Personally, I find it harder to quit when I'm winning. Greed will be constant to many of us and it takes strong self-discipline to over come it. One reason why I think quitting when you're in loss is easier, is because of financial limitations wherein you will come to a point that you no longer have an amount to gamble forcing you to quit. Unlike with when you are winning, basically you have enough margin to continue and not to mention the idea that you could bet for more because you might be lucky that time and such thing does not happen on a daily basis. Fortunately I managed to cope up with greed. I now track my win-loss data to help me be consistent with monitoring the money I am engaging in gambling activities.

Well, for sure it is not the same to all of us. Some people will be doing anything to continue despite of loss and due to frustrations, however, the reaosn why many gamblers are in loss is because they lack control of oneself to secure profit at least if you have the game for that day.

When greed kicks in, then this is the moment that you would really be finding yourself having that kind of situation on which you have made your small capital into big ones because of winning or simply being lucky then on that particular point you would really be thinking about having that luck all the way on that point on which having those thoughts or feelings that you could really be able to do
such thing when it comes to winning up the game even further and making those balance way more bigger on which you had already that anticipated. If you would be able to make it big then good for you
because luck is on your side on that point but majority will really be busting all of those winnings back into the casino on which this one would really be leading up into such huge regret on the moment that you will really be losing up.

I know that as gamblers, everyone can relate to this question, as we have surely experienced it in real situations.

Suppose our bankroll is $100 and it has already grown to $500, would you quit or continue? Conversely, if with our bankroll, we are down to $10, would you still continue or save the remaining $10? I used specific amounts to make it easier to discuss this situation. I understand that we all gamble with different amounts based on our income, but consider this as an example. You can mention any amount you want based on your personal experience; it doesn't matter.

It's easier for people to stop gambling after losing a lot, especially after playing for years, destroying their lives and falling into addiction. In most cases, people stop playing forever only when they have lost everything and no longer have the money to continue playing. These are very small cases in which people play and even though they have the money to continue playing they manage to say: "tomorrow I'm going to stop playing forever" and tomorrow arrives and they actually stop playing and are fine with that decision. In these cases, it shows that the person had not reached the stage of becoming dependent on gambling

When people win a lot of money gambling, the tendency of most people will be to continue playing and then lose everything. This happens to people who play slots, sports betting, all card games. only people who participate in lotteries and when they hit the jackpot and become rich they immediately stop playing forever, but in most cases they spend all their money on nonsense and become poor and then go back to buying lottery tickets and never win again

Well, for me, I have my own rules or discipline, so for example, if I have a capital of $100 and at some point I am playing gambling and I notice that I have already won an amount double my initial capital or more than my capital, let's say $500 as an OP example, then I would stop from there. Why? Because I already doubled my capital, but in some cases, if I still want to enjoy playing, then I will keep the $200 safe and secure it, making sure that I will not use it to gamble again, and the remaining $300 will be the funds that I will use to gamble more, so no matter what happens to that, I will not regret it. That's it. But if, of course, I'm losing, and I notice that I only have $10 left, I will still use it or gamble it, because, as I said, whenever I play gambling, I have specific funds to use, and if I lose it or double it, that's it—nothing more, nothing less.

The choice most time can be hard to make. Though as a gambler we should be able to make good choices that would help us reduce our risk of losing. Our Choice would determine how far we will win or lose.if for any reason you have made more profit from what you have deposited initially, then you might be wise enough to withdraw. You might consider continuing but you have to make good strategy before going on. You might also stop after making lose. Most time gamblers becomes greedy and may want to keep playing which eventually will lead them to loss.

You know, choices can only be hard to make if you don’t stick to your goal. If you are seeing already a huge profits on your bankroll, then there’s no reason anymore to gamble more because that will only make you prone of losing your profits and return to the casino. Don’t be too greedy when it comes to money, otherwise you will only get the reverse of it. Instead, be contented even with not so big profits, remember that gambling cannot guarantee winning at all times, you’re even lucky if you already made a good amount.

Sometimes, it’s easy to just quit when you are still winning compared to when you’re seeing your money being used up. At least, you don’t go home with empty pocket, and if you plan to gamble more, you can do it in some other time when you think you’ll be lucky again.

in this situation, for me, it'll be easier to quit if my bankroll is down to $10. my logic with this would be, that it is not my day and I need to have a break and I can just use the remaining balance the next time I am going to gamble. on the other hand, if my bankroll has increased from $100 to $500 my mindset would be, that it is probably my day and I would probably continue gambling and further try my luck, that being said, I don't plan on gambling all my winnings away.

The temptation to continue playing after winning is more real and stronger than when you lose.

There are at least two supporting factors that make me choose to stop when I experience defeat. The first factor is because I run out of capital to place another bet, and the second factor is because losing requires me to feel pessimistic that the next bet will go well and make a profit. Although sometimes losing can make us even more curious about gambling so we choose to continue playing and look for additional capital to bet. However, I was still able to restrain myself from continuing the game, because for me losing was a bad sign.

Meanwhile, when I won, to be honest, I found it quite difficult to decide to stop gambling. Because the temptation I received was so strong, apart from making me more curious, it also made me more confident in continuing the game, because I often thought that victory and luck were on my side. And to prevent that from happening, I always ask for help from those closest to me to accompany me in playing, so that if I get out of control when I win, there are my friends who try to make me aware of that behavior.

Idk, if I'm having fun I'd continue. But if I'm satisfied, I'll stop and have fun with that $500 in my next session. I've always said that I leave the money I win in the casino for my next session usually, rarely do I actually withdraw it. It's usually a minus to my usual bankroll deposit and in this case, that's like 5 more sessions of me not having to deposit! Sounds like a win.

As for the $10 one, hell yea why not. I can probably play quite a few with it still. Probably wouldn't last more than 10 minutes but hey, good enough for me.

I don't quit when I'm in a profit rather I take profit, let say I have made $500 , why would I quit? But I will take $400 off the table and continue to bet with the remaining $100 ,then when I'm down $10 the funds is already finished ,I will only call it a day the moment I have lost the entire money, because that $10 could possibly revive me into being in profit, so letting go that moment no longer make sense to me because it as much as losing the entire funds.

Well for me I think it's always easier to quit when you are at a win than when you are losing because from all my experience as a gambler and I feel lots of gamblers too can relate to this, it's better than to actually have a target to reach when the winning spree starts and when that targets reach you simply quite and leave because if you don't you will definitely encounter the opposite and that time it's a lot harder to quit.

For me it will be more hard to stop when I am getting succeed it something, than to stop from chasing losses. It will be banal greed that will always push me to continue. I am surprised that people say it is easier to quit when you are winning, as there is often not enough. Cant believe someone will really stop and withdraw, when he has caught luck and winning all the time.

If you are on such condition on which you are on the winning side then it is really that actually hard if we do speak about quitting on that particular point or simply midway on your gambling session.
On the moment that you are on winning condition then pretty sure you would really be that thinking that you should really be that playing more to make more. This is where most gamblers do end up on losing those winnings all back into the casino on which they do really believe on that they could really be still able to make money or further winnings. Quitting would really be that most likely to happen on the moment that you cant literally be able to play just because you dont have money anymore. Somehow there are some individuals or those gamblers who are wary on such condition on which they would really be able to make some withdrawal and buying up with those winnings on which i could say that this is something that more better or pretty good.

Don't let others control your BTC -> self custody

It's much easier to stop when you're winning. Most people have a goal when they start to gamble and they have some ideas of what they'd spend the money on. When they double it, it's already enough for many people, but OP gave an example of going to $500 from $100, so that would make most people quit, or partially quit, withdrawing $400 and leaving the last $100 to check if the luck is still there and they can squeeze out more. IN my case I'd play it safe and withdraw at least $450 and leave $50 for another bet when I'm in the mood.
When you're down to $10 most people will say fuck it, saving $10 won't make losing $90 any easier Wink

Suppose our bankroll is $100 and it has already grown to $500, would you quit or continue?

If my bankroll is $100 and I have been able to grow it to $500, then I am going to take my profit and leave the remaining $100, and then I will start working on how I am going to grow that again. But if I'm honest, it’s easier said than done. Most people will say if they have been able to win such an amount, they will stop gambling, but they won’t really stop, they will want to keep on growing it till some of them lose everything back.

When gambling and winning seriously, it’s always difficult to stop gambling because you will be motivated to keep on gambling because you will want to win more, which is mostly a trap. You might end up losing everything you have won back if you don’t stop gambling at the appropriate time. Don’t be too happy when you are winning because you will be carried away.

I find quitting when losing extremely easy, after all I understand the nature of gambling and probabilities, so I know that if keep gambling during this session chances are that I will keep losing money, so I never had any problems when quitting under those circumstances, however quitting when you are ahead is way more difficult, as at the time you are feeling great and the last thing you want to do is for that feeling to go away, making you to gamble for a period of time longer than what you expected, and which it may allow a casino to recover some of the most it has lost so far to you.

An interesting topic and a similar topic has already been posted here somewhere. I think this is a very individual process, but I’ll tell you about myself. I have a lot more to carry on when I lose money than when I win. Following your example, I will say that when I have 10 dollars left out of 100, it will be much more difficult to stop and save them than when there are 500 left after 100. When I win, I can pause, withdraw some of the money and calmly continue. When I lose, everything happens the other way around

Personally, turning a hundred bucks into five hundred feels like I won the dang lottery. Heck yeah Id cash out then and there with a big, dumb grin on my face. That would cover a real nice date night with my girl or a bunch of rounds at the bar with my buddies and i Im not gonna lie though, it would be real tempting to keep playing and chase more of that sweet winning feeling. It is smart to quit while Im ahead and feel good about scoring such a major come-up.

Now on the other hand, if I somehow pissed away five hundred bucks and was left with just a sawbuck in my pocket? Well now we got some trouble. I know all the experts say to just take the loss and walk away at that point. And they are probably right. But if Im being honest, Id have a hard time not trying to win back what I lost. Call it dumb pride or whatever, but it is easier said than done to fold when you are that far in the hole. Maybe I got a problem heh. Anyway, chasing losses usually aint too smart, but its tough not to.

I think everything depends on how discipline are you with gambling and smart you are with gambling. The smart ones knows that you can't win continuesly in gambling, there will come a time when you will win like you are the special person in gambling and a time that will come when you will look as if you are the worst person that ever gamble in the world. If you win a game back to back and you noticed you have started losing like two times in row, it's a signal to quit and similarly when you notice the same thing in loss.

When in gambling, my focus is always how to maximize my initial bankroll and reduce anything that will bring loss, so I don't think anyone need to be told when to exit the gambling, only a greedy person will continue to play after winning a lot and doesn't read the warnings and only a careless gambler will continue to play when there is signs that the loss is high losses.

Regarding this question i will answers based on my personal experience while gamble that i personally can says from these situations it's equally hard to be decided because the situation will be very different and when i was in a lucky position and won big usually greed lead me to gamble more because i was curious how much money i can win if i am lucky even so when in a losing position because usually i will be very curious too can reversed my loses although if i was continue to gamble then usually it will end up with lost all of my money but maybe it will be different if sometimes i starting to gamble to targetting the particular profit because if i have already feel like i have reached the target i want then i would stop but it's rare to happend to me targetting any profit while gamble because usually if i want to start gamble then i will try to enjoy the game

Quiting gambling when winning is a very hard task for most gamblers and that's also applicable when they're losing. When a gambler is winning, there's this inner belief that strongly tells him to continue gambling because it'll not be easy to get such moment again and when most gamblers are losing, they do have this mindset that they'll bounce back and win huge later which why why for gambler to be successful, he must very disciplined in other not to allow his greedy for more winnings or his resistance to accept the bad days he losses to determine how he makes vital decisions.
Fir me, whenever I'm gambling, I first of all set a target of what amount I can win up to of which I quit immediately I get to my target and I also set a certain target of what amount I can lose at the end of my gambling section of which I also quit if I lose to that benchmark that's been set already.

For me, it is easier to stop when I win. When I win, I usually stop immediately and save the profits I get from the win. Although sometimes there is a desire to continue playing and want to double the win, this is easier to control so that it can be managed. But it is very difficult for me to stop when I lose. Because every time I experience a loss, I am always motivated to return the loss so that it does not become a loss, more like revenge. And unconsciously I do it over and over again so that sometimes it deepens the defeat I experience.
