When to stop: a plus exit strategy


1) Base: why "going to plus" is about discipline, not about guessing

In EV slots <0 (RTP <100%), so as the session length grows, the total tends to wait.
The probability of closing a session in plus is higher at short distances and falls with an increase in the number of spins.
Therefore, "exit to plus" is the rules of stopping and fixing with a favorable deviation, and not "wait until it gives more."

2) Three whales: target, stop loss, stop wine

We set it to the first spin and do not change it in the process.

Target (T): + 30-100% to the bank of the session (select by volatility).
Stop loss (SL): − 20-40% of the starting bank of the session.
Stop wines (SW): profit taking level; exit immediately upon reaching.

Volatility benchmarks:
  • Low: SL 20-25%, T/SW + 30-50%.
  • Average: SL 25-35%, T/SW + 40-70%.
  • High/Bonus Buy: SL 30-40%, T/SW + 60-100%.

3) Trailing profit: how to "not give everything back"

The rule of "trailing" (moving stop wines):
  • 1. Reached peak P (earnings from the start of the session).
  • 2. We fix Trailing SW = max (T, k· P), where k = 50-70%.
  • 3. When rolling back below Trailing SW - output.

Example: + 50 target. Reached + 120 → Trailing SW = max (50, 0.6 × 120 = 72). Rollback to + 72 - output with fixed + 72.

4) "Two wallets": safe fixation technique

When reaching SW or major drift:
  • Profit Lock = 50-80% of the current profit is transferred offside (wallet/withdrawal/separate account).
  • The remainder can be recouped before Trailing SW. Profit Lock do not touch.

5) Time - also stop

Session time limit: 30-90 minutes. Alarm clock/" Reality Check" in the account is required.
A timer came out → exit, even if "about a bonus." Time directly multiplies the expected consumption:
  • $$
  • \ text {Wait/hour }\approachext {bid }imesext {spin/hour }imes (1 -ext {RTP})
  • $$

6) Transition between slots: when and how

We change the slot if one of:
  • 3 "weak" bonuses in a row (below × 10- × 20 for your slot) - a sign of a "hard base" in the variance window.
  • BF (spin/bonus) in your log exceeded by 50% + in the current window.
  • Drawdown has reached SL/2 and no progress/meters → slot change or pause.

Important: changing the slot - risk/pace management, not "hot search."

7) Adjustment for mechanics

Megaways/Cascading with Progress Cartoon

Aim for short/medium runs, 0.3-1% bank rate, T/SW higher (60-100%).
We fix the profit immediately after the "long ladder" in the bonus - the probability of repetition is small.

Hold & Win

The profile is flatter: the rate is 1-1.5% of the bank, T/SW 40-60%.
No upgrades/jackpots - do not pull after a series of mini-rounds, fixing at the first adequate peak.

Bonus Buy Sessions

We play in series of 5-10 purchases.
Unit Risk: 0.5-1% bank/purchase (high vol), 1-2% (moderate vol).
SW per batch: + 50-100% batch; SL series: − 20-35% of its budget. Reached - stop/break.

8) Special cases where stopping is especially beneficial

A) Bezep/freespins without vager

Any plus → full fixation (100%). It makes no sense to continue in the same call.

B) Wager/wagering

Do not exceed max T & Cs bid.
Draw partial conclusions at each major peak (if allowed).
Plan: play in blocks in time; at the end of the block - fixing the current profit, pause.

C) Progressive/Must Drop

If the plus is received without taking the jackpot and the pool is no longer extreme, the way out is better.
Exception: Must Drop "on deadline" (hour/amount) - set separate SL/SW in advance for this hunt.

9) Out-of-the-box rule templates (copy and use)

Even grind template

Rate: 1% of the bank; Time: 60 min; Slot: Average volatility.
SL −25%, SW +50%; Trailing SW = 60% of peak.
3 weak bonuses in a row → slot change.
Profit Lock 60% at the first peak ≥ + 40%.

Skid Hunt Template

Rate: 0.5% bank; Slot: High ox/multi.
SL −35–40%, SW +80–100%; Trailing SW 50%.
Any bonus ≥ × 200 → instant fixation of ≥70% profit and exit/pause.

Bonus Buy Session Template

Series budget: 100 × purchase price.
Unit Risk: 1% bank/buy (moderate vol).
SL batches − 25-30%; SW series + 60-100%; after the peak - Trailing SW 60%.

10) "Get up and get out" threshold signals

SW or Trailing SW reached.
Session time is up.
SL/time limit violated - we terminate today.
Emotional triggers: the desire to "recoup," a sharp change in rates, violations of their rules → a pause of at least 24 hours.

11) Self-control tools (turn on right in the casino)

Reality Check/Session limit/Loss limit/Deposit limit in the account.
Profit/loss hitchhiking (if available).
Timer, notes, reminder every 15-30 minutes.
Separate wallets: "game" and "output," instant output Profit Lock.

12) Frequent errors that kill the "exit to plus"

Shift SW "to just a little bit more" and give everything back.
Raise the rate "because there was a series of empty" (dogon).
Ignore time limit.
Do not record part of the profit after a major hit.
Change the rules on the fly.
Play on a high will bet> 1% of the bank.

13) Quick calculations (help not to "overheat" the session)

Wait/hour: × spin rate/hour × (1 − RTP).
Required bank for the slot:
  • Low ox: ≥ 200-300 bets; average: ≥ 300-500; high: ≥ 500-1000.
  • Target Choice T: The higher the volatility, the higher the T (and the tougher the Trailing SW).

14) Mini-session log (keep for 1-2 minutes)

Slot/rate/RTP (operator): .../.../...%
Target/SL/SW: .../.../...
Start/end time: .../...
Bottom line: +... (in bets)Peak: +...Profit Lock:...
Compliance: Yes/NoOutput:...
The magazine makes behavior stable and "cuts off" improvisations.

Conclusion

The plus strategy is pre-prescribed SW/SL/time, trailing profit and Profit Lock, tailored to the volatility and format of the game. The exit is made automatically by the trigger (target/trail/time/SL), and not by sensation. Such a protocol does not change RTP, but it increases the share of sessions closed in positive territory and protects what is earned from going back - exactly what distinguishes discipline from hope.
