When do you decide it's time to cashout ?

Please share your cashout trigger tips.

In my case, when I make a good profit at Blackjack, say 4x deposit, I reduce my bet size and setup a running count which starts at zero, increases when I lose and decreases at every win down to a minimum of zero. If the count ever reaches 3 then I immediately go to the cashier to request a withdrawal. I feel this system lets me test if there is any more "luck" for me in the current gaming session

I'd be hanging out and PM -ing posters on the winning screenshot thread

All serious strategic gamers have ebbs and flows, what seperates the winner is the ability to touch the cashout button. Sometimes walking away is the best strategy.

Looks like you have it!

once i've cleared the wr!! doing any betting after that is pointless, and chasing that last twenty or fifty bucks to make a round cashout figure has cost me enough to now stop as soon as i know i'm clear of playthrough requirements. rarely do i play without bonus; i haven't really just got money to throw away. if i wanted to play without bonus i'd go to a live casino.

As a devout bonus-hustler, I've got a few rules:

1) If there is a wagering requirement, when I've finished it, except:
a) If there is any amount amount of money I will not be able to keep due to a max cashout, I will then fart around on various games until I reach that max cashout amount.
b) If I have a few cents that I will not be able to withdraw, I will blow those on a slot.

2) If there is not a wagering requirement, I generally cashout if I have tripled my starting. For sticky/phantom bonuses, I would reap theoretically more profit by setting a higher standard, like quadding the chipcount, but that gets a little too high variance for my taste.

3) Sometimes, after a big win, I'll go ahead and blow a few bucks (like, $50 out of $1000) on a shiny slot or a goofy parlor game like red dog. I set a specific chipcount I want to burn down to, and stop there. I haven't had the privilege of hitting a ridiculous win while "wasting time" like this.
