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’d take the $500 and go thank you

i am not one to keep myself bleeding down to the last cent if i notice my money decreasing and not getting any profit then i would take that as a sign to stop and take my money to put into better things that could potentially give me profit instead
That's how it should be. If you're in profit, be contented so just quit. However, not all gamblers are able to do this because of their greed to gain more. The reason why it's much easier to stop once your bankroll is slowly decreasing. Because that's the time you'll feel a regret for losing your money in gambling instead of spending it into other things. Thus, it is likely you will save what's left before it's too late.

Feeling satisfied with the amount you have managed to get is one solution to avoid greed, but yes, however, as you said, it is an action that is easy to say but difficult to do, because the majority of gamblers always find it difficult to ignore greed in their lives. this situation, and I would say that one of the reasons why many gamblers find it difficult to ignore the greed in themselves is because the object of winning in gambling is money, in the sense that if there is no chance of winning involved in gambling then it is unlikely for a gambler to apply greed .

On the other hand, I'm not sure that a gambler will be able to easily stop when they see that there is a reduction in the balance in their gambling account due to losing, but yes, for some people, maybe stopping in this situation can be done, but only a small part of them, because Most gamblers always find it difficult to accept the fact that they have lost so they get emotional and use another portion of their remaining balance to catch up on previous losses, meaning that overall I think a gambler is more likely to stop when they run out of all their money at that time.
