Pressing
1 min read
A player is pressing the bet when they let winnings ride by wagering them along with the original bet.
In casino gambling, "pressing" refers to the strategy of increasing the size of your bets after a win. This tactic is often used in games like blackjack, roulette, or craps, where players may choose to "press" their winnings by betting a portion or all of their profit from a previous win on the next round. The idea behind pressing is to capitalize on winning streaks by risking some of the winnings in hopes of achieving even larger payouts. However, it also comes with the risk of losing those pressed bets, so players must be cautious and aware of their overall bankroll management when employing this strategy.
