, just steady play and discipline.

Honestly, I can’t even remember the last time I won big and really celebrated it. These days I’m more focused on consistency like mostly single bets, one game at a time. Even if I win today, there’s no guarantee I’ll win tomorrow. It’s just a “win some, lose some” kind of thing, but as long as I’m having fun, I’m good with that.

If I’m lucky enough to win something decent from just playing a few rounds I’d quit and call it a day. But if my aim is to gamble for fun, I have a strategy for it, first I’d instantly withdraw my initial deposit from my account and then use whatever is left to keep playing, if I’m still lucky and win more I’d make another withdrawal again this time I’ll make sure the amount left in the account is very small so I won’t stay long or be tempted to redeposits those money back into my account.

So my initial intention determines if I’d call it a quit or if I’d stick with the gambling for a long time, I wasn’t too interested I’d quit but if I really missed gambling I’d stay but still play it safe.

I don’t gamble with so much money, and am not the type that gamble with little amount and I will be expecting to win huge amount of money, I always gamble with little amount of money, I will pick little odds and will little amount of money. Actually even if I win huge amount of money, that’s not going to stop me from gambling, I will just make sure i withdraw the amount which I need to take care of the things which I need, then I will continue gambling with the rest. Winning cant make me stop gambling, because that’s not my primary aim.

How's that even possible?? I mean most people are early to the game... So they get their cash and move out, but some are always unfortunate that don't even get to buy a snack from it, talk more of doing something reasonable; they're always in search of a bigger plater, which usually takes everything from them

Likes to win big and then stop and pull out all the money won to enjoy.
But mostly what I do is leave a little balance in the account to try my luck again, maybe the balance set aside is 20% of the total win.

Even if I lose it doesn't matter because I already have 80% cash from the winnings so it's still safe.

But sometimes there are still people playing and continuing even though they have won, a sense of dissatisfaction is always there but when you lose it all, regret comes at the end - that's what you don't want.

It may appear logical to use money when playing a game, and it is a thin border between spending money to have fun and becoming an addict. When you still gamble and you are not thinking about winning then it could be that you are employing gambling to fulfil an emotional desire. In it, victory and defeat are not as important as the very process of gambling may be effective. In case you can break the habit without feeling anxious at all, that is why the risk is low, and it is necessary to pay attention when you feel that pleasure was transformed into something uncontrollable.

I'm not investing or treating gambling as a source of income so I don't have a particular jackpot price in mind that'd make me quit gambling.
You don't even know the influence behind hitting on the jackpot attracts addiction if you're not a responsible gambler. You'll surely have the urge to win more . So I don't think I who's playing for the entertainment would even afford to quit gambling for a jackpot when my account are in good conditions.
I'll gamble even more while I keep maintaining my responsible lanes.

Existing after a big win is a nice move which everyone should consider because at that moment you win; if you don't control yourself, it can lead to raising your betting amount based on your confidence level increasing, which might lead to a fast burning of your balance, and if the balance reduces below what you have raised it to, you will be triggered to start chasing your losses.

You get the point? I don't even have any form of expectations in my mind whenever I gamble, so if the games don't come out as planned, I'll just, not worry about anything else ... I learn from every bit of the experience I have, even when I get win sometimes.
Hitting the jackpot only stirs you up and strengthens your gut to take even bigger risk than what just paid you... It makes you feel drunk in certainty that you can always win over and over again, so that alone can keep you around till the jackpot is scraped off your wallet again.

Sometimes it is very difficult to understand when you face a big loss while gambling. Because I have seen several times when I started gambling, I did not even realize when a few hours had passed. I realized at that time when I saw that I had completely lost the money I had taken to gamble. However, different people approach gambling in different ways. Many people gamble to enjoy themselves. On the other hand, many people gamble to earn money, so I think there are many differences between them.

For me, I gamble mostly for fun, I don't treat gambling as an activity that I have or must make money from at all cost, though sometimes, if in the process of gambling; and I won and made a good profit, I try to secure that, I don't (because I am or was playing for fun) decide to deliberately continue gambling and losing until the entire money I won is lost again, no, this is stupidity.

But when I win, depending on the amount that I won, I could decide to quit playing at that moment, withdraw the money I made as profit, and use the money for something significant so that i could have something to always point to and say, "this is what I did with money I made from gambling".
So, this is the type of gambler That I am, in as much as I gamble mostly for fun, I am not a reckless gambler, I try as much as possible to apply wisdom, make the most out of my money whether it be for spending little by little playing for a longer period of time, or preserving what ever profit I made from playing a game.

It is true that reactions like this can be experienced by all players, not only by getting the jackpot, but sometimes even small wins can make our courage bigger and increase our self-confidence, which has a big chance of making gambling continue. This is a common reaction in my opinion.

But not all players experience the same thing with the winnings they have obtained, there are those who really lose control of themselves to the point where they lose all the profits they have gained, and there are those who manage to withdraw their profits when they think the game will no longer give them a win, I myself have experienced both. How about you?.

For me it really depends on the mood & how the game is going but most of the time once I hit a good win especially if it’s already double my starting amount I prefer to cash out & call it a day. I learned the hard way before that chasing more wins after a lucky streak usually ends up the opposite way so now I’d rather enjoy the win, treat myself a bit & come back another time w/ a fresh mindset. Discipline is really the key when it comes to gambling.

Once winning has been experienced, gamblers can choose to behave as it pleases them depending on how this comes up in their minds, but everything is expected to be done moderately in other to avoid being careless of any moves made after having a huge winning and later we have nothing to show about it, mostly, the spending aspect has to be done with perfect control and we have to plan ourselves over the next step of interest to take.

Do you withdraw the entire amount at once or leave a small amount in your account? I, for example, prefer to keep a small portion in a deposit so I don't have to deposit my own funds next time. I always buy something with my winnings to experience that taste of victory. Of course, such moments can be counted on one hand, but they have happened.

I once managed to win enough money to buy a good used car. It was a pleasant moment. I never thought something like that could happen to me.

Well, I’ve set a limit for both wins and losses each day. Whichever comes first, I’ll stop and come back tomorrow. As for taking a break, I usually do that whenever I have consecutive losses for days. But when it comes to winning, nah, I play every day. Although it’s necessary to take a break so you won’t get carried away, I don’t. It’s not that I don’t want to, it’s just really hard to stop myself. I feel very confident, even though I know my winning streak will only last a few days.

I chose to stop gambling and leave the casino. That is the best decision for me because I can eliminate the will to chase more wins. I can not have more wins especially if I already won before. So stopping gambling will be my choice and leave it while I can enjoy my win.

I realize that if I continue gambling, I can lose more money including the win money I won. That will make me regret and I can not forget it easily. We must realize that winning a big amount is a blessing so we need to be grateful and use the win money we win for ourselves.

But if they still want to chase more wins, they must accept the risks of losing money. There is no guarantee they can win more but they will have a chance to lose.

It's always best to have a plan of what should be the daily program. Like with tennis open, you had at least 10 hours of matches to bet daily!
It's really crazy if you think, and if you don't plan your activity you can play without no ends. Even make many betting attempts due to nice odds and many events available.
A kind of program to be followed should be always in place. You need at least few hours of pauses daily, that include a full break for food and so on.
No, long betting sessions are the worst....

When the day comes that I win, I will not withdraw my funds, but I'll quit and call it a day. I'll use that funds again for the next day. I'm not the type of gambler where I will withdraw my funds on a gambling website (unless I really need the money for some reasons). I'll gamble the next day if I win, and if I lose, I will lose all of it on the same day. :D

Unfortunately, there are many gamblers out there where they don't know when to stop if they're winning. They are very greedy, that even though they double or tripled their initial capital already, they still want more hence, gamble more. They'll gamble more until the time comes where luck isn't on their side anymore therefore, they will lose all of their profits plus their initial capital. If they lose, they'll find a way to have money to recover their losses, and the cycle keeps going on, and on, and on. This is why gamblers are getting addicted to gambling.

I fall into the first category you mentioned. Usually, when I win, especially if the winnings double my initial investment, I immediately stop and withdraw my winnings.

It would be a mistake to think that I don't feel greedy at all when I'm in a situation like that. Much like anyone else, my mind keeps pushing me to keep trying to win more, but my conscience tells me otherwise, as I've often regretted my greed before.

But I don't quit completely; I just take a break, at least a week after my win, and then I return to playing.

I actually am, you see once I have made good gain from any bets I place I tell myself that that's enough profit for today and push all of my other gambling plans to the next day, it only on very rare occasions that I keep gambling until until my winning streak end and in those scenarios I don't let myself lose to much, the moment I realize that my winning luck is gone I stop there and leave with whatever winning I have left with me, this is because I've come to understand that the moment you start gambling like you want to prove something to yourself you start losing.

The last time I won big in gambling it took me three weeks to come back , the amount I won was so big if I measure with how much I risked, the money I risked was very little and I won big amount, many would say its not big enough but it is to me.

Many people find it hard to take some time off after winning some money, there are some gamblers that will resume gambling the following day because they can't control their emotions after wining some money. It's better to take some time off after a win.

---

I have also see someone who lost everything he won because he was too eager to win even more, I thought he will keep getting lucky and he learned the hard way.

Getting luckier... well, that’s what we like to believe, but in reality, luck is only temporary.
We shouldn’t force it too much.. sometimes we win, and that’s when we need to learn to be content.

If we really want to chase that feeling of luck, then go for the big ones.. in sports betting, that’s a huge parlay, and in slots, it’s spinning until you hit the jackpot.

How did you lose without even noticing that your balance was burning out? Were you not seeing your balance depreciating and accounting for the number of losses you experienced in each of the games? Even without checking your bet history, unless there is something distracting you, you should be able to know that you are not on the winning side when a higher percentage of all games played end up in losses and the winnings don't hit big. If you experience such, sometimes it's better you close for the day and don't try to fund your account again, as it might end up the same way.

Withdraw and quit for a while after winning big.

That's what I did after I won $500 in slots. I bought a new mattress and some kitchen stuff. Then, I took the kids and my wife to the mall, and we ate a good dinner.
I like enjoying the money that was won from a bit of spending. I don't like trying to go for more and thinking about there might be one more big win that will happen. The possibility of that happening is very low.
As much as possible, we must always enjoy what we won and use it as a reset button for all the stress we went through before receiving it.

I am the kind of person, who withdraw or will withdraw all the money immediately after a large win. Reason for doing that is temptation to continue gambling with increased bet risk. I have spotted that after a large win, I leave amount of my deposit plus a little bit of profit, continue gambling and increase odds or go test other games. You know how it happens, lose a little bit there, play few rounds of different game, make few spins in slots (which is illogical, as few spins never bring anything good despite being very lucky. its like throwing money away), and in the end you realize that large amount was lost. To prevent that, I better leave casino and return later.

I'm not a fan of post win behavior but along the line,I believe I'll be giving in to positivity,more profit and growth instead of addiction.Every gambler have their way of reacting to every of their wins.Even so,many other players have experienced harmful consequences from post win behavior;something that starts as a reward becomes a trap if you're not careful enough.

I am not a good gambler at all, but if I found a life-changing opportunity by winning a big amount, then most probably I will leave gambling. Though not forever, likely I would gamble sometimes for fun or by influence of previous gambling habits. Because I definitely will withdraw all the funds that I win, and I will invest all of them in real life. Most probably I will buy land, which means I will never sell it for gambling again. So my winnings fund will be locked by investing.

I am witness to how gamblers lost their big win. He wins a big amount that is enough to lead a rich life if he invests those funds in real life, even with a low risk. But instead of withdrawing all the funds, that guy constantly gambled; as a result, he lost everything and became a loan defaulter. That's the biggest lesson for me, though often I don't gamble. But whatever I earned from the trading, I just keep cashing out and investing. Though still I am trading, but I have used profits in real life.

Every gambler has a goal before sitting down at the gambling table that he will leave the gambling table as soon as he gets a big win. But how many gamblers can do this? Not many, even I myself cannot leave the gambling table immediately after a big win. My attitude is the same before sitting down at the gambling table, when I start gambling, it becomes a little different. At that time, it becomes difficult to control

Stick with your plans no matter what. You might get the urge to just bet everything and dump your plans but this will be a very horrible idea. Once you go off script it’s hard to recover when you eventually lose again.

This is where the big work comes in; it's not about making the decisions, but it's about keeping that decision intact. Anyone can voice out anything from their mouth or write it down, but keeping up with that decision is where the big problem comes in, but we should always try to kill our greed and keep to our target which we set ourselveseven before starting to gamble; if not, it will be hard to make a little bonus out of gambling.

If I’m still having fun then I will keep playing. That is, after all, the reason people gamble.

First though, if the win is big enough… I will get out of my seat and do a little dance. Similar to the Trump dance only with some spinning and usually a hand clap and finger guns at the end. I do the same thing after taking a bite of delicious food.

I'm one of those people who play and log off, then play again the next day or in a week or something like that. I really enjoy the money I win, even if it's not much, I enjoy it because it's the fruit of my effort and luck, and that should be celebrated. I don't quit playing completely just for a few days; I think that's the fairest thing for me. Then I continue playing normally, betting with small amounts of money.

I haven't seen any gambler that quit after heavy winning, they might rest or go far away from gambling for a while but can't quit entirely, it doesn't happen where I come from. Someone can actually quit after staying loyal but no evidence, trying many times but no results, giving in the work, time and energy but nothing to show.

That's when you could see a gambler fading away and quiting gambling forever. imo though.

I think at least some of the gamblers are there just to enjoy a bit of time.

Not everyone is there for the big payout, as some actually know the chances are very slim.

It depends, but yeah, some are actually waiting for that big win.

Many people gamble with the goal of making a profit, but I agree with you, some do it purely for fun. Beyond that, they certainly want to win, but they understand that winning isn't easy, so they manage to control themselves well enough to stay in good shape.

These people likely realize the odds of winning in gambling are slim, so they understand and accept that they lose more often. And here's the test: they have to accept that they lose more often than they win. And when they win, they immediately withdraw their winnings because the casino can likely take back their winnings if the player still wants a bigger win.

Gambling has a greater spirit that you can't even imagine it, gambling spirits is too much but if you can also control the gambling spirits that's to say you are also a big spirit too.

No let me come in,to me this question is base on individual difference but to me I prefer quitting for the main time when I heat big in gambling I wish to use the money to use and start something reasonable,sorry to say this ,my first money I won I use it to start a good investment that's is still shining today , second I use it to buy a motorcycle which am still using till today ,but if you continue at that moment you won big money they might succeed in spending all the money in betting again and it will now because had I know is the last comment of a fool ,so invest with it and gamble less.

The right decision is to immediately withdraw any winnings from gambling, whether they are small or large. When you win & don't immediately withdraw all of your winnings, your brain will automatically stimulate the desire to continue gambling in the hope of even greater winnings. It's easy to predict that gambling isn't about winning, winning & winning. If that happens, it will inevitably become a bad habit that will have a very negative impact on your gambling game & ultimately on yourself, leading to destruction & loss. Withdraw all your winnings immediately & enjoy your victory. Don't let that victory become the beginning of your own destruction & loss.

It's good that you've realized this from your previous experiences, Greed and other factors such as emotions that never return to the victory you hoped for in the game make it difficult for you to control yourself and that is what makes you destroyed in gambling. I think the steps you have taken in this case are quite wise. And even if I get lucky in gambling, even if it doesn't match my target, I will do the same thing as you said above, stop early and enjoy the results we get. Remember our goal in gambling is to have fun, but if the money comes, never waste it. It's better to cash it in and then enjoy it.
