Press a Bet

1 min read

Adding the winnings over the current bet, to ‘let it ride’. 

"Press a bet" is a gambling term that refers to the strategy of increasing the size of a bet after a win, with the intention of maximizing potential profits. For example, if a player wins a bet, they might choose to "press" their next wager by betting the original amount plus their winnings, or by doubling their bet. This strategy is often used in games like blackjack, roulette, or craps, where players may feel confident after a win and want to take advantage of their winning streak. However, it also comes with the risk of losing the increased bet amount.
