If I doubled my money in just a couple of bets I would absolutely continue to play. I usually play because I want to entertain myself. I will follow at least half of the planned time for me to play in order to at least protect my gains. And nowadays I don't gamble big amounts unlike before the COVID pandemic, so doubling my money is not much for me. Maybe a few hundred dollars of profit would make me think of stopping or at least making a limit on my next bets so I can still take home some profits.

So for me, what matters is my playing time and the amount of the gain.  

I think for anyone who's not risking big amounts, doubling their money isn't something significant. If you make $0.10-$0.25 bets, like I mostly do, doubling is nothing, right? Sometimes I continue playing even after hitting 100x, but if it's 400x or more, I stop right away. I'm not withdrawing the money I won. I will be betting with them in the future, but not the day I won them. I want to enjoy my winnings for some time.
I would not risk for the second time ! and it is always a good idea to risk small amount

It really depends on how we will tolerate ourselves after experiencing a big win. Sometimes, if we won big, there's a thing inside our mind telling us to continue gambling because after all, we are lucky. If we stop, we might not win again. That will now test how far we will continue to play.

As much as we can, always put a limit after a big winning. Maybe just risks around 10-15% of our total winnings.

It's ok to gamble again but we should at least enjoy the big money we won.

if your goal is entertainment it doesn't matter, all there are ways to enjoy life including in other people's opinion it's risky. Many think that playing is just spent without seeing the fun in it. Far from in previous years many have sacrificed time like you. then if it's not free in my opinion, it's an individual right to access it. maybe in the future there will be more games than now which of course will be covered with the latest technology such as slots. Casino and other games
Yes, we should play gambling because we want to get entertainment from gambling rather than forcing ourselves to chase more winning money, especially if we can get big wins in a short time. That means we have become greedy and that greed is not good for us because if we continue, no one will know if we can win some more money or lose more money, even though we have already won large winnings.
If it is about entertainment one has the right to play the way he wants but if it is about playing to make profit it is better to play ones , no need to continue to play.
  Continous playing and expecting a win and at the end it turns up to be lose can lead to depression.
If people who often gamble can realize this, I don't think there will be people who will experience depression, let alone have the desire to commit suicide because of a big loss. But that's what's happening all around us. People tend to want to recover their losses next time and if they win big, they still play with the assumption that it is part of the money they made in the process of recovering their previous losses.

But it would be better if they could stop immediately when they got a big win, especially if they could win a lot of money in a short time. It would be worth more to get than keep trying to recover their other losses.

When someone was winning big amounts of money. Im sure that he/she will not even see that as an entertain anymore. People may call that as an entertain when they were bet with small amounts of money but once they will be winning like 500x multiplier and then they will be withdrawing their money. You ust also aware if we are still in the crisis and so many people need money. that proves that if there's no need to continue to gamble it but you may try to left small amounts of money in your wallet and then withdraw the rest.
Im sure that mostly of people will be withdrawing their money to their wallet rather than holding it even longer.

Some still see it a a form of entertainment despite winning big. However, most of them already see it as another source of income to make profit from the moment they consecutively win big after several attempt of betting. Initially, the thrill becomes their driving force to gamble, but as the time goes by and their winnings increase further, they become driven by the money it might bring them.

Although it must still be remembered that gambling isn't a shortcut to becoming wealthy or becoming a successful person. Because in the first place, there is no such thing as shortcut. Self-awareness must be practiced so that anyone won't be lost in their gambling journey.. Once you win, you should also assess the situation on when to continue and when to stop to avoid inflicting damages to oneself. Thinking about where to use the money the moment you withdraw is needed too, since as you've mentioned most people will withdraw their money instead of holding it. Checking where to intelligently put that fund can be beneficial to someone if they will do the right thing.

This is what makes gambling addictive, whenever you win and earn money from it, it attracts you to play more and win another game, I've been in this situation before so many times, there are times that whenever I keep on winning, it makes me more active and it gives me more energy to play even though it is already time to sleep, there is also some time that I already forgot to sleep because it is already morning.

There are also some instances that when you are already losing, it also makes you feel to play more and turn back the money that has been lost from you, so I suggest if you wanna gamble you should have disciplined and always know your limitations. be contented with your wins

You need to be careful, I could understand if this happened to people once in a while as no one has perfect control over their impulses and their emotions, but if this is something that happens to you with some frequency then it is time to put some attention to it.

Because as you say the desire to keep gambling can be incredibly strong in some people and this could cause them to gamble for a lot longer than what they planned and to spend more money than what they had in mind too, and neither of those options is healthy at all if you want to keep control over your gambling.

If you are playing gambling for example slots and you double money with just a couple of bets on very early part of your game. Will you stop already or continue playing to earn more?

I’ve been on this situation many times before and I keep playing until I get the entertainment that I want and to have more profit. But the result is always ended up losing everything because it’s very easy to increase bet if you knew that your money that you use is a profit.  Cheesy

Well it all depends on how much I've doubled. You don't expect me to quit playing for the day because I doubled my one thousand naira for Instance, I have to keep playing because I already have a target to achieve before leaving the house and if along the line, I meet my target even earlier, I still wouldn't have to leave especially if I have nothing doing back home.

Gambling is addictive most times especially when you're on the winning side, you would want to put more effort for a greater reward and most times end up losing.
Putting more efforts could be, putting more money and maybe betting on higher odds

Voted for I Dont Know as because this is depend on how much is my capital , if lets assume that My budget is thousand dollars and I made it double? man I will surely leave the table and may be back again next time.

But if my starting capital is just a peanut and I made it doubled? then i will play more not just for entertainment but to win of course.
I am not hypocrite enough to not admit my main intention and that is to gamble lol.
Of course, those who come to gamble will not just have fun and wait for their balance to run out and then leave the casino.
what you do is certainly realistic. gamble to win. get a big win, of course, will withdraw the winnings and leave the casino for a while.
it's possible that some heavy gamblers won't do that. one big win will trigger a greater curiosity for other victories. like thinking, today is a good day for me, and why not make the most of it? whatever happened after, there would probably only be regrets.

If I win early I'll be tempted to keep playing but I usually try to stop after winning big.

OP is making this hard by asking about doubling my money because it can mean a few things. You can double the money you have deposited or double a single bet. If I had a bet of $10 and won, I'd keep playing, but if that bet was $10k, I'd stop for sure. Same with my money in the casino. If I had $20 there and kept playing with $1 bets until I get to 40, I'd probably still play, but if I got a jackpot and made it to $400 out of my $40, I'd stop playing.

I try to work on my greed.

Same here. I mean, I can't imagine betting $10k or even $1k at once, but if I hit a 200x+ multiplier on my bet, I stop in most of the cases. The only exception is when it's a higher multiplier contest, and I know that 200x wouldn't be enough to get a prize. In that case I will continue betting until I hit something bigger or lose enough to stop for the day.

I don't usually prefer slot games because my luck is really bad, but if I try my luck at the slot one day and double my money, I will definitely withdraw my deposit and continue with the slot with my winnings. I don't like to take risks in gambling and therefore I prefer more secure(!?) methods. In fact, for this reason, I prefer to bet on football matches rather than games such as slots, because when I choose this way, I think that I create a prediction by at least some data. Of course, I also respect those who take risks. I wish everyone a happy and fun days... :)

Gambling for me are not about profit.... because I gamble for entertainment. So I will simply leave the money that I won ..on the casino to continue gambling. Yes, when I win something huge... I will withdraw a small amount to treat my family and friends or to buy something nice.... but the majority of the winnings stay on the casino.  Tongue

                             That is why they say... "If you do not quit when you win big.. the house always win"
I guess even if we say we gamble for entertainment, but we know deep inside we want to gain profits aside. And that’s when you get instant lucky and won huge amount. So for me, I will stop gambling immediately and just gamble again the next day. This has always happened to me and then continue to chase more profits because of greed, but still end up losing everything. So now, as much as possible I want to control my greed, so I can enjoy my profits without chances of losing them.

I personally prefer to stop when I have managed to double my balance, and of course the addiction still invites me to play, but most of the time I stop, and promise myself to stop on that day, then usually will play again a few days later, I think this is risk management and mentality for me, if I don't pay attention to it then I will lose.

This is a wise choice.
Many people say that gambling is how to control yourself.
On the other hand, self-control is not only when we lose but when we gain.
Controlling ourselves when profit or loss is actually still a strategy in gambling because if we can't resist gambling even though we have made big profits or are actually losing, this is obviously very unfortunate considering this is a step we have to take.
It's actually harder to control yourself and to stop when you're at positive and you keep winning because you've got money on your hands to keep on going.

Because when you've lost it all, you'll have no choice but to stop and call that a day because you have nothing left anymore to gamble and that's basically all you have to do and just go away and go home sadly.

Unlike when you're winning, you'll have the resources and that will encourage you to keep on gambling because that's almost nothing to you when you're at a winning streak.
This is a challenge whether we are able to get through it or not because if we continue to play and lose even with resources from profits, this is still not very good.
Lots of people often say self-control but this is not enough just with words and must be with real actions so that regardless of the benefits we get, of course we have to determine what we should keep.
Playing is still possible and it is an option but it would be better if we save that profit for another time.
Exercising self-control over your actions is something that has always been really difficult, not only in gambling but in many other aspects of our lives, the one person which has learned how to do this has a huge advantage over the rest of the population because that means that in most circumstances regardless of how adverse they may be he has a way higher chance of taking the right decision, and this invaluable as many times life offer us choices that at the surface may not seem to be complicated but that at the long term they can change your life.

Funny enough I have learned this in the hard way.I usually like only Play n Go slot except a few times when I play other providers like Relax Gaming or No limit City.What I have learned from my experience of losing about 5400 USD from last December up until sometime ago when I decided to quit is that at this specific provider if you increase the bet 99% of the times you will go bust and only 1% it will result in you getting the bonus round or a big win to continue playing your favorite slot.I believe this to be the same with most other providers but I don't know,while for Play n Go I know it for sure as I have experienced it first hand.

Oh wow that's a big loss at one casino, it's good that you switched. If I were in your shoes I probably would have already switched casinos after losing 1,000-1,500 USD. Losing larger amounts or a lot of games in a row makes me cautious for depositing new money at the same casino, I would rather try my luck in the same game at a different casino. I know it's all probabilities and it doesn't really make sense to switch because it's the same probabilities of winning. But I am a little superstitious when it comes to gambling, same goes for winning or losing streaks. Some gambling sessions it's impossible to win, the longer I play the more I will lose, it's better to take a break and start fresh again. Especially if you feel like once you increase your bets you lose in 99% of the cases. The casino has an edge over us that will make them win in the long run. Before losing too much money I would always consider taking a break and save the rest of my bankroll for another day.

I am taking a break every 5 rounds, whether I am winning or better to take a pause when I'm losing. Taking a break can help me to ease my mind and plan for the next step, because I knew myself if I will continue this thing and even though i am losing and losing I will make another deposit and will have  bad decision that will lead me to lose more, self discipline is hard but we need it.

This year I have been more immersed in the games with PF, I have added volume and I have added to my route the slots, that we are going to see if I stick to the maximum of 100 spins and bets $0.1 -$0.2 (I like 1 penny slots). Then it's simple, nice multiplier or nothing comes up, no more bets on that slot.

Btw even though I try not to get out of the betting cap at $0.2 (max), I found a challenge from a casino out there where the minimum bet limit was $0.5 and the minimum multiplier was 10x, I said let's see how it goes and this happened:

Stop  Smiley

I was lucky... in fact I made an extra bet... whatever, I closed the slots and no more. By the way, that's from just a few minutes ago.



Finally, In my case it is part of the fun to take these jumps of up to 50x of what is my minimum bet in the slots which is $0.01.
In my active days in gambling I sometimes try to participate in the casino promotions like the one you joined. This makes gambling more worth it because it can double our profit and I feel that gambling this way makes more sense because you have a goal. You need to hunt for that certain multiplier or number but of course I do set my own limits too. In your case, it was 100 spins but for me it was the amount of money that I am willing to put in or afford to lose.

There are times where I found the numbers that I am looking for and I still not reached my gambling limit so I continue playing the normal way. I don't have to worry because I already have a prize to get later on.
