Lets take your last 10 trips to the casino. Would you say that you were, at any given point on each trip, up at least 25% of your bankroll the majority of your trips?

Those are two very different numbers. Many of us have six or seven figure bankrolls but might only bring four or five figures to the casino.

The amount that you bring on the trip obviously.

Why is that obvious? The term bankroll doesn't mean liquid cash immediately on hand.

WMW: Your question, as constructed, is confusing: it might make more sense if you removed the words "on each trip;" it would then read:
"Lets take your last 10 trips to the casino. Would you say that you were, at any given point, up at least 25% of your bankroll the majority of your trips?"
Regardless, your inquiry is reminiscent of John Patrick's mantra: "90% of the people who enter a casino get ahead, yet 70% of that 90% give the money back".
A clear example of math used in the service of an avowed innumerate; he obviously pulled those figures out of his nether eye.
But I get your point: "Quit while you're ahead."

Up 25% of
Net Worth: Never
Gambling Bankroll: Never
Trip Bankroll: About 1 day out of 90. Usually visit 3-8 casinos on a day, so maybe 1 out of 500.
Highest I was up in last 10 casino visits was about 0.6% of Trip Bankroll.
For me, a decent day is up about 1-2% of Trip Bankroll.

2016 was a good year for me; I actually ended up in the black! On 3 out of 8 trips, I won over 25% of my trip BR. But as for the other trips, I was never up 25% at any point. So, to answer OP's question: No. Over the past 10 trips, the majority never saw my trip BR rise 25% above its starting point.
