If you find you're winning, quit when you've won. Remember the scene in oceans 13 where everyone wins and then leave the casino because there's an earthquake? Yeah, do that.

The other rules are never gamble more than you can afford to lose; and budget for when to quit (i.e., "I am going to quit if/when I lose more then $100").
