For you, online casino players.
Whenever you hit something, some online casinos offer you the option of doubling the amount won or lose it by gambling on a high/low card for example.
Do you take your winning or do you gamble?

If my winning is between 1x and 3x of my stake I double, but if its 5x up I dont gamble

Yeah, it is hard enough for me winning in the first place, so I am not likely to risk losing it by trying to double up.

Fair enough. Not too greedy. I think I would do the same.

Well, I would say it would depend on the size of the win. If it's a nice win, no need to gamble. But if it's just double your bet, why not take a chance!

I avoid unnecessary risk. Therefore, I usually reject such offers in most cases. But, of course, there are exceptions. Sometimes the amount you win can be quite small, and maybe, if the mood is right, you can try to take a chance once 🙂

That's exactly what I would do if I played in online casinos. Those offers are like "sucker bets" and designed to increase the casino edge anyway.

It all depends on the mood and the situation. I try to double my winnings only if the winnings are less than the bet I chose for the game. For example, in slots, the bet is $2 and I win $1, then I will be willing to take the risk to have a chance to get my bet back.
 
I've done both, but when I am not falling asleep on my feet, I usually take the money and run.

As you know, I don’t gamble anymore, but when I used to play, if I were offered this choice, my answer would be “take my winning,” without risking anything else, without a doubt! My adventurous spirit isn’t that big, and even small prizes mean a lot to me! Good luck, Sami!

I see it big enough on the poker tables Diva 🤪🤪. Just kidding, you're right, in that kind of bet that only help the casino, why bother.
And best of luck to you too, see you in a bit maybe.

We have a saying here: "Quem não arrisca não petisca", something like that: “Nothing ventured, nothing gained!, but I think: “Why risk what’s already a sure thing?” But we have this temptation and ambition to win more and more—if that gets out of control, it could be our downfall! See you later at those crazy poker tournament tables 🤣🙂🍀!

I wouldn't gamble any winnings via this method. Because you get way less play time and entertainment using that option.
 
dont be a fool and fall for a casino offer . i'm not even sure if they are giving you a fair wager !

Good point. But what if you only won an amount equal to your bet?
