Are you already happy if you can double your money, or do you want more?

I am interested to know your personal perspective and experience as well. I understand that as gamblers, we have different financial statuses in life. Some gamble for fun, while others are very serious about it. Can you relate to the question and answer it? How realistic is your target profit when gambling? Are you already happy with a 100% return, or do you want a 1000% return? Please use figures in your explanation so we can understand it better.

In my case it depends on the situation, because it depends on my salary and income. Based on my salary I set aside a certain amount for gambling and my income is not always the same. And based on that fund I used to set the strategy and set my gambling loss and win limit. And sometimes when I can't control my self it goes up to the limit. But as usually when I do the sports betting it's like depends on the odds.

If your goal is only to make a double with your capital it seems that it's ideal to reach you can have an option to make a single bet or multiple bet of course higher number of bet requires a designated amount per day unlike a full single bet in a game. When I'm playing gambling I always set a limit to my self the capital, the loss and amount target profit onced I reach this already I will stop and call it for a day so I can enjoy my winnings and not getting more greedy and also good because I have another capital for the next day

I am not a greedy gambler who wants to win more and more after winning, because I understand how it will end - I can lose more money. After I have won some money, I will immediately withdraw it, I will not gamble it again because I have learned from my experience that when a gambler is greedy and wants to get more money after winning, he will end up losing more money. And so I prefer to take my profit and not be greedy to make it more.

Greed is what will make a gambler set a profit target when he wants to gamble, acting as if his winnings are by his own skills, and doings. A gamblers should only have a gamble budget and if he is not lucky to win during the period that he exhausted his gambling budget, he should quit.

If you win fine and be satisfied with whatever amount that came in so that you don't continue gambling to reach your profit target and end up losing all your bankroll. When you plan to win more is when you get it wrong.

Yea alot of persons will say that they gamble for fun, which to some might be true since they have actually made alot from gambling. But then gambling can only be fun when it have been profitable for you. I can't say for everyone though but for me it's just that way I see it fun. When we win, we get excited which make it fun for us. Though when you get too serious about your gambling activities you might end up losing so much than you had intended to. So you just try your best to minimize your risk and maximize all the wins you have. Don't make it a compulsory thing that you must have a win in your gambling session. You previous win doesn't necessarily determine that you will have a next win.

[darkangel11]

I'm totally happy when I double my money. I'm fine even if it's +50% of what I came with.
Usually I set myself some limits and those are:
Deposit only what you want to play in a session, if that's at 0 the session ends and does not start until you're ready to deposit again (usually days or weeks later).
There's a time limit. If you're just a bit up or a bit down after an hour or 90 min of gambling, you end it. I will never spend more than 2 hours playing any type of game. If I can't get definitive results in that time, I'll end and withdraw what I have to finish for the day.
If I'm up 50% I'll consider quitting. It will either be a full quit, or I'll withdraw the starting deposit and keep playing with the profit until the time limit.
100% or more in profit is an instant quit for me. I don't chase profits.

[madnessteat]

As I have already said many times that sometimes it is enough for me to increase my deposit by 20-30% and I try to finish the gambling session. I consider this percentage to be quite a good profit for high-risk entertainment. Of course I can lose this money in the next gambling session, but I like the feeling when you realize that you could not only win, but also defeated your greed. In my opinion, it is an inexpressible feeling.

When I set higher goals for myself, for example doubling my deposit, it led to more losses.

This is a very good question because most gamblers are not determined on what they consider as a good win. Someone will gamble with $2 and wins $5 and it won't be like a good win for them. They just want to win $200 with $5 before it will be considered a good win. This is the beginning of failure in gambling. If gamblers will take profits and be happy as traders do, many people will be having good wins in gambling than losses.
I am personally having a second thought because of this thread, maybe I'll start going by percentage win and be happy even if it's 10% profit.

It depends on the game you are playing, like if you are playing live soccer, you can be tempted to continue going on after having a 100% return because you are there live and you have friends around who may keep influencing you. Regards to board games, you can take a break if you have made 100% but only when you can control your emotions. Usually, a 100% return is okay for me so that you can some time for yourself.

Emotion is key to whatever decision we take in gambling, a 100% return is reasonable so that you don't begin to lose and regret.

The answer to your question depends on the bet amount.

Let's say I have $10. I managed to double the amount, which will be $20. Will this be enough for me? I think not, and I will continue to play in the hope of increasing the deposit to at least $100. But most likely, I will not succeed for reasons known to all gamblers (low RTP) and instead of doubling the amount, I will receive a complete loss of the deposit.

Consider another case. $1000. Doubling this amount will be $2000 and in this case, I would not continue the game and take the deposit. But for serious gamblers, this amount will seem ridiculous and they will continue to play in the hope of increasing the deposit to $10,000. That is, it turns out that the "factor of the significance of the bet for the gambler" (individual-subjective perception of the amount of money) should also be taken into account.

So, when asked whether x2 is enough, some variables such as the bet amount and the gambler's perception of that bet (the gambler's value) will influence the final answer.

the only time when you're in two position of getting iether an 100% return or getting more than that is when you can decide to cash out uo to an amount or wait till the game plays to an end and then you can get your complete win. Whatever decision you make in such a case isn't entirely bad because depending on the day, there are times when you cash out and that becomes your best decision while thier are other times when you wait till the end of the game and it's the best decision. Thier can be other cases when after cashing out you discovered you've made a bad decision and should have waited while thier are instance that after waiting till the end of the game you then discover that you've lost even all the money that was available at it been you've cashed out when the opportunity was still available.

Greed is bad and the best way to go about gambling is to be happy with every profit you've made and don't underate any amount you've won. If you're led to wait till you win up to the complete 109% you've stacked, you can give it a try but if you have up to 60% to 70 of the the total win available to be cashed out, it's best to just take your win away and don't try to be too greedy.

[Adbitco]

I am already comfortable with the amount I do earned during gambling, what I mean is that I don't target 100x neither did I need 1000x if stake games. I target 2x to 5x maximum because it's very easier to make winning although our earnings depends on the amount we stake on bet or gambling.
If stake 100$ for bet of 2.5 odds this shows that I am targeting to make 100x2.5 which is 250$ and is fair enough as a gambler to earn as a return of bet if successful win.

[Jody.Drummer]

For me, I usually don't have high hopes for winning in gambling, but that doesn't mean I don't want to win, usually I only bet a small amount, not exceeding 10% of my total income, and when in one session I manage to win any amount, for example getting a 50% increase or half of the capital I brought, then it's not difficult for me to cash out, especially when I'm bored with the way the game is going, or what I mean is that I don't set any winning target in gambling.

But when luck comes and brings me to victory, especially in large amounts, then of course I won't waste the opportunity to then cash out, because after all it's a decent amount to help me meet some of my living needs.

In my opinion, this problem depends on the approach and understanding of a gambler, simply put, if they are an addicted gambler, then there is clearly no word stop in any situation, especially when winning, because even if they have managed to get a profit of 100%, then they will increase it again to 1000% and so on, and this is a typical gambler who will never know the word stop unless they have run out of all their money.

Of course i would like a 1000% return as more the money the better it is 

But on a serious note, how about thinking that if we can save our seed money in gambling we are good to go. I mean it is much better to lower the expectations from gambling as in this way, we will always keep ourselves in limits and never overspend out of our emotions. Also if someone does not have big targets from gambling, even if he wins a 10 or 20% he will be more than happy and will never be greedy. It is just a mid game of not thinking about big returns from gambling. High returns may still come to us even if we are not expecting them

While atit, there should be no expectations is what I believe and preach, gambling isn't supposed to be seen as an opportunity to make money. Well, obviously money is the reason why gambling is more entertaining than just sports so if I able to double the money I will be happy to take out my deposit and let the winning rewards to take high risks than usual so if there's more luck left I win more or busted so my approach is go big or go home when I don't risk the deposit funds anymore.

[bering]

Considers gambling for fun is more good rather than expect to win but indeed when people has starting to gambling i am sure the main reason is they want to earn extra money from it even so with me although i want to gamble for fun but it could be good if i ended my gambling activities with gets some profit from my initial money but just like people know gambling result is based of luck and it's hard to gets profit from that

And regarding OP question of course i would be happy if i can gets the particular amount of profit from gambling and during gamble actually i was never targetting any profit because if i feel want to stop from gambling then i will decide to leave the game whatever profit i make and if i can double my money i think i would be very happy to accept that but it was rare for me to gets 100% profit from gambling and usually if i won from gambling the profit is only 20% or below from my initial money

[danherbias07]

As of now, it depends on the gambling site.
Let's use BK8php as an example. There's this daily mission where you deposit higher and you get points but since I am a cheap guy I only deposit the minimum which is 200 php. Now, after I win x1.5 which is 300 PHP, I withdraw everything and then just deposit back the 200 PHP so it would add to my daily mission. The only twist is, that you only get a 10 times chance to withdraw so you must use it wisely if you are looking just to increase your points. Then the rakeback is also paying well as long as you can play at 1000 bets or higher in one slot provider.
Do I do this on other gambling sites like Stake.com? No. That's because Stake.com is not counting withdrawals and deposits, it's about the wagered amount to get a VIP rank. So there's no need to withdraw the funds until you hit the right amount that you want, either x2 or x3 of your capital.
Yes, I will withdraw if I find myself doubling my initial deposit.

I think that having financial goals in gambling is not quite right. How can I know exactly what I will earn in (attention) gambling. I can't say for everyone, but only for myself, for today's bet or several bets are important. In general, I see whether I am in the plus or in the minus and what is happening on my account, but setting goals regarding earnings and tying them to a date - this is not clear to me. What to do in case of minus, for example, you have played in the minus for the last three months. You need to analyze, sort it out, but in fact you need to finish, because this financial project is unprofitable. If a person plays for fun, then financial losses will not bother him so much.

In my own opinion I think aiming more than a hundred percent return is considered to be greed, if you can successfully get a hundred percent return of your capital in a day it's better to quit for the day, aiming higher than that only increases the chances of losing, There are people that stake with a high capital and they set of target to get a hundred percent return on a weekly basis..some people aim higher than this because they play under pressure and desperation... setting a target of hundred percent Profit isn't a guarantee of a successful outcome but atleast it's a calculated risk

Are you already happy with a 100% return, or do you want a 1000% return?

By doubling my money gambling I will be happy and satisfied for the day, but not forever. Inevitably, I will wish to come back over and over again to keep doubling my money along several gambling sessions. Is it still considered to be happy with a 100% return?

Most of us don't play with large amounts of money, so to just double our bankroll once won't be enough for any considerable achievements and life improvements at all. In the end, to double few bucks isn't enough. A good thing would be to start a gambling session with a large bankroll (something like 50,000$-100,000$), double it and then quit forever. If the gambler is able to do this on short run, it's more likely he can leave the casino with profit on his pockets. However, if he insists coming back for more, he will lose all progress made.
