I don't want to see Banko play out!

I know what you mean. I usually cash out first thing unless it is early and only for 10 points. I just hate to lose out when I don't cash out. Of course the flip side is how many times I lose out on a bigger score because I'm too chicken. And I hate to see that happen!

I am a big chicken too!!

I can't hardly not cash out the first time possible. I too am a chicken.

I have rituals for cashing out. If it's bingo and the calls are under 30 and I have at least one corner covered, I continue. if it's over 30 and I have 3 corners covered, I continue. And, if the next point level on bingo is 100 and I get a four corners, I cashout because I almost always lose there. I also tend to cashout early if the previous card had a high number of calls. This system doesn't always work but it seems to do ok. My other criteria for continuing is if I've already scored big, I take a chance and continue.

This probably sounds incredibly silly and way too serious for playing a game online

Doesn't sound silly to me. I wish I had a plan. I go on instince and don't seem to do as well as many of you.
