Getting a double up on my initial deposit is nice if I am broke that week
The problem is that for some, they can barely survive their everyday but they will still go and gamble. You said you might be broke for that week which implies you are not exactly suffering but some people are broke every week and they are expecting to get out of poverty from gambling which should not be tolerated.

I always try to get the most out of a single event. I don't care about the odds I'm going to win, but I care about how safe they are. Trying to reach a "pre-established" target leads to playing with more risk and to risking more than necessary...

Usually I'm looking to earn 5x of my bankroll, I think it's not too high and not that low. If I still have a time to gamble, I will withdraw 400% of my profit and continue to gamble with my initial bankroll to reach 5x of my bankroll again.
Making 100x of my bankroll is high unlikely, the chance is quite low, since I gamble for fun, I don't want to end up having many bad days after I finish my gambling session.

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.
I am not a serious or high-risk gambler since gambling, for me, is not a reliable source of income. Getting 1000% could be seen as a jackpot and I have never experienced it. 100% is realistic and I have been lucky to experience it severally. I don't have a target when I am gambling since it is an unpredictable activity. Having a target might lead to chasing losses or gambling more than my budget. I simply visit casinos to enjoy games and win some money if it is my lucky day. With an open mind, I accept the outcome of my games and leave the casino when I have exhausted my budget.

The percentage of my wins before I exhaust my gambling budget for the day doesn't really matter to me, when the bankroll finishes I collect whatever percentage. If it's a lose after the bankroll exhausts then I still move on because I gamble with the amount that I can afford to loose. Every gambler naturally wants more and there's nothing wrong with aiming for 1000% profit on your capital but to suppress greed 100% increase on my capital is very reasonable. Aiming for 1000% profit in gambling by all means is not a good habit.

The 1000% return of the capital amount that you will gamble is a bit unrealistic; before you can get it, you will have to lose a large amount of money playing gambling. Unless you really get lucky, although it rarely happens, Because when I play gambling in an online casino, if the capital that I bet doubles, I am satisfied with that, and I will stop and leave the limit amount that I am gambling with.
As much as you want 1000% ROI, that is greediness in my understanding, and that is not good in my understanding, and I agree with what I have seen in other gamblers that they are already chasing their losses in playing gambling.

I have a small bankroll, so I must be looking for a bigger return to be satisfied. With the choices in the OP, I'd pick a 1000% return. I know it's quite hard but not impossible; it doesn't necessarily have to be achieved in just one day, it could be in a week, and I feel happy with the results if I could get that. If you are really good with sports betting, it's not impossible to grow your bankroll to that percentage. All you have to do is ensure consistency and, at the same time, discipline in managing your bankroll. Consider it a long-term journey, and eventually, you'll reach your goal.
Basically everyone must like it if they get free money or get a large amount of money with little effort, and maybe I would say that people who managed to win 1000% of their capital are one of the luckiest people in the gambling world, there is nothing wrong with choosing something much bigger than the minimum, because even though at first glance it looks very difficult but as you said that does not mean it is impossible. This is gambling where everything can come unexpectedly.So just choosing is not a problem, but what will be a problem is when you try to justify all means to achieve that 1000% profit, because even though it might happen but we all will never know when luck will come, and it is also proven that in some cases what always triggers problems is because someone who always tries to force their hopes to get a big win, remember that victory is not to be pursued regardless of even if for example you are quite good at betting, because the pursuit process is very likely to mess up all your money management and psychological planning.

x2 is a very good coefficient. If you managed to do it, then you can congratulate yourself. However, there are obvious nuances here. Everything depends on the absolute value of the amount that you managed to multiply. If you made x2 from 5 dollars, then this is rather a pleasant trifle that you will not pay any attention to, and if you made x2 from 1000 dollars, then you can safely fix the profit. Many people therefore confuse absolute values and relative ones. If you operate with large amounts, then a much lower level of profit may be acceptable for you.

Getting a double up on my initial deposit is nice if I am broke that week or whatever, but normally I would rather get 100x my money. I'm gambling for the big win and the thrill, not gambling trying to make lunch money. I guess it just depends on your financial situation in the end.

First of all I never consider gambling as a means of making money even when I gamble it's just for fun even in my spare time. As long as I have gambled, I have gambled with small amounts of money and I have no regrets even if I lose. Even if I win I want to be 100% calm and not increase it because it can make me more addicted to gambling later on. There are many who after winning their gambles gamble again on impulse only to find that instead of winning they lose their entire money again. Just as greed has to be controlled in gambling, emotions also have to be controlled.
Since losses in gambling are greater than profits, So if a gambler is able to double his gambling money, he should stop gambling instead of increasing his money by 1000%.

Of course, I'm happy whenever I reach my daily quota. Hitting green always makes gamblers happy. It depends, but most of the time, I aim for a 100% gain from my daily bankroll before I call it a day. Recently, I've been doing up to 300%, even surpassing it if I feel like my luck will last a bit longer. My bankroll isn't that great, so there's no need to mention how much it is. I end up burning through my bankroll most of the time, nearly before I reach my quota.

Even if I don't use figures, my comment will still be very easy to understand.For somebody like myself, I am not rich yet and I have a strong desire to become rich.
So, where ever there is an opportunity to make money and become rich, I am in to make the highest or biggest amount of money possible, could be x1000, or even x100, 000, does not really matter, all that matters is that, I am hungry to make the highest amount of money possible to make.
But also, to expect too much from gambling can be suicidal at times and for some people, so, it's always better to channel such desires towards a better means through which money can be made, like for example..
1. Investing In different assets that could grow in price in the future.
2. Starting a business where one can buy goods for cheap and sell them for the highest price.
Gambling is not an activity one should depend on for financial breakthrough, it's just a game and only the extremely lucky people make life changing amount of money from gambling.

I guess it's not about doubling your money, because gambling varies. In a sports bet, a 2.00 odds is already good enough. That's double your money. But that's already considered a risky bet because there's only a 50:50 chance for you to win or lose.
This isn't applicable, however, when you're playing in a casino. If you go into a casino bringing a couple hundred dollars, you won't probably be satisfied and immediately call it a night right after making $400. You'd probably linger around for some time especially if you usually spend a few hours per session and you've already doubled your money in the first 30 minutes.
This is just my opinion. As far as sports betting is concerned, it's a matter of odds. But as far as casino gambling is concerned, it's probably a matter of playing time unless you're already drained of money before you even want to go home.

I would say that this completely depends on how much I'm playing with (or gambling with). If I put in say .001btc in to my gambling account I expect to quadruple it at minimum before I plan to even take that amount out of my account and back in to my bank or whatever. For me such a small amount really just wouldn't make much of a different whether I had it or lost it (not that every dime doesn't matter, because it does) but I have to have it be worth my time going through the process. If I lay a big bet down, say a few hundred USD, then I'm more likely to cash out after the win.

Depending on the state of my session and the level of my happiness, if i'm on a hot winning streak i'm usually happy to the point that i'd withdraw what I deposited and spend the rest of what's left. There are also days when I struggle to profit, and still somehow pull it off with the help of luck, at that point i'm happy to withdraw everything and cool down for a few days or more than a week. I mostly gamble for fun, so for me, I always prioritize getting the most entertainment from my gambling money over earning a lot of profit.

I should be happy for 100%, that's really a lucky winning streak for me and If I bet $1k then I won $2k? That's an amazing legacy, I would never expect another risk just to get another chance. There's a lot of stories coming from people who experience several lucky winning, but in the long period of gambling they'll ended up suffering from losing streaks and in fact financial problems begun to exist.
Gambling is about winning and losing and winning depends on luck, so in the long run it is impossible to continue to experience defeat, surely there will be certain times for us to get a win, at least get a 50% increase from the capital we bring, and as I said that experiencing a losing streak is our own actions that gamble excessively, and that usually happens when in the past you managed to win big, and by having a correct understanding of what opportunities really are and how luck works we should avoid trying to find other opportunities to get the same results, because that is the same as you directing yourself to high risk, while we know that nothing is certain in terms of the results of the game.

I can't say how it is for everyone, but in my case, if I win a bet, I feel very happy and I get so excited that I lose all self-control afterwards. But after getting the profit I don't bet again but stop for a long time after understanding the amount of profit. If a bet comes up with Hundred percent backup, there is no need to bet again. Since I am a non-professional gambler, I participate in gambling only for entertainment, in this case, even if I get a small profit, the amount of entertainment comes to me more, so I consider myself very happy after receiving profit as entertainment.
