For many players, there's no clear delineation. They want to have fun, but they also believe their systems and techniques can cut into or beat the house edge.

Again from the same thread over there, this is a top administrator, afaik ranking just below Queen Sonya:

1. A lot of people only mention their wins and you don't hear about those other hours and dollars spent trying to get that big win.

2. Some people embellish their wins.

3. Some people fabricate the whole story. Outright lie would be the textbook definition.

4. A few people know when to walk away and lock in a win. "Cash out, go home."

5. And last, but not least, don't believe everything you read on the Internet.​
That's a low opinion of the other posters. If you pressed me, I would have to admit that a few message board denizens are habitual liars. But usually it's just a matter of selective presentation. There's peer pressure to keep it happy.

And I see yet another mention of quitting when ahead. But your timing must be precise. You have to quit correctly.
