I am more of a hit and run type when I play. Those who hunt for bigger rewards are probably the same people who are either take gambling too seriously or addicted to gambling.
It is true, the addict are the ones that will keep playing after making some profit until maybe they lose all. I don't play like that, if I make profit I leave, maybe I'm also the class of hit and run.
Enjoy the winnings before you lose it all for going after bigger rewards
If playing with friends, just give them something like a snack so they won't feel bad from you taking away their money.
