<div class="bbWrapper">hey guys,<br /> <br /> i just would like to know how your gambling habits are?<br /> <br /> 1. How often do you play a week? / How many deposits? <br /> 2. On what point do you cash out?<br /> 3. How strong do you behave when you reached the limit you gave yourself? Is it easy for you to stay strong?<br /> <br /> i&#039;m just curious how you guys manage it <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/smile.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /> i totally have it under control moneywise, still sometimes i could have win more if i would stricly stopped when i reached my self-defined limits, but espcially if i win i tend to deposit more and more again <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/smile.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /> <br /> <br /> most of the time if i don&#039;t win really huge i end up using all my wins for gambling again... and i&#039;m still looking for advice how to optimize my habits <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/smile.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":)" title="Smile :)" data-shortname=":)" /><br /> <br /> cheers</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">1: I play everyday. Deposits vary but maybe average 1 a week. Always with a bonus unless playing video poker.<br /> <br /> 2: Always cash out as soon as my bonus playthrough is finished and am up at least 100 dollars.<br /> <br /> 3: I am VERY disiplined gambler. Have never cancelled a withdrawl or took any of the money back to play with. I have a plan with every deposit and stick to it 100%. I can deposit and play whenever I want as I have no financial commitments. However if I am having a bad month I will stop for awhile and...GO TO VEGAS!!</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">1) Normally once a week, sometimes maybe up to 3 times varying on good of a week I&#039;ve had bartending, normally I limit myself to at most a $50 deposit per round. Mainly because I don&#039;t want to bet large and end up hurting later on in the week.<br /> Normally play with a bonus, unless if the bonuses are beating me up, then of course I&#039;ll play with a straight deposit.<br /> 2) When I&#039;ve reached at least $500.00. Mainly because I want the $15.00 bank fee to be worth the cashing out.<br /> 3) Once I&#039;ve reached my limit, I treat that as a second pay day. Why? Because obviously a $500.00 off of $50 is a pretty good profit. So I just wait patiently for the cashout process to work it&#039;s magic. The only time I get impatient is around the holidays. Mainly there always seems to be some sort of delay that causes cashouts to take an extra week or two.</div>

Too often / Too many<br /> 2. Pfffffft.<br /> 3. I am weak. What I need is for a maniac to come through the door, slam me into some handcuffs and leave me chained to the radiator for a week. Then I might see this thing we call &quot;cash out&quot;.</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I now deposit regularly at only a few casinos; 32Red, Betsson group, RedBet.<br /> I play at these casinos because they either pay out instantly (process), and/or they flush withdrawals so it keeps me honest <img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/wink.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=";)" title="Wink ;)" data-shortname=";)" /><br /> I tend to withdraw when I&#039;m winning comfortably, but I don&#039;t really set targets as such.</div>

I play almost everyday - Deposits vary on whether I&#039;m winning or losing. I could make up to 10 deposits or more in a day. It depends on each session. Sometimes I may not need to and I keep going on a deposit or two. Tiny deposits at RTG and Bigger ones at MG and Netent. <br /> <br /> 2. I cash out once I make wagering or go ahead a decent amount. Decent may be defined as how much money I have left in Neteller for my next session<img src="/forums/styles/default/casinomeister/smilies/tongue.gif" class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":p" title="Stick Out Tongue :p" data-shortname=":p" />. If I had a BIG Hit and Neteller is sitting pretty, I usually try to hit the $1000 mark or higher. If not, 300 - 500 is good enough. It also depends if I&#039;m going apeshit or low rolling. I am MORE disciplined when low rolling and cash out faster. When I start to up my bets, my expectations are bigger and thus targets are higher. <br /> <br /> 3. If I reach the limit - It depends on WHICH limit - If its my limit on how much I spend, I may just consider a deposit or two depending on how much I actually want to play. Limits in terms of withdrawals depends on how much I put in. If things are going sour then I tend to try and break even or come out just ahead to withdraw. If not a few hundred will do these days. I can&#039;t count how many times I have been ahead and tried to play another Slot for a few spins and ended up losing the lot. I always think to myself - $200 is better than NOTHING.<br /> <br /> I used to play much bigger back in the day. The Irony is that I would always have huge balances but never cash out. Now ... I don&#039;t have very huge balances unless I&#039;m lucky on DOA and I&#039;m MORE disciplined to cash out BUT it just seems harder to get ahead. <br /> <br /> Nate</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I play on average every other day and have a simple philosophy.I only play slots if there is a bonus on offer and if i manage to acheive the wagering requirement and am showing a profit,then i cash out,even if that profit is tiny.I just find there is a great deal of satisfaction in making the wagering even if the actual monetary gain is only a few pounds.I also play blackjack and set a target of doubling my deposit,will usually deposit £50 and either cash out at £100 or lose the lot.<br /> Never had a problem with being tempted to reverse but try to stick to places with no reverse time or only a few hours.Then i can play late at night,go to bed knowing that the following morning there is no opportunity to give it all back.</div>

Everyday. I get bored so I like to play. Plus I don&#039;t smoke or have any other vice (except for maybe drinking on the weekends) so I&#039;m able to put more money towards gaming. Otherwise I&#039;d be dividing money between two vices which would leave less for gaming.<br /> <br /> 2. That depends allot on how the session has treated me and the amount of my original deposit. I&#039;ve learnt to cash-out anything above $200 on RTG. I generally cash out anything over $300 on MG or Netent.<br /> <br /> 3. Very strong. There&#039;s just been to many times where I&#039;ve tried to reach an even number (say $200) and I&#039;ve lost the whole lot over $5. The times when I decide I&#039;m going to keep playing I tend to increase the amount I&#039;m betting.</div>

Every day (pretty much). Deposits vary depending on if I have any available funds already in any accounts, but average about twice per week.<br /> 2. When I have a decent profit (more than 2x deposit) after a good run and feel my luck has run out. Or, if I&#039;m playing a bonus, shortly after meeting the WR if I&#039;ve made a profit. If not, will play on to get even or bust out.<br /> 3. Yes, easy to stay strong. I have never reversed a withdrawal, though I have occasionally stopped playing intending to cash-out later, then gone back &amp; played on.<br /> <br /> KK</div>
 
<div class="bbWrapper">I withdraw instantly after I meet wagering. Taking bonuses even if not always beneficial to they player in terms of max profit, can be a very good way of keeping yourself in control.<br /> <br /> If not playing with a bonus I&#039;ll be happy to double my deposit. I feel that reverse withdrawals are predatory therefore I don&#039;t do them as a matter of principle. If I really want to play I&#039;ll just deposit elsewhere. People are happy to reverse €200 and gamble, but would they be so inclined to make a fresh €200 deposit and gamble it away?</div>
