when you deposit money into a gambling site to play, for example, x amount, how many "x" is enough for you to cash out? do you have a specific amount that makes it worth it for you, or do you just go with your gut?

for example, when i reach about twice the amount i deposited, i usually find it enough and walk away without pushing my luck too much. doubling your money in gambling isn’t that easy anyway. i think most people have a similar goal around this level.

and lastly, do you ever cash out while in the red? when things go bad, do you sometimes take out less than your initial deposit, thinking, "it's better than nothing"?

I always wait for a good amount before I cash out in the past but I don't do it any longer because it was a battle for me, I feel tempted easily when I have a balance that is more than what I specifically use for gambling.

Even if all I win is $10 I will cash out, I believe I am helping myself in doing so, I won't be able to feel like risking some more money after I hit my threshold, what you get used to is what you will always do to yourself, it's better to get used to a better habit.

A win is good enough for me, either the amount is small or big, I don't struggle to take such decision because this is the only way that works best for me, everything else failed me.

I have had some bitter experiences in gambling where despite winning, there was no opportunity to properly use the winning money. Although there is no opportunity to blame others for the failure. Withdrawing the winning money as soon as possible is certainly a logical thought. Those of us who do not withdraw the money after winning but keep it in the wallet and bet again with that money, if we lose, we are disappointed. That disappointment also has a major negative effect on alternative bets. And if we can withdraw the winning money and are able to use or enjoy that money properly, then we can be better off on both sides. That is why I try to withdraw the money quickly after winning a bet. But in this case, my point is that I set a level of winning. If the winning amount is at that level according to my expectation, I withdraw the money at that time.
