Method.
My OCD is worse!, at one time I would only cash out large round figures. Now I will use a round figure of £100 or even £50 on cash outs, and I will set a lower limit after a big win at which point I should stop and cash out while still having much of the big win to hand. The only remaining problem with this method is managing to notice that I have reached the point where I should cash out.
Adrenaline is also a big problem; its presence clouds the judgement. I have lost back far more of my really gargantuan winning streaks than I should have by thinking of it as free money of less value than a fresh deposit. This is often down to betting bigger, having an even bigger win, and then suddenly hitting a downward streak on those big bets.
With enough discipline, winning online should be easy, but casinos do their best to make it easy for players to forget themselves.
One great trick is a big carrot for playing longer. This can be higher status, enhanced loyalty points, or a wager tournament.
Until recently, Jackpot Factory were inept at designing profitable tournaments, sadly though, they have learnt the error of their ways and have not run a "sitting duck" wager tournament for months!
Without promotions, I tend to play certain games first to look for an early big hit. This will be VP, or 3 card poker (with pair+ sidebet). Also, some spins on good bonus slots is worthwhile. If I hit big, I will sometimes cash-out at the end of the day, or I will use the funds for an upcoming tournament.
With promotions, I will plan ahead to ensure that I have enough funding to take up the best ones. This means playing where cash-ins are processed really fast, or not playing at all with funds I know to be needed.
I have identified a small number of promotions that offer a +EV in the long term, and these are always top priority and rarely missed.
