What is your Take Profit?
And do you have one at all?
I have a Take Profit, this is my so-called "upper limit" upon reaching which I simply stop the game and close the session. My limit for the evening on slots is $20-$30. As soon as the total on my account is $100-$150, I stop and close the session. Do you have this limit, this bell that signals you that the plan for today is fulfilled?

Usually, when I play slots, I set a loss limit as part of my entertainment budget. And if I’ve already made a decent profit, I know it’s time to stop.....

Betting everything on luck is a one-shot strategy. But if you want your money to work for you, you need other tools.The simplest and most proven of them is a bank deposit.While gambling slowly but surely takes away your money due to the house edge, deposits multiply it due to the interest rate.

If I win $100 with $20, I'll definitely stop too. But unfortunately, these reasons for stopping arise so rarely that it's even embarrassing to talk about it.

If I make $10 into $30, that's a reason for me to end the game, but not the evening. I'll just move on to another game or sit at a different table. I stop more intuitively, but I rarely spend more than $30-50.

Do you mean $20 to $30 loss or profit?

For me, I try to follow a simple rule:

For online poker, I double the buy-in and then leave. I think that as your stack grows, there is a chance of losing it all in a single bad beat.

For live cash poker, I rarely leave because I want to maximize profits. I usually just stay and play as long as I’m enjoying it.

Depending on my mood. If I'm making a profit, I never stop. But if I start losing, that's definitely a reason for me to think about ending the game.

I recently put $100.00 into a Huff and more Puff slot at my local club and within 10 $1 spins I hit a $220.00 win, I immediately cashed out and stopped playing.

👍

It all depends on the amount I have for the game. If it is, for example, $100, then I will gladly take $50 of profit and finish the game. But if it is, for example, $10, then I will finish the game when I can make at least $20 of profit.

I do not have a fixed take profit, as I only gamble small amounts, but do have a loss limit plan so I can treat it as pure fun. If I get very lucky then I will usually stop no matter the % gain.

If the slots give 1:1 I think that's a very good result. So good that it's definitely not worth continuing :)
