Basically, I take the winnings. The exception may be situations where the winning amount is too small, then it may make sense to try to double it.

Exactly. If it's just peanuts, rather take the chance. Double it or lose it.

It depends, if this bet is for the entire bankroll of that site, no. If the bet is refering to a part of winnings a few times I try this risky bet!

Well, if we're talking about the whole BR, of course not. It's only about an amount that you would've won.

Doubling peanuts will only get you peanuts if you win, what are you taking a chance on. :)

True, but what I really mean is not to take chances if it's a significant win. Peanuts don't matter win or lose.

For example, a $1 spin returns 21 cents, you double and win making the return 42 cents, that still means that you've lost 58 cents for the spin. If you gamble the 5x or higher depending on how high you want to go, then when you win, it's a significant win.

You're better off to never use the gamble feature, it's only there for the house to make money.

I try to double small winnings in most cases. But this is only about small winnings. Which winnings are considered small and which are big - it all depends on my limit for the evening.

dont trust a sportsbook or a casino to offer the correct odds (even after accounting for their usual small cut ).

I remember the double or nothing feature on ACR , I was losing big time , most of the times . The same I can say ror slots . The double or multiply feature costs me a lot on the long run , it doesn't seem to work , to pay . Not even small min wins , so how can I risk a big win on such a feature when I know that most probably I'll lose .
