Amount Deposited & Amount Reached For Cash-out - What Is YOUR Threshold?

[X-Raided]

Maybe this question has been asked in the past by another
CM member, but, maybe your limits have now changed since.

The question is... How much would you deposit and what amount
do you have to reach in order to make a cash-out?

I made a foolish mistake tonight by depositing $20 at Jackpot
Capital, getting to $260 and not cashing out. Lost it all playing
Mayan Queen

Anyways, I OBVIOUSLY need discipline...

So, what do you deposit and what is your amount needed to
be reached in order for you to make a successful cash-out?

I'm usually happy to double what I put in, unless I deposit less than $50, then I'll try to get over $100 before cashing out.

I've made the same mistake as you mentioned a few times, and now I would have forced myself to cash out at $200 in that situation. Just keep telling yourself you're more likely to lose it all than get back to $260 if you keep going, and cashing out 10x your deposit ain't so bad.

Usually when I get over the threshold that I set, and I haven't had too many beers, I'll cash out what I want and leave some to keep playing.

I'm realistic, if I have the playthrough done, I always cashout when I have 2,3 X deposit.
If I hit something big, I always cashout 90% and leave few $ in my account for low betting

I usually play with a bonus, and I cash out when the WR is cleared.

I usually deposit 25-35 and if I can turn that into 100 or more, I'm happy.
Just turned my 35.- deposit at Purple Lounge into a 225.- withdrawl after getting as low as 4.- at one point.

I've played many high balances back in the past, and I always felt so horrible, its even worse than just losing a deposit, I just dont want that anymore.

Ofcourse you can always win more, but believe me, you'll never ever regret a cashout!

I now much rather deposit somewhere else (with a new bonus to clear).

Hey De Beuker what are you doing, that was my reply
In fact that's exactly what I do and how I feel about it, so thank you :notworthy

Mayan Queen

Mayan Queen can be a bitch :sniper:
In retrospect you feel you made a stupid mistake but you could also have been lucky
If I got $260 from a $20 deposit playing a bonus, wagering low ($1.25 and below I don't know if that is what you do?)
I would probably cash-out because in my experience at that point you will probably run out of luck. If I choose not to cash out at that point I would set a limit, f x I will risk $60 but no more, then I will cash-out.

But then it also depends on how you approach it when playing a bonus.
Either you can deposit a small amount, bet low and hope for a cash-out maybe 10x, if you're lucky and you're happy with that, you got a lot of playing time
or deposit a small amount, bet higher and hope that you can turn it into something even better, and have no regrets if you lose and don't get much playing time

I made a foolish mistake as well at Go Wild on monday. I Deposited £60 won £1200 and lost the lot. Luckily I have just tried again now. Deposited £110 and I have a £1100 withdrawal pending. The casino has been unisntalled while I wait for the 24 hour pendng period to pass.

The problem we as gamblers have is that pending cashout thing most casinos seem to have. I find the best thing to do is withdraw ALL your money. No leaving £50 there to play later. Cuz you will logon, lose the £50 and then start reversing. By the time you know it, theres nothing left. Cue a sleepless night and crappy next day.

Then again at River Belle 3 weeks ago I reversed a £500 withdrawal and managed to get this up to £3000. Thats the crazy world of gambling.

 

[X-Raided]

As I expected, you guys will withdraw when your up from your
initial deposit at least 5X-10X.

I think I should do that...

Here is my dilemma though, I'm really stubborn when it
comes to withdrawing small amounts because of the waiting
period that I have to endure when doing a withdraw.

In my mind, if I deposit $40 and run my balance up to $200,
my brain loses logical thinking functions. I'll start thinking
that $200 is just to minimal of an amount to wait 2-6 days
(including weekends) to withdraw. My threshold has now become
$600 and over. I've made numerous successful withdraws doing it
this way and have also lost a fortune.

Casinos that offer numerous slot selections, (unlike 3Dice) are
easy to run up your balance by bouncing around from slot to slot.

But I'm thinking that if I have enough in my QT account, play at
one casino, withdraw, play at another, withdraw and watch my
QT balance grow after a week, I should be better off.

 

[petro]

Somewhere between 75%-100% of my deposit is my normal goal.
That is; if I would deposit $100 I would be aiming for a $175-$200 cashout.

I would say the lower you set your goal the more cashouts you will get.

Ok, again I would say it depends on your playing pattern. If you constantly bet $1.25 or less, I doubt that your QT balance would grow week after week.
Maybe for some period of time.

I make that assumption based on my own experience, playing like this for a couple of years (bouncing around from slot to slot) on a daily basis for countless hours at different casinos. I keep myself entertained and my stats are on + but not much.

But if you have a different playing pattern, let's say you're on a winning streak and decide to increase your bet to $5 or $10, then it could possibly make a big difference.
F x you've been lucky and decide to play Mayan Queen at 25 lines $5 a bet and you hit 4 emeralds and the queen, (sorry it's just an example I remembered well) then you would get $5 x 1000 and that would make a big difference.
If you bet higher you are of course also more likely to hit a random jackpot. If you play Jackpot Cleopatras Gold and hit that (yes I know not likely) then that would make a huge difference.

Everything is possible of course, just wanted to share my experiences.

Good luck!

I usually deposit between $25-$50 and take no bonusses. My cashout is depending on the casino.

For Example: I like 3Dice, but normally i will cashout around $100-$150. I just got the feeling i don't get any higher than that.

At PartyCasino (still my favorite), i never cashout less than $200, regardless my deposit. Actually i just cashed out $400 on my $30 deposit a few moment ago, only took me 15 minutes

At MGS i normally cashout at about €/$100 at a €/$25 deposit.

What do you guys do cashout every time you play? sounds like it. whats a threshold?

 

[weplant]

Boy you guys sound very disciplined...I usually deposit at least 50..00, typically will not take a bonus..I will never cashout below 200.00 and only then when I am behaving..I typically try to get to at 300.00 or so take out 200.00 then play with the remaining 100.00..Of course I have gotten up to 300.00 and being the slot junkie I am, I am sure I will be able to get it up to 500.00 and procede to watch it all disappear...

What do you guys do cashout every time you play? sounds like it. whats a threshold?

thresh·old noun \ˈthresh-ˌhōld, ˈthre-ˌshōld\
Definition of THRESHOLD

1
: the plank, stone, or piece of timber that lies under a door : sill
2
a : gate, door
b (1) : end, boundary; specifically : the end of a runway (2) : the place or point of entering or beginning : outset <on the threshold of a new age>
3
a : the point at which a physiological or psychological effect begins to be produced <has a high threshold for pain>
b : a level, point, or value above which something is true or will take place and below which it is not or will not

Also, I just checked my stats; besides 3dice, where I won a RJP, I have zero cashouts that were not max cashout situtations in this lovely year, 2011. I think I need to only enter max cashout situations. For reals.

@Weplant: don;t feel bad, add zeros to ur numbers, and I have done that many times just in the past year... I also have had huge hits as a result, but all in all, knowing when to say when is the casinos best friend. Besides these disciplined posts from seasoned gamblers here at CM, I know few ppl who can constistently avoid the betrayal of their predetermined thresholds. From time to time we all let one go that was on the hook! Chin Up! 3mpty Out!

 

[vinylweatherman]

I tend to go for a decent run, rather than cash out small gains. I keep in mind a "floor" value, and consider that reaching this means my lucky streak is over, and I cash out, and ALL OF IT. I do NOT return & reverse, and if I feel like some more play, it happens in a DIFFERENT casino, and from a fresh deposit.

I had a run back to £4400 at Grand Mondial a couple of days ago, and it is reversible all weekend, but this will NOT be happening. I have £800 left in my Neteller, and this is the ONLY funds available until my £4400 gets paid, most likely on Tuesday.

Until then, this £800 will be all that is available should I feel like having another go, and it will be deposited anywhere BUT Grand Mondial.

Yep I'm like Weplant. I tend to desposit between $50 and $100 (depending how rich I am at the time ). I tend to start thinking of withdrawing at the $300.00 mark. Like Weplant says I will likely withdraw $250 - 300 but leave some in for further gambling. Sometimes it works (I'll win a bit more and hit the threshold again). Other times I lose and reverse some (or all) of my withdrawal mad,
