Menh it is no easy to be a gambler. Well that the life
"NO RISK NO GAIN"

recently I placed a bet on different soccer games and I  staked it with about $70 on accumulated odd of 10.36 which came out a total of $725.

After placing my bet I later check back on the games in my account to monitor the success of my predictions and I opened the betslip and I  was given a  cash out of about $389 and the matches remaining was just one game  so I decided not to take the it...i decided to be a  brave gambler and wait for the last game to be concluded and then collect the full money

But the last  game didn't turn out the way I wanted it and I lost that $389

I have faced similar situation before and most times I often collect the cash that comes as a  cash out then the result of the Last match turns out correct and instead of having the whole money I miss out and get a  little chunk of it..

So what would you would advise as a gambler? is it better to collect the cash out or wait for the full cash

I would cashout since it's still great profits at the end of the day which is all that matters. Did this successfully several times throughout my betting career and I never regretted any of my decisions even when the final bets won.

However, I wouldn't cashout if the difference was very, very big for obvious reasons. High risk, High reward all the freaking way.

Things like this go back to what we believe.
I personally always make some bets in the sportsbook until the end but when I look at the odds and we have won in those bets and see the condition of the one we support in this case is a little threatened then I might as well do a Cash Out but this is only a small part of what I do because I always bet until the end even though sometimes there are some matches that are really unexpected.

That is what I have been saying in several posts. When a gambler doesn't know when to stop gambling he will eventually end up losing everything and even more. So, when you place a bet and earn a good amount, you should know when to take profits out and when to stop gambling.

This has to do with the emotional part of a gambler. If you do not know how to control it, you will end up losing one way or another

As a gambler, I will take the risk and finished my multi bet, that's what we gamblers are, chasing that big win and see how it goes for us.

So for me, there should be no regrets, have been in this kind of situation before, didn't take the money and lost, but there are times that I have hit my parlay till the last game so it feels pretty damn good in the end.

It presented again, I wouldn't take it though, just saying.

I like to cash out about 75% if I win big and then play with the rest.

That is just one if the advantages of cashout, but it has disadvantage too.

There was a match that both team where playing draw and the cashout amount was still a loss for me because the money I used to stake it was higher than the cashout, I left the match, but later I wanted to cashout but the cashout was disabled by the betting site that I used because it was just 3 minutes to the end of the match and it was extra time already. Luckily the team I chose scored and I won. This has happened to me not the first time but countless numbers if time.

But that can be otherwise too.

A for me, I do not use cashout, but it can be otherwise too in a way it will remain just few seconds and the bet that is favouring someone will become otherwise and be lost.

Just zero your mind to one, nut if I should give my opinion, cashout has more disadvantages than advantages.

Very hard decision to make though, but if you look at the amount of your capital, that is a huge win already if you cash out early.

But for some, they might want to see the actual results of the game and see if you can make the odds that you bet.

At least though, if you cash out, you can take the money already, that's already a big win, and perhaps don't look at the result of the last match in your bet. So that you won't regret anything in the end.

If I were you, I'd take that $389 and leave the casino because it's big enough to take advantage of the game. You don't have to wait until the last game is over because you already have an experience where if you wait until it's over, you'll lose more often than not. So learn from that experience, don't be greedy by expecting more profit from gambling because the results can be very unpredictable. And if you already see your profit, take it immediately before it's gone.

If you keep playing you will lose more money. You know that, I know that, everybody knows it. Take the money and run. I know, you will think "what if I can win more? What if I am leaving the money on the table? What if I get lucky in the next round?"

Well, stop with this non-sense. Don't think about it. You had a good run, you made money. You already lost more than half of it. Let me tell you a good "what if", what if you lose what's left of your account balance? Does it sound good? Nope.

OP, no one in the forum can answer that for you, but you. But as a "guideline", and because you have your own money at risk, it will absolutely be OK to cash out if you ask me, especially if you are stressed from the bet. But if it's money from a bonus, or a giveaway, definitely you should wait for the full cash!

I understand this kind of situation that at times when you do cash out the last game come out to your favour but then you are already out with what you got as cash out and now you wanted to go for the full payment trying your luck. Well it happens that way and this is the reason it is gambling that even in the midst of winning you have to gamble your luck. Don't regret. Always do what you think is appropriate for you at the right time.

Certain factors can contribute to our decision in this light.

It may be lack of fund, if we need money at that time we can decide not to wait for the full winning money. We may also not be sure of the last game and our past experience is also a factor

You win already so much better if you withdraw the available amount you already have because you could lose all for continue playing since you will be tempt to bet more if you are losing. SO better secure your current position and you can use the money left on your gambling account to play again.

Not all the time we are lucky so act smart on your winnings.

If you bet has already given you double or more than your initial bet, you can cash out and save yourself the uncertainty of the remaining game, deciding to still wait to get all can be regarded as greed, which can cost you everything just like your case. The money you have at hand is worth more than what you are expecting. If it is a situation where what you have won is not yet to double your bet, waiting is the best option. For you, you bet $70 and have above $300 already, the best decision would have been to cash out.

What is the goal of any gambler? I'll tell you - to win. It may not be the highest win you can get, but it's better than zero and losing the wagered money, which will already be a direct loss (your $70). Everyone wants to win here and now, and hit the jackpot, and as a result, greed leads to losses. But what if you change your strategy and aim for not big wins, but to get them for a long time? Little by little, increase your winnings, which will eventually turn into a large amount. It's the same in your story. In the pursuit of $725, you lost $389, but 2 wins of $389 each would give you exactly that $725, but with less risk.

To be honest, I would have reacted the same way. In fact, I still get mad when I play a game and lose what was at stake. What can you do? It's always easy to look back when we know the outcome and think we could have made  a better decision. How could I have anticipated that the results would prove me wrong?

Just a reminder, you didn't lose $389, you just chose not to accept a potential gain. In the end, your only loss was your original stake. You can't expect to win all the time. If a gamble doesn't go our way, there's no sense beating ourselves up about it.

usually when we get a big win if you continue the game until the end believe the winning money will run out again, so you can withdraw your money there and leave the initial capital to play again, every gambler must be able to control himself even if you ask anyone's opinion everything back to yourself, you must be able to control it yourself because it is at your own risk as a gambler if you experience defeat and lose a lot of money there

In this case, if it happened to me, then indeed I will immediately cash out after the profit, especially seeing the condition of the capital that you did in the bet, it is clear that you have actually got x5 but indeed this can be a difficult choice because we will definitely be worried about this and it does happen to you when you're worried about losing everything.
For bets like this you have to be really observant, especially with big bets and you can make this an experience so that things like this don't happen again in the future.

I have similar experience multiple time's, sometimes I always cash out my money before the last match, sometimes I always wait, but the funniest part is that whenever I decide to cash out the last match prediction is always correct, but whenever I decided to wait for the last match to be played, then my prediction in the last match is always wrong, so sometimes you don't have to be greedy, you gambled with $70 and you are having opportunity to cash out $389, I think that's not a bad win but I know it's a hard decision to take. You can just cash out your money and wait for another time to gamble again.

In my opinion this is a little different from when players should know to stop betting and take profits that can be taken, if bettors choose multi bets then stick to their choices as consistency

Actually, what you feel is felt by almost all bettors that not doing cashout when they are already profitable and it turns out that the last match spoiled everything and give disappointing result.
But it should return to the goal of multibet, which is to get a bigger win at the risk of not getting anything, then stick with the original goal it would be better but if you choose to do it and it works then that's fine but if it turns out you don't cashout and become a loss let it go.
Or if bettors is good in calculation can do cashout if the rest of the game doesn't really affect the amount that will be earned rather than risking bigger it would be better to take it and Don't be disappointed if it turns out that the last match also won

True. But sometimes you think of what you could have gotten if it weren't for those meddling fingers.

You just keep wanting more and more, then things just go South from there. :p

I just started betting online and noticed that i can even do that. I always thought that bets are locked but it makes sense mathematically for casinos to allow people taking smaller sums or cut their losses. Statistically speaking it's same for them.

And first time almost cut my losses because i couldn't take the heat and it wasn't a familiar enough sport to tell if the opponent was dominating too much. So i am guessing your question depends on how is the  game or match is going. I am don't have enough knowledge on some games to see if key players are not having a good day, but in in MMA or boxing i think i can see if someone's going to dominate someone else so my guess is that i can easily cut my losses if things aren't working in my favor.

If the game is even and well-matched but i was winning by betting ratio, i would probably wait out the rest of the game/match.

If i play complicated sports that i don't know enough of, which is most of them, i personally need to wait for the end to see how it plays out because i can't read the playing field, or what's happening in the game, and i wouldn't know if i should trust the moving betting ratio.

- Those situations are luck that turned out to be bad luck in the end. Based on your story, OP, it seems that you were a little greedy because you

thought that in the end you would win. Don't you think that every winning in gambling is always based on luck and not winning is often the same.

But it's a shame that 389$ is also a big amount anyway.

For me, if you think that your pick on that last match has only a 50% chance of winning, or you are not confident of that choice, it would be better if you decided to cash out.
I would just go all out if I have above 60% confidence that the team I picked will win, how about yours in that case?  Remember to consider the opposing team and its players.

You lost your 70 dollars while chasing an amount of 725, and you had an opportunity to stop at 389 but your greediness made you to take the risk but you lost at the end is the summary of what you said. So the advice is simple when you have the opportunity to make money then grab it instead of waiting for double the money cause this urge will never stop until you lose. You can't complain the gambling because the house is designed to have better chance of winning so don't try to outsmart it just try to be wise.

Yes. I have been in this very shoe of yours several times, and I know how it feels because gambling is not easy and has never been easy, as you are faced to make calculated decisions and risks, which at times may not be in your favour, but that doesn't mean you gonna give up, as life goes on.
And in this scenario, I'm sure If had it been you cash out and later found out the prediction was correct, you would have been angry, likewise now. So in most cases, what I do is I follow my instincts, if it tells me to cash out, I will do it, and if it doesn't, then I will just wait till the end, hoping it turns in my favour. Because you just need to have it in mind that in gambling, you can either win or lose. It's not a do or die affair.

The advise on this thing will vary, it depends on the ideal of a player.  Other player will see it through till the end, these are people who are ready to take the risk for a greater reward while others will cash out once a decent profit is made.  As for me, I would weigh the outcome of the next game, if it is just double my money then I will definitely cash out, after all I think the win isn't enough to compensate for the risk involved in getting that win but if it is 10x and above, I would gladly see it through the end.  Whether I win or lose if the next price is enough to compensate for the risk then by all means I will risk the fund and carry on with the next game.

Honestly, I have been in this situation on several occasions either but I always wait till the end of the game since I don't just gamble on soccer games I did the needed research, and if it turns out that waiting till the end of the game made loss some portion of the money I ought to get if I cash out before the game end it is fine by mean because if the last game turns out to be winning in the end base on my prediction I will still lose some fund after cash out before the end of the game.

If you're a high-risk taker, then you would wait until the end of the game but to those who seek assurance, cashing out the profit as early as possible will be a wise move. Well, that's the risk of gambling, especially in sports betting, there will be times that you will regret that you made a different decision even if your prediction of the outcome is accurate but you'll have no choice but to deal with it and move forward. It's just that there are really unlucky days for us.

cash withdrawal would be better than waiting for full cash but not sure.

actually it is true, not taking risks will not be able to get big profits. but that kind of thing looks like greedy and not good at gambling. with a capital of $ 70 to gamble and have the opportunity to cash out $ 389 for me it is already better than you should expect a bigger win but still not sure you will get.

although if you cash out $389 you can place even more bets and have a chance of getting bigger profits than having to wait for the full cash out but still not sure of winning.

and my advice if something like that happens again, try to cash out and enjoy what you get at that time and get rid of greed that will lead you to lose all your money

OP would regret about his decision if he cashed out the amount earlier and won the last bet too. Now he is also regretting his decision as he didn't cash out his bet. I have gone through similar situation several times with my multi bet selection. OP lost his initial bet amount, but he is feeling that he had lost $389 as he noticed the bet slip when the cash out option was available at $389. I would have also stayed with the multi bet selection if I was in OP's position.

This is actually what makes gambling fun. I notice the stuff actually happens when you are left with a game that seems like a sure odd. Probably a top team against the lower ones.

The emotions and disappointment, and the decision part makes it sometimes makes it fun. I wouldn't blame anyone that in spite of the choice they make.

So don't feel down you made a bold choice to gain more it just didn't go through

Well, that's the thing about being a gambler, everything we do comes with risk as that's how we earn through it however it doesn't mean that we will not do anything about the risk as we can do strategize and research to minimize the risk with or without compromising rewards or prizes.

As a gambler, I suggest that you assess each and every bet you made and whether it's enough, so you'll be able to stop before losing. Just like on what happened on your current gambling session whereas you got greedy even though it's already five times of your initial bet. If that was me, I'd instantly cash it out and try to gamble again later on as that amount is significantly high or enough for me as a win.

It is not only for last games but you probably have been pained alot because the last game puts a kind of memory on you that it was just the game that stopped you in other words it can be in any game. I have had it happen to me even in middle games that I was waiting for the cash to increase but however I would have been better of too if I had taken the cash out and went away.

Gamblers lose either by chasing profit and chasing their losses. Whenever I can, I secure profit and make sure to control my greed. The more you want to earn the more risk you are to lose all your funds. We always have the urge when we reach our target profit to bet more because we feel we are lucky, after losing in the end we always hope that we should've kept the profit, same way if we cash out early and found out that we could've won if we have done that last bet we hope that we could've stayed and bet more. There's no contentment in gambling, so I better stick with a whatever profit it is small or big rather than going home with a loss.

That is why if you see good profits already onhand, then settle with it and cashout. Otherwise, you will never get back the said profits anymore as you eventually end up losing and regretting. While it’s never bad to take risk in gambling and sometimes chase your luck for more profits, but it’s a lot safer if you stop gambling and cashout your profits after you have made such a great amount.

......Take chances professionally....
Don't capitalize on this common fact that "as a gambler, you must take risk" , always improvise so you could save something out for yourself, at the end of the day and no just STAKING..
What really poops into your mind when you were tuitored about this "take risk, to earn" ideology? How did it sound to you? .. I mean, how did you understand 'em? It all depends on that.
I'd advise anyone, -- since I don't believe there's a thing like "suregame", then any user shouldn't place much hopes on last bullet, dismantling a building or cutting down two tree branches simultaneously. Use the cash-out button, ASAP.

I am surprised that you did not take the cash out option when you got 389$ when you had similar experience before whereby keep trying your luck will make you lose all of the winnings.
Based on your own experience, you do not need any advice. Just collect the cash and enjoy the money.

And by the way, you call yourself a brave gambler to take more risk, well this is not brave, this is called greediness Bravery is that you know you can win more by waiting for the full cash but you quit thinking that you will not behave like a greedy gambler.

For you only. You think it's not easy because you are making it hard but only if you will start to care less (don't mind your losses) and then don't expect too much (just only play for fun) you will say that I am right but for you to not mind your losses, you will be needing to deposit only small amount or the money that you can easily afford to lose. What happened to your bet there is annoying.

It seems like someone is watching you and doesn't want you to win the full amount but this shouldn't stop you. Just keep on trying and trying. I know you will get it one day and I hope that should make you contented already. Next time you will now play safer. Better to cash out a little but more surer than not getting anything at all.

So you play those parlay games and can't decide if you should quit half way or not. It depends on the money won, I guess.
If I were to turn $100 into $300 and could withdraw I probably wouldn't be greedy at that point and just let it go. If that was a $20 bet turned into $80 or something like that I'd follow through. For me the decision depends on the money that I'm risking

You can certainly consider the cashout option, but what you do get is that sooner or later you will regret this decision. There are also betting sites where you can't use the cashout function at all, you also lose a certain % of your bet if you use the cashout function. Perhaps it's generally best to just let your bet go and see what happens. After all, that seems to me to be the setup when you placed a bet on a sports bet. Or you have to deal with arbitrage betting on your own.

Cash out is there for that purposed, but you have to be very quick in making your decisions, otherwise the window will close. For me though, I will not used the cashout and let my bet continue and watch the game and make it more exciting to see if you can win huge or go home. And that is the most fun part of doing a parlay, gonna be long game, but it's worth if your bet are going to be hit. And you don't have to regret in the end, that's gambling and for sure the OP knows that. Life is full or risk and this is just one example of it. It's not being greedy,  it's how you play the game, the very definition of gambling.

Exactly cashing out is a very important feature in football betting just like every other investment, if you already gain a tangible amount of profits all that you need is to walk away unless you are very sure of the outcome of all the games you selected.

But my ultimate advice is to exit when the stage is still in your favor because football is an unpredictable game so you have to act with caution and be smart to analyze properly.

You can still do a lot with that good amount of profits so prefer to cashout it immediately before you lose it again because you were too greed for bigger profits. And always think that there’s no assurance in gambling, if you think you can easily increase your winnings because you felt you are very lucky that day, then never get tempted to do that. It’s a proven scenario, once you win a great amount, then start withrawing your funds, otherwise you will head home with an empty pocket.

@OP got a little greedy there reason why he chose to see the game till the end.  Sadly the result doesn't come into his favor and made him lose the amount that should have been a profit if he got contented and made a cash-out.  I will also give advise to take the profit already since it is already a clear money.


I agree, @OP mistaken greed for bravery.  Besides greed, I won't consider that act as bravery it is more of being idiotic.

Such action is not a surprise, as most of us already got into the situation one way or another.
If you feel you have high chances of being right for the last bet, certainly, you won't cash out.
But if you think it is best to cash out as you are not very sure about the outcome, then do it.
This situation is very subjective as it depends on the last bet slip that you have. So for me, it is a case to case basis.
But if you want a sure winning, then cash out and not wait for the last bet. Even if you feel you have the chance to be right.

When you're happy and winning, be careful with your feelings because that could lead you to lose the profits that you've made.
It's better to cash it out and if you think that you're done collecting because it has come to you not so easily but it could lose by you too easily. And that's why whenever it is already on your hand, make sure that you get to cash out for you to secure it and it won't be taken away to you in an instant.

Thats already a big win. OP could've cashed out the winning, because he had similar experiences in the past. When we're into gambling and our predictions have won, we'll gain confidence that the final bet too will win. It is not our mistake in some means, this too can be connected to the luck.

Higher the risk, higher is the chance of winning/losing. This is how we can conclude, because OP have gone for the risk even after winning. He's unlucky, if not the risk he took could've brought him big money.

When doing gambling then we do really have only two options which you could choose whether you would go for it or would really completely stop and ensure the current winning you do have?

These are the main scenario which a gambler could really be able to experience whether he would really be making these kind of decisions on pushing through or would really be going into safer side?

Ensuring profits or winning along midway of a game is something that really could boggle up your mind.You cant really be able to avoid on not to be that impulsive
on these kind of times.

Look at it as a bet.  If you arent comfortable betting $389 to win $700+ then take the cash off the table.  If ypu like the bet then let it ride.  You can always cash out and then bet a smaller amount straight up on that game so you don't miss out completely.  I like hedging my bet though and take a profit when I can.

Cashout feature is given by the casino so that you can take profit or take loss base on actual condition of the game. You are betting on a high odds parlay bet which means that this bet is very risky. You should consider the cashout especially if the last match is not a sure type game like the odds on winning is less than 1.5 or so.

I always avail the cashout on my bet right after I saw that the team that I bet is not on there perfect form. I wait for the score becomes close then I cashout when my loss is just minimal. I know that taking profit is hard due to the possibility of higher profitbut you should consider the remaining odds of the game to decide whether to continue or take profit already

Well if you are feeling good about your bet, I don't see any reason to withdraw at all. Personally I would still chase for the win and not regret it even if it ends up as a losing bet. But of course, if it's in the thousands already I would just use my common sense in decision making. You have to be smart on that one rather than try to chase even more wins than you can possibly have at the moment. But if it's in those levels (hundreds), I'd just play to win and chase the complete parlay.

You are the only one that can answer that , but since your View is about No Risk No Gain , meaning you are willing to wait till the end so what do you want to hear from us?

because If I am to choose? of course cashing out will be my decision because I wanted a simple gambling activities and that is to win smaller than losing bigger.

never wait for total losing mate that is what we must do .

What happened to the OP is merely a gambling spirit, gambling makes one emotional, and it's you that would control your mental part. If there is a thing that 'trading' has helped me to overcome, that is emotion, and the aspect of emotion that I have completely overcome is greed. This has forced me to be more managerial and smart and has been helping me to bet and go for the offers given to me if reasonable.

Any moment I am presented with an offer as high as 1/2 of the full money expected, then it is wise for me to go for it immediately.

Well you're take too much risk since the odds is 10.36, usually one football match the odds is around 2.00-2.50 depends. With such high odds, you're also use high amount money to bet for $70, I wouldn't dare to gamble that amount with such high odds. I think you're greedy and want to make good sum of money through gambling, you should control yourself to lowering amount you bet and take less risk.

It is a very decision for you to cash out or wait till the end. In my experience, you will cash out your money and no more place your bet. If you wait untill you will get full of your money then you will also lose your all money. So gambling is too risky

Cashing out $389 profits with a bet of $70 is very reasonable profits "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush"  I do cash out when I am in a reasonable profit while betting on soccer matches because there is always countless opportunities to play another bet from part of my cashout thus I wouldn't take more risk, of course I will prefer to cashout whenever in profit consistently provided that the payout is far more than my stake, although it bow down to how individual gamblers take their own risk just like the OP who prefers to wait until all the matches is concluded.

Why did not you cash out it a half at least and keep the other half till the end? Is there no way to do partial cash out in the sportsbook where you are playing or is it due to your confidence that you will win the last game? If you did a half cash out, you should have doubled your stake already at least and you still have the chance to win the parlay with half of your stake. Of course it is hard to decide but it will be always depending on our plan and feel. However, cash out partially is the best option if you ask me.

Bro, I would've cashed out at that profit. You got greedy the second time, should've learned the lesson from the first time it happened.
Just imagine how much you already made from a $70 bet. That 5 times your capital which also gives you 5 times the opportunity to do it again and who knows you might get the same result next time.
You can just do it over and over again and you will make more money. That's the perks of betting online, the cashout options. I do it on Stake.com most of the time when I see even twice or 3 times the profit.

People are different when it comes to mindset on which it might be that a waste of opportunity for you but for others it would be a nice call considering that they had the chance on getting the winning in full.
This is where people do end up on proceeding on what they do have in mind.If they wish up to make more money or profits then they would really be taking up risk.If they are really that contented on the current
amount that they are seeing then they would eventually pull it out.So it does really vary on someones liking and perceptions since every person is really different into different things.
Yes, it is really giving out that kind of regret when you do miss out on cashouting the win mid-way and eventually lose up totally in the end but what if it do able to win?
This is the primary thing that they would be thinking on.

Usually when a gambler wasn't able to take that opportunity of cashing out, the next time he gambles whenever he's got a profit even it's lesser than the first one. He's going to start cashing out and will make sure to do the right thing that he has missed before.

Even it's not even 2x from the actual profit, as long as it's more than the bankroll that he's started. He's going to be assured that he'll take back the capital and will take a bit from the profit.

Because once you've experienced missing taking profits, you don't want that to happen ever again.

You shouldn't feel remorseful for any of your actions provided that your intentions were for good, you never know what you predicted may actually go as your mind directed you. I have been on this table many times, I do feel bad though the same way you lost $389 but trust me, if you had cashed it out on the last game and the game turned out as you initially predicted, you will also blame yourself for pulling out.

However, these decisions are simple to take without risk, you had a $10.36 stake and you already had $389, sometimes you have to let your greed be on the low and go for something instead of win you are having doubts on, having your money without risk is better than having unrealized win with uncertain outcome, always remember this adage that a bird at hand worth two in the bush.

That is right. We can't always make more than the bets we make and also, we must be able to feel enough and satisfied with the wins we get so we don't get too greedy by continuing to gamble and hope to win more money. And while we can get that big win, we better withdraw it and save some of it to gamble another day because we can come back to that casino site and try our luck. Who knows, we can be luckier than yesterday and win more money. That means we get twice as many wins.

Everyone have their own advices or decisions after winning in a bet. Let's just say that this is what I would have done if I am in your shoes, I would cash out portion of the amount won in previous bet and then the remaining balance will be used to bet in the final game. Even if you lose in the last bet at least you still have much money left instead of losing $389 or much more. It's already a good profit when you won in a bet with your $70 and you can just spend $70 again for the final bet at least if the result is not what you have expected then it's much better than losing $389.

I chicken out early... when I do a multi bet and it goes down to the last 1 or 2 bets, because it leaves me with money to fight another day. It also depends on how much I put on the multi bet... if it is a high amount, I will cash out early.... but if it is a small amount.. I will risk it.  ;D

Sports betting can be fun, if you manage the risk properly.... it is not like Slots ..where the RTP is set by the house and your destiny is locked in.  :P

There is an alternate solution available for this issue on some occasions which is taking advantage of promotions where you receive your profits even if 1 or 2 bets in your accumulator lose.

True. However, you can win big money through slots too as long as luck sides with you in a big way.

Except indeed if the bets we make in this case are really completely sure that we will win.
I made some big bets for a game last week and one of them was when Arsenal faced Chelsea last week.
I was at Arsenal at 2.65 odds at the time and when they scored 1 goal in the middle of the second half of course my stake was x1.3. actually I could have stopped it because I was already profitable but when I saw the performance of the team I supported it was clear I would not cash out and my choice was very right in this case.

It depends on what point of view we place ourselves from the match and depends on who we support in this case because indeed if we are sure what we are for, we immediately Cash Out even though a big win is almost certain to be obtained.

The best way is to cash out the profits you've made a day, that way you will not be tempted to use it when you lose all of you capital. Cashing it out could also be a way for you to easily see your progress or profits compare to your past experience as a gambler. Financial management is important even to gamblers, because most of the gamblers that I know lost all of their capital and profits because they don't know how to manage it well, they just randomly bet as long as they have money.

If you think the amount is already significant, then never hesitate to cashout. You can always continue to gamble and risk your money but you will have no guarantees that you’ll be making additional profits knowing in most scenarios, the more you chase for additional money, the bigger the chances you’ll end up losing them all. That is why as a responsible gambler, do cashout everytime you make significant amount of profits.

When I encounter the same situation, I analyze the last match again. I review the terms again and decide once again. And I will never regret my decision. Because I gamble for enjoyment. When I cash out, I make one more bet for the last match. That's all. I gamble to get away from the stress in my life. If I get stressed out while gambling, I think I'm doing something wrong. That's why I never get stressed when I gamble. No matter what happens, trust your decisions. And stand behind them. If you do this, you will find that you are happier.

We've all been in that kind of situation where we all felt overwhelmed with our winnings and still tried our luck believing that we could win more but ended up losing everything. Greed could always exist if we can't control our emotions but that should serve us a lesson for first time but doing it continuously means that you are not growing as a responsible gambler.
A wise gambler knows when to exit and take advantage of the winning. We should keep in mind that we could not always win so cashing out once we make a big profit out of our winning will be a smart move.

in my opinion the best thing is to cash out when the person is betting and makes a multibei bet then the person and the person sees that out of 10 games he has already won 8 games, he already has a profit of more than 3X the person does not need to be greedy , the person can cash out and get a high profit, but if the person wants to be greedy then he will lose everything and when he loses everything it means having to deposit once again in the casino or having a loss or reduced balance, I honestly don't see why someone who already has so much profit would have to risk waiting for a game and then lose

Indeed, in such circumstances it is very annoying and also sad, but everything has happened and can only be learned as a valuable lesson because greed must be defeated with self-control and it must be done for the next bet.
and experience will make us a wise bettor and stop when winning is the best way and even if we don't win too much if we do it often it will satisfy the results.

Honestly I am not belong to a big whales gambler so based on my experience as a small time then when I already have a good profit for me then I will withdraw immediately it because I don't want to be leave empty handed cause we all know that not all the time after we won in some bet then the next more bet we will wok also so I'll prefer to withdraw if I have already good amount of profits.

It's actually great to chicken out early especially if have already won enough. Just like what happened with OP, he already made more than 5 times from what he initially bet. I don't think it's logical to continue betting on the last 1 or 2 bets since you have already won on your previous bets, and it'll be much higher amount if you lose it all on just a few bets. But again, it depends on the amount that you'll be gambling on whether you would like to continue or not, if you have not win from your previous bet then it's good to continue up until the last bets.

 

It makes no sense to cashout less money than you deposited. Better to let the money idle on the platform for your future gambling sessions, otherwise it will be more expensive for you to have to make a new deposit after some days paying more transaction's fees, besides the fact you also have to pay withdrawal's fees.

You just have to be a controlled person in order to respect your own money not touching it while deposited on the platform until your next gambling session. Manage for how long you want this money to last for betting activity and play accordingly without going busted at once.

I always cash out and I always advise my brother to cash out when such a situation happens but recently one happened I did not cash out and the game did not play. It is very risky and I took it that way.
I cannot cash out what will not be beneficial to me. If I play a game with $25 and cash at $30 why my potential mean supposed to be $500 what is my gain of cashing out. I'll rather lose the $30 and wait for $500

 

If you think that amount of winnings is already good enough for you and are starting to doubt the remaining legs then cash it out. I've also experienced those kinds of parlays where there are only one or two legs left but instead of cashing them out, I decided to ride them out which rarely works out. Whenever I have a parlay and I can't cash them out I sometimes bet on the other side as it's better to secure some profits even if they go down significantly.

it is objectively better to cash out rather than risk losing all the profit but I'd still advise them to do what they want. gamblers have different goals, some want profit no matter how small it is and some want higher profits no matter how risky it is. I for one would be more on the cautious side and go for a cashout and not risk losing it all.

You may believe it about being a high-risk taker but that's not the definition to me because I gamble on the game I believe will give me a winning and whatever shouldn't bother me to the extent of cashing out.
To me is like not believing in myself and it is better to wait till the game ended than dicking out.

You are very correct on this one as the amount won in the total cash kit balance can determine whether you continue to play or not. Let's say you already earn over 40% of your total bet amount you are as good as winning the total bet price and can decide to walk away and not want to risk the entire winning price if the bet goes against your prediction as the game goes on.

So cashing out is sometimes the best thing in some situations especially when the clubs are top clubs.

This will depend on your target profit for that day, personally if I already have that kind of profit I will cash out and stop playing, that’s already a big profit for me and doing that everyday can make a big difference. I agree that we all have different goals, and some gamblers might be more greedy to take more risk knowing that he is lucky by that time, but eventually if you continue doing that there’s also a higher chance of losing that money, and you will just waste that opportunity to go home with a profit.

^ It depends on your target profit and that is right.
But sometimes when I know that I have profit I usually cash it out because in my opinion the more you spend time gambling the more chances of losses become wide. Learn how to be contented with a small winning which is always on my head while gambling but sometimes we always hoping a big amount of winning that becomes worst when seeing our pockets are almost empty. Locking your target profit is I think a very accurate method of handling your money.

Continuous betting is fine as long as you are ready for that risk, and beside you just lose your capital here and you can try it again. Though most of the gambler will surely get that profit right away because that’s already a big profit with your small bet, some gambler consider that already as their lucky day and spend it the way they wanted it. Cashing out will be my option as well, regardless how lucky I am I still need to secure some profit.

That is an exception because we already know that the team we choose has a greater chance of winning the match so we delay withdrawing the winning money we have earned. But remember that in every match, situations can change and the team we choose may experience changes in play which can cause their performance to decrease from before. And if this happens, it is beyond our expectations so that it can cause our bet to lose. That's why we must always research each team before we place a bet so that we are right in choosing the team that will compete.

Withdrawing the money does not assure you anything either, as I know of cases that after a big win, they withdrew the money, and shortly after, they got a compulsion, deposited it again and ended up losing everything and more. It would be much better for you to learn not to let yourself be carried away by your emotions.

As far as I am concerned, it does not make sense because I do bankroll management and now what I earn I reinvest it to go up levels (I play poker) when at other times I have decided to stay at a level and withdraw the benefits, the strategy is to leave a minimum of stacks and what exceeds withdraw it. In other words, if I leave 50 stacks, and when I finish the session I have won 4 and a half, I withdraw those 4 and a half. If in the next session I lose 4 stacks, I have 46 stacks left and I don't withdraw anything until I recover the initial 50 stacks and exceed them.

Actually, when we look at this incident, the money coming out of your safe is $70. The $389 didn't belong to you. The money that is not in your safe is not yours. Because it is not clear what will be. But if you do not want to be upset and regretted in this way, take the profit you made and get out of the game.
I am always on the side of the least risk. So it makes more sense for me to take the money.  More risk means more money, that's right. But there is also no need to lose the money at hand for more money.

Mehh, it's truly a very difficult situation to be frank with you because one of the greatest problem with gambling is greed and quest to make big profit.
If I was to be in your shoes, I would have taken the $389 and walked away but then I understand that you were very confident in your game and since it was remaining just one, you saw no reason to opt out and that is actually were the greed factor comes in.
As a gambler, there are two things you must have to work in first, which is your contentment level and greed level, the moment you work in this two, you're half way to success in gambling.

He should have taken the money because the outcome $389 is very high than the capital $70. I will not cash out if the cash out amount was around $85 to $100. But in his own situation he got more than 300% of his capital. It is only greed that will make one not to cash out at this ample opportunity. Although we know the feelings that will all the matches will play, leave it

Yes, i like your point. there is nothing easy to bet on a sportsbook, everything returns to the choice of bets and what we believed before. with all considerations and according to what we understand, basically it all depends again on the situation at that time.

in certain cases, we will look at the conditions and opportunities that we have. if what we support is not what we have predicted before, especially in this case it is a bit threatened. then, the option of doing Cash Out is a better choice. however, basically we rarely exercise this option and it depends again on what we predicted before.
I'm sure, most gamblers who like sportsbook betting have experienced many cases similar to what Op described in the thread above. so the problem is not collecting the cash out or waiting for the full cash, but how confident are we in every available opportunity.

We cant say it is as a pure greed. Some gamblers aware about such situation but they do not cash out because they believe that the bet will go through as a winning bet especially when there is one selection left. Imagine, if he did cash out (full) and the last match is a win. There will be a different regret as he should have won double amount than what he cashed out. Of course if the last match is a lose, he lost everything. That's why I said previously that doing partial cash out is the best option when it comes to a dilemma.

It also depends on the option you played in the last match. If the last game is the most risky in your selection, you don't have to wait till the end. But if the last game is safer than the ones that played, you can take the risk. I don't expect anyone to ask how to know if a match is safe or not. After bets everyone knows the one you expect to spoil the accumulated bet

That's the risk thing if you didn't make a risk at all you can get a profit, that's the gambling works, this is the reason why people are willing to risks for having a higher reward if you got a good profit with that risk there's a chance you lose it again, that's why in gambling people wanting to play more in gambling they know the risk of getting a good earning in this game, if you hit the jackpot well that's good enough if not there's a chance to play more, for me sometimes the mood really effects the momentum of the game if you are not well to play not ideal to make a risk because sure you'll make a bad decision.

That is what gambling is all about. You have no assurance of what will be the outcome that is why you should bet ehat you can afford losing and take what you think id necessary. If you have regrets then that must be your frustrations which is just normal. Think of this; if you have pulled out your money then happened that you had a wrong guess but luckily you did not bet on it, would you have the same reaction of being upset? ofcourse not because the outcome was in favor to your likeness. So do the same thing if the outcome won't 'coz in the first place no one pushed you to play other than yourself. If you can see the future ofcourse you'd be betting more on your winning bets but that's just impossible.

If you can't control your emotions, always secure profit to lessen being upset of your losses. That is greed on the other hand if you already won and continued to play more, with hopes of earning more basically. Know your limits as a player.

Why don't you just repeating the first scenario? you have been putting small amounts of money and then it turns to become 5x times more from your initial fund. You can cash out this and try to did the same thing again and again.
You shall not being so greedy to think that you can make bunch of money from there. I meant look at how you can get very nice profit form your first bet and then repeating it will be also making your money become even more than before.
Think about that. as a gambler but you must also think rationally. that's pretty much the same like future trade. If you are winning and then use whole of money to bet again and then that's a stupid move

We can't just continue for more but all gamblers must have a limitation even if we say that we are ready to take the risk and lose money because we are also losing a time here and we all know how important it was. It should properly be use on every other beneficial things not only on the things that gives us temporary enjoyment.

It seems that is easy for you to try say that try again after losing but what if we don't have money anymore? Losing at first, can be a sign that a gambler is unlucky. I already prove it that even after second and third re deposits, I still didn't get a win but if ever we are lucky, we also need to know when to stop and cash out because it's not long lasting and there is no way you can sap all the money inside the casino.

In gambling the higher the risk, the higher the gain. Also as a gambler you make your own decisions based on your experience and convictions about a particular game. But for me, I am not very greedy. Regardless of how small might win seems, I would cash out instead of waiting to win big. There is a very high chance that you might loose all if you don't collect your win. But OP you were brave enough expecting to win more. If you had won that game, you would have been celebrated by all, but because you lost, everyone is blaming you. But for me, I would cashed out immediately. 

if I were you then I would cash out 70% of the winnings and put the rest as capital back for my next betting. The hard rule that you have to remember is never to be greedy in gambling, greed will get you screwed, and many gamblers actually lose big after winning big, it's all because they are greedy and too confident they will win more in the next round. hope you make the best decision!

You're right on this but there should be a time that you should moderate your greed from $70 to $389 is already good to cashout

recently I placed a bet on different soccer games and I  staked it with about $70 on accumulated odd of 10.36 which came out a total of $725.

You have to live with it, its better to cashout with profit than have no cash out at all, but if you're having a good run then that will be the time to go for it, it's not only for sports betting that this scenario applies even in luck based you can face with this situation.

I have experienced a similar situation many times on stake.com, and several times, i have refused to take the cash out offer and ended up loosing the game and the entire money.
But there are other times when i take the cash out and the game later pulled through and i start blaming myself for taking the cash out.

to be sincere, what i have learnt from experience with cash out is that accepting to cash out or not solely depends on how sure you are on winning the remaining or not, if you are very sure that the game will play out in your favor. then it makes no sense accepting a cash out offer, but if you are  not sure about the outcome of the remaining game(s), and you are being offered a cash out that is way above the amount you staked, I think if it is me, I will accept the cash out and will never look at the game again, so as not to feel any regret just in case the game later turned out as i had predicted.

That's true. So if you intend to gain more, expect for it to be more risky and it depends on us if we are willing to take that risk. Often, we are tempted to do it because of our desire to earn huge then will regret if our expectation didn't happened. I already experience this kind of situation many times and often slap with bad result, it's not really good to be greedy because you'll end up losing it all. Thus, if you had the chance to cash out dont hesitate because it's already a profit otherwise you might regret not doing so.

The smart and ideal thing to do after you have gained a good amount of profits is to actually make a cashout. But it becomes too hard for us to do, instead we chose to continue to play and mostly regret later on. This is really happening mostly when we bet, while others feel satisfied and cashout their profits, a lot of us still chase our luck and continue to gamble, until we realize that our profits is slowly going back to the casino until we lost them everything.

Betting is so much like trading you can lose everything if you waited long enough and waited for a good price or cashout, its the risk involved in both betting and gambling and it really depends on your risk appetite, I prefer to cashout just doubling the amount of my bet is good enough for me, I can live with that even if lose additional profit from waiting for the completion of the game, its better than this than to feel sorry that you did not cashout earlier and lose everything.

My decision depends on the amount of money, but I usually choose to wait until the end because I usually choose to bet with small amounts. However, I don't find the no risk no gain motto exactly right because we can make more money with combined earnings. It is also possible to make combined gains by taking less risk, rather than always taking more risks. I wish everyone good luck...

Hehe it's easy to say things in hindsight but tough to make a decision when you're in that situation. I think your "bravery" for not cashing out before the last game was still a good choice. It just didn't turn out well this time. You would probably regret too when you cashed out early and the last one won.

If there is one thing I learned in gambling with all the years that I have played, it is to never get too greedy when you win. It also applies into investing where as soon as you saw and made some profit, always cash them out. The more time you placed your winnings/profits in the hands of the online gambling company, the higher the chances that you would use and bet them to play another round, like what happened to you OP.

I get it- it is very tempting to try and use the profit to bet again. But remember that the chances of you winning is very slim to the point that you would probably lose more than win more. That is why, as soon as you experience profit, better cash them out and avoid waiting until the end.

Some good male friends who play at local bet stores have had this experience countless times but i have promised myself if i ever try a multiple bet and get such outcome i will cash out in peace and let the last game go because the risk might be too heavy to bear. Just imagine OP had taken the $389 it would have been far better than losing it all.

There is no better option because, in the first place, you didn't know what will be the result. It's a matter of being satisfied with your supposed profit or expecting more. That's why it's called gambling in the first place right? You just didn't hit the win that's why you end up on a concern like that.

Regrets are really part of gambling. What if you won instead and were able to take home that $300+ win?

Up to you to decide what to do next if ever you end up again in that situation.

Sometimes the situation dictates how to react and decide on many situations in gambling, if you are coming from a huge loss and you think that this is the time to regain your losses then you will go all out and for the higher price, you have a big appetite for risk if this is your decision, it all boils down to your risky behavior and you are comfortable on what losses you will incur, but I always prefer to take profit, because in gambling its not always winning you will get even, lose and regain your losses.

Sorry to hear that you lost your bets, but that is the way of combi bets. One single bet can ruin our whole predictions, that is why I try to avoid them as much as possible, or only combine two or three bets the most. It's nice what kind of odds you get from combi bets, while also increasing the risk considerably. With your bets you ended up at odds of 10.36, which is very high in my opinion, these bets should fail more often than you win them. I usually only go for 2 or 3x bets. Making a 10x return is nice, but is not going to happen to often. We should keep that in mind and prepare ourselves for the worst possible outcomes. That is why I always like to take out some part of my winnings and not reinvest all of my money in the next bet. There  can always go something wrong with a bet and if we lose all our money from previous bets it is sad. Also the problem with losing all our money in a single bet is that we will have trouble to recover again. Splitting up our money and saving some makes sure that we can cover a losing streak more easily.

Its always a dilemma and it will always go down how confident you are on your bet, this is sports betting and your chances are much better than casino based luck game if you did a good analysis then you might as well go all out, but if you have doubt and you are tempted to cash out then cash out that's a hint that things could go from good to bad you already triple your bet, that's already good, you will only go if you are confident.

If the game you would like to play is Sportsbet I guess the only key to winning is your knowledge because by having a good background check and analysis of the game you can conclude an outcome of the game because the data it says already which is the team has a potential to win the game, but still this is a sports game there's a chance that they make a table turn by just having a one mistakes. Some people always seeks a good odds to play the game like an underdog game because there's a higher chance to get a good shot of profit right there.

There should be an expectation on every bet you make because unexpected things happen so if you don't want to have this dilemma before placing a bet, think of what you want to achieve and when you want to stop so you can decide right away when faced with this kind of scenario, stop or go on until you win that prize, always be ready to lose everything or win huge.

Cash it out if you feel that your profits are already sufficient and you are beginning to mistrust the remaining legs. We must be able to feel sufficient and content with the winnings we receive in order to avoid being overly greedy and continuing to gamble in the hopes of winning bigger money. We cannot always win more than the bets we place. While we can cash in on that huge gain, we should withdraw it and save up some of it so we can play another day as we can always return to that casino website and try our luck. Who knows, maybe today will be lucky than yesterday and we'll win more cash. We thus receive twice as many wins.

It is a personal decision. In my case I prefer cash out. I am aware that luck is difficult to have, it is normal to lose and even more so if we think in the long term. When I have a strike of luck I prefer to cash out at that moment and I'll come back another day. I know people that after a jackpot continued playing and lost everything. I don't want that for me. I call it a day and withdraw the money.

Actually, it's not a dilemma because if you are a wise bettor, you will be able to see how big your chance is to take the biggest profit. And if the chance to win more is not great after the middle of the match, you can take advantage and choose to end your bet because you don't see it can give you the maximum profit if you wait until the match is over. But if your profit percentage is more than the maximum until the end of the match, you will wait until the match is over. This may require experience in placing bets and the ability to analyze the course of the game so you can know how much profit you can get.

withdrawing the cash or collecting does not show that we are not risking our money because from the beginning of the bet we already risked our funds so taking it out that early is more practical than waiting for Full cash.
greeeb made us loser all of the time so lets take an easy move and that is not to wait for too much.
the post means Luck already in His part but the deciding point is how long luck will last  so you will need to cashing out or will continue trying your luck how long will stay.

I guess there isn't a black and white answer to this. I cannot directly say go ahead and collect the cash or wait for the last game to finish and hope that you will have a bigger prize.

It will all depend on the last game itself. If you are very confident of your bet, then I think waiting for the result is worth a risk. But if you are not that confident of that bet, then it is probably wiser to just take advantage of the cash out offer. After all it is already worth a lot more than your bet.

Yes, same here, I'm thinking of cashing it out before the last game.

It's already big money screaming in front of you, so why not take it as you made a good returns from your small bet and turning it to X amount. Risk means winning big, but at the same time, you can lose as well.And so it's better to call it a day and quit and withdraw and play the next day.

I think there's a million different factors that can come in to play when trying to decide if you should be cashing out sticking with your bet.  Personally, overall, not to say that there aren't exceptions, but I tend to think that the smarter play is to stick with your gut feeling.  That is of course if you know that you're pretty knowledgeable about the sport that you bet on. If you're betting more on a win and seem to have gotten pretty lucky and are up kinda big, might make more sense to cash out.  All depends I suppose.

It's subjective and each person has their own opinion.

For me personally I will wait until end since if I'm not yet satisfy, I wouldn't feel happy and just want to keep gamble. Gambling is for fun, so that's why I want to get fun rather than make money through gambling. You would lose all of your winnings since slots has a house edge and it will make the house always win. As long as you're not asking money from someone or steal someone money, it's fine.

But if that's what you do, you will probably lose more money because you will continue to gamble. But if you gamble with small amounts of money and always control yourself when you gamble by not trying to change the amount of money you bet, you probably will be fine. But if the conditions in the match change, you may lose the opportunity to withdraw the winning money you previously earned. But I'm sure that each gambler must have considered what to do.

A few things I have picked up along the way of my gambling journey is to remove greed from the equation. If your wager leaves you better than you were yesterday take it without thinking twice!

But in cases of cashout or let it run, I will usually choose to cashout, but you can also back the other side to to cover other possible outcomes if you are left with a game to guarantee your win regardless of the outcome.

I have a different view about cashing out in a soccer bet.
1) Before placing a soccer bet, I am expecting a positive outcome so when the number of remaining games is few and the cash out is ×4 or ×5 of my total stake, there's every tendency of me to cash out but on the other hand, if the number of the games is one just like the case of the op I will consider the other factors before cashing out. (1) If it is a direct win, considering the form of the particular team at the moment, the starting lineup and the injury crisis of the team will be the first thing (2) Considering the history of the teams involved in the game will determine the possible outcome of the game and my bet (3) working with my instincts will be put in consideration because most times as a gambler my instinct help me to think deeply and win.

When all this is done, I will know if am to cash out or wait because in gambling is either you win or you lose but for me winning big is always the goal.

Things are better with gambling today than the way they used to be before, now you don't have to wait till the games are over before you can cash out.

Since this is the case with gambling/ predicting today the risk is lower.

In every soccer games things could go wrong, even at the very last seconds a goal can still be scored, which can destroy your chances of winning, this is almost the same thing with buying coins and fail to take a profit when the price is up.

Always take your profit, a profit taker never lose.

Before we make any bet I think it is important that we think about all the possible scenarios that we can encounter, and as you may guess this includes what we are going to do in the case we happen to win big in one of our bets.

In my case I prefer to stop when I am ahead and I withdraw most of the profits I got as this makes me feel good with myself, now I know that if I keep gambling I will lose that money sooner or later, but I think this is a good strategy to feel like a winner once in a while.

I cash out some profits from the win without getting into too much greed to bet more in hope for more profits and that's goes best with me.I withdraw amounts when I see suitable or say when it's above $30 most likely.But in end cashing out profits is what will benefit you all in my opinion but if you are not taking out the urge to gamble more could make you loss all of it but this is my thought and it could differ from others.

true it is a personal decision but cashing out all funds (capital and winnings) is a non-wise decision, you will definitely come back with a large deposit and it would be wiser if you only left your capital as it was at the beginning when you made a deposit and you cashed out the rest (your victory money).

Apparently that is the most thoughtful and though time for gamblers because at point it's a pressure filled with and as always said gambling is a game of probability so is either you win or lose. We both have same experience when I bet at the local gambling site out of NGN2.2m of local currency was given a NGN500m to cashout and was seriously in need of cash nothing seems to work with me, decided to leave it and the last game cuts out.
So my lesson is: Half bread  is better than none, I would take profit (Cashout) before I lose everything.

Multibets is my latest passion, so I'm glad you started this thread. I will read more attentively through it, when I have more time, but even after a brief scrolling, I can say I like many of the replies, so, I'll be back. :)

As for the question you ask, just recently I placed a multibet with around 180.00 odds, and when I visited the site 2 days later, I saw that I could cash out 20x of my bet, while 2 games still left. I did cash out because I thought 20x was enough, and the very next game ended not as I predicted, so I was happy about my cashing out.

Being in your place I would definitely cash out $389, because it's a big money for me, but I would never bet $70 with 10.36 in the first place. So, if taking $389 wasn't, for you, something to cheer about, you did the right thing and you shouldn't regret it. Cash out only what you are happy with. Good luck next time.

You can not know the right time when to cash out or continue the game this is why it is called gambling since luck is involved. It is always good when gambling we shouldn't have that full confident that we must win and also think of losing too so that when you have won little,losing can also be considered in other for us to stop the game.

My friend made a bet on 15 matches with $50 the game will take 4 days to be completed and all games has played as predicted except the last game which was played in the night. Sam was so anxious and eager for this last game to kick off then an  offer came for cash out of $1190 but he refused because if the last match goes as predicted he will win a total of $3000. At the 91st minutes of the game his slip cut after he has started jubilating and he lost everything due to boldness and greed

greed is a big enemy and sometimes it works in silent ways
maybe better to cash out little by little instead of compounding until the last cent, even though compounding it all would pay more on the long run, this just happens if you win.

I think we have the same problem here. Some time ago I also placed a sports bet on Stake for several matches and the odds were more than 15. In the early matches my chosen team always won the bet, but in the last 2 matches, my prediction was wrong and then I lost it all.

My advice as a gambler here is: Be aware that a win is still a win regardless of how big or small the win is. Always remember that it is better to make only $10 or $20 on a $100 bet than to expect $200, $300 or more on a $100 bet which is definitely a higher risk.

Recently I applied what I said above, and the result? I get enough wins, even though the presentation is 10% - 15% of the initial capital.

Like trading gamblers should have an exit plan, this is what makes sports betting different from luck based you can set up a plan for when to exit or continue depending on how you analyze the game, if you are confident about the games and the teams then you can proceed if you have doubt then cash out, it's you who can decide it because it's your bet and your analysis just set up you're an exit plan if you can set up an exit plan then you are a responsible gambler.

That is a very interesting approach for cashing out or sticking to your bets. I guess if you place a lot of combi bets it makes sense to such a logical approach to take care of the decisions. It's been a long time since I placed most of my combi bets and stopped eventually using them all together. My approach was to never cash out early, but I lost too much money with that. Maybe my problem was also that I added too many risky bets together. I have the same motivation for my bets like you and that is too win big. Small wins are nice too, but that is not my goal. Now with the Worldcup approaching I will give combi bets another chance and see how I am doing. During the group stage I want to focus on sure wins to build my bankroll up for the semi finals. I will try to copy your strategy and see if it makes more sense to cash. The idea is now to combine 5 save wins into combi bet to get better odds.

human nature is greedy and never satisfied that's what I feel when curiosity keeps wanting to look for something bigger but in the end all my money runs out, that's why in gambling it is necessary to control myself in gambling don't be too greedy take a little win that's enough as long as consistent will be beautiful in time  :D

If you keep the money in the casino could be a big temptation to place more bets, if you can hold the money without betting then wait for the full amount to withdrawal, and if keep the money there makes you place more bets then withdraw it by batches.

I have seen a lot of times users losing all their money because they decided to keep the money on the casino because they wasn't able to withdrawal. So, isn't a wise move to keep the money in the casino.

Yep, that's true, humans have a greedy nature, where when they get something big, they will continue to want something even bigger. But until when will it last? i think it will never end. TBH, I also sometimes don't remember the advice I gave OP and keep playing until the money runs out. But whatever it is, keep self-control and always remember whatever all the suggestions are.

I somewhat agree that it's better to treat gambling as a way to have fun but at the same time that fun part usually happens when we're winning and making money.

Late goals are usually unpredictable but they happen a lot of the time and can also be a life saver for losing bets. It wouldn't hurt to cashout your bets once or twice whenever you have a gut feeling that your team would somehow choke but doing so frequently means you're cutting off more of the potential winnings you could've gotten.

If you play until you run out of money, this is a bad habit, it's an obvious sign that tells you that you are doing something wrong. In this case, it is worth clarifying what amount we are talking about. If you give yourself $10 for entertainment and don't care if you win or lose, that's one thing. But if we are talking about several hundred dollars, then this is already a problem worth thinking about.

One thing everyone must understand is that gambling is somehow  spiritual and I  feel when someone starts playing.
the whole concept of stopping when you have gotten little, disappears and you just want to keep on playing especially when the money you came is not complete again

Now you would be saying that let me just try and win back my money that's if you came with plenty and one thing is common with gamblers A losing gambler never stops playing or trying

You never know if it's your lucky day until after you make the decision, so I wouldn't call the bet going wrong in this case. A win is a win, no matter if you win 100 or 1000 and taking 100 home is better than losing it, hoping that it could be more.

It's always a matter of perspective whether this is already big money for you. Like if you bet $5 and win $5, but if you get the last game it gets to $20, you can as well keep playing. If it's a big win like $1k but could be $3k if you get lucky, I'd withdraw 1k and call myself lucky.

I cash out 70% -80% out of terrible past experience. In my estimation there is no word like bravery in the casino world. It either you risk it or you don't. And most times, since we know that the odds are not in our favour and that it is purely a game of luck we decide for a brief moment to throw logic and caution to the air. In 7 out of 10 times of the cases I have seen, it always doesn't turn out well.

As long as you don't spend hundreds of dollars until it runs out but if it's only a few dollars and say $ 20 for me for entertainment in gambling even though it runs out I won't continue it again and stop until $ 20 is back to top up again on weekends and usually that's what do.
Greedy playing and also greedy in big wins must be paid attention to because if it is ignored until whenever it will have no end while we will continue to run out in gambling.
The most important thing is to control yourself will be better.

Well, it’s not all the time that you may get lucky and came out with your last bet correct, most of the time  our last bet might be somewhat regretting because it will only make us lose everything we have. So always secure your profits first and foremost, and you can only do that if you stop betting and cashout your funds so you can go home at peace and enjoy your profits.

From my own experience it is probably better to let a bet play out if you have placed it, but I've never really dabbled with such high odds and it obviously implies that there is a very high risk involved. It depends what you feel comfortable with really, I would be more than happy to cash out a $325 profit if you felt nervous or perhaps the underlying odds have shifted against you. Imagine if the several of the best players on a team had picked up an injury in the last game that had already been locked in via the multi-bet weeks ago and you had the opportunity to walk away with a tidy profit - that would seem like a very sensible bet but it's entirely dependent on a personal analysis.

If you trust your bet and you know there are bigger chances for it to win, then trust your own instinct. But never expect from it too much as gambling is still a game of chance and luck. However, if you want to lessen the risk of losing, then do cashout when you are already in good profits. After all, even small amount is still considered a profit.

When you do make yourself get involved with gambling then you should really make yourself prepared to gamble literally.Its a matter of choice honestly and since its your money that had been used or bet up then

it is really on your total control whether you would really be cashing out or would really be waiting until the end of the game to know the overall outcome.There are only two various situations that could happen whether

it would be a win or loss.This is why making yourself that prepared into those condition and if you could bare up that influx of emotion then its up to you
whether you do ensure profits on mid way or would go push through all the way.

I believe it is not all about leaving money on a casino but rather a parlay bet (probably) where in he has an option to cash out or continue with the next bet.  So @OP is asking whether to continue his last bet or cash out and cancel the last one. 


I agree, never make a casino your bank.  Better to withdraw all the funds after you gambling session then just redeposit if you wanted to play.  It is always better to be safe than sorry.

I think the first experience of all gamblers is gambling just for fun, now the problem is not all gamblers stick to the principle of gambling for fun. As an example, myself and OP have the desire to win more. The question is, are you also a gambler? if indeed you are a gambling addict, I think you understand what the OP is talking about here.

Since this wasn't your first, you would have collected that very option given to you by the casino.
We really don't know how to manage greed in gambling and first when the option of giving a bettor a chance to opt out of a game when one is left was introduced, I thought the gambling industry would lose more but seeing this ga like this has really proven me wrong beyond every doubts

One thing I've learnt so far in the gambling industry is doing away with every win, no matter how little it is. I always told myself that every win is a win, no matter how little it might seem because I've always believed that half a bread is better than none.

Gambling is indeed for fun but even to those who are fully aware into their minds on how they should really be dealing with it but still they do fail on doing so because of emotions and sudden changes up of mindset.
When you do gamble then you are really that susceptible into this kind of situation where you would really be changing up those emotions and moods on the time you've been playing which even if you do have
that kind of thinking when you arent still playing but those things would really be changing up when you are on midway and i could really say this basing up on experience.
If you are longing for more profits then you would really be thinking about finishing up the game and still prefer on getting that full winning amount.

That's not what OP means. OP is not keeping the money literally.

There's a "cash out" option in sports betting where users have the option to take the money before the game settles. It's an opportunity to get a win or minimize the loss once a game is about to end.

It's the part where a good decision has to consider. But the majority here even me want to take the full risks and decide to wait for the final result.

No one ever knows the future, so there's never a 100% sure answer.

But at the end of the day, if you just won big, it's usually a good time to stop and take all the winnings. If you keep playing, eventually your money will run out as the odds in the casino are against you.

Yes no one know about the future. But the thing is that we can handle the our assets by good management.

Like you are saying we should get out our funds if we win. Naturally human is greedy. He thinks he will get more if he will bet again and again but at the end he face problems of funds lost.

We are talking about sports betting here and somehow, a strategy can be applied. Different from usual casino games where you will purely rely on their random algorithm and obviously, the house is really designed to give advantages to the casino.

You can't just say for a regular bettor that they need to stop after a big win and take all their winnings.

Anyways, the topic is not about stopping gambling. This is about what will be our possible approach when the "cash-out" option appears.

I can vouch for this , I have this experience that I gambled for 3 hours and triple my Money , but then suddenly Wifey called and I need to Go home immediately so i decided to put allt he money in single bet(I am playing local card game that time ) so telling my co players that this is my last game as I need to go home quicker and guess what? my bet fails and I go home with nothing , this is why we must not put our luck to the limit because all we can get is losses .

It is not that easy when you are really feeling the game and keep winning. I know that most gamblers, even when they win big they keep betting because they can't control themselves. Only those people who are really in need of money think of stopping. I sometimes can't control myself, so in the end I lose my winnings, but sometimes I also tend to run away when I've won enough.

This is called gambling. High risk, high reward. When you saw that you were up by $700, you weren't satisfied and thought you could make more profit. You decided not to cash out your profit. So you were taking more risk to get more profit. But things didn't go your way and you ended up losing everything. Now think, was it worth taking the risk? How much more profit you would have made if you took the risk? If it was for like few more bucks, then no, you shouldn't have waited till the end and should have taken your profit. If it was like a few thousand more bucks, then yeah, I would say it was worth the risk since you initially placed only a $70 bet.

do you have a process to avoid greed (or maybe not avoid but deal with it?)
what are some useful tools and strategies not to fall prey of your desires and be able to manage emotions after big wins and big losses?

these are some interesting question that come to my mind from time to time.

This is gambling on where you do need to make out choices, decisions will really be depending or basing up on how much risk you would really be able to put on and this is where choices do been mold up.
Each of these decisions does really corresponds results and if you do choose up on cashing out midway then its your choice but bare up on the money that you had gained up which is only a fraction
and its impossible that you wouldn't think about the whole winning amount and this is where emotions do really take place.If you are really that not being mindful about huge wins
then pretty sure you would be sticking out on cashing out early as long you do able to see that you are really that gaining.

It's a very difficult decision to make because the outcome is either the risk is worth taking or you lose. Sometimes, waiting until the very end or cashing out, as the OP said no risk no gain, but cashing out will put you on a much safer side and ensure that you don't lose all of your money, but it depends on the game. For instance, the Premier League match between Manchester United and Chelsea is an example of a risky one, but the way Manchester United played made it clear that they actually had the upper hand over Chelsea.

But if you can already see the temporary win you get and it gives you twice your bet amount, you can choose to stop and take the money before the situation changes. But there are also types of gamblers who don't cash out or take the winnings but instead wait until the match is over. That's because the amount of money won will be even greater, but it has a big risk too, especially if we don't know whether the course of the match will remain the same as before or there will be changes in the middle of the match. And as wise gamblers, we must know when to stop.

idk, doesn't sound so hard for me
it comes to putting on a balance "your desire to earn more" vs "your fear of losing what you got"

there are way harder decisions to make in life like deciding if you marry or by a bicycle.

If a gambler is not the greedy type then its better to always cashout before the end of a match especially during uncertainties times where the end is slightly unpredictable or the margin between the opponents is very small, there might be a drop as well frombthe expected odd but is just a simple application of wisdom in gambling and there are many reasons that might have led to this kind of decision.

1. When you begin to notice a drop in performance ofbthe team you selected

2. When they game is not already in favour of the side you supported

3. When a tragic event happoens at the cause of the match with one of the key performing players you confidence on

4. When your team receives cards either yellow or red

5. When you have already make some earnings with the first set predicted but not sure of the last result.

^^This is pretty much what are my thoughts about OP's situation. His initial bet, $70, is the key here. He was aiming to win 10x of his bet, and he wouldn't be fully satisfied with $389, or about 5x of his bet. $389 can't be a big money for someone placing $70 at once, so, you are trying to get what you really want, and you are ready to get nothing, and you don't want to stop halfway and get something which is not satisfying for you anyway.

Cash out is a very interesting option imho. I have seen it many time, but never used it. The button "cash out" really plays dirty on emotions. It always forces me to hesitate. Even if I made a silly bet like 1.10 and I am about to get money, this "cash out" always makes me think, but if (for example) other team scores on last seconds and I will lose my bet. I find it funny, that this option always offer you to take back less than you have placed, even though you are about to win and win much more than your bet.

For a small time gambler for sure this kind of amount is ready for cashing out for me its enough good profit because we know its gambling not all the time we have the chance to win twice or more at the same time in just one single game, sometimes this winnings can cause to brings back again with the 70 USD again as capital or less if op does not take a good run, but if you are a big time gambler and just a spare money and willing to take a risk its ideal to play more.

For me, not a matter of difficult or not. but more often decide to stop an making a cash out with a specific target. For example, if I start with $50 I will stop when I reach a minimum of $300. However, this does often trap me in bad results, because often when I reach $200 my winnings are forfeited. LOL.
But this can be a good point when we have to stop rather than not having a target when to stop because it can drain all the winnings.

Maybe when we can make the big winning on gambling several times, we should immediately stop and cash out before it's all gone in the next round. This often happens to us after we earn a lot of money or win a large amount. And, of course, we will regret it after we lose a lot of money because we already have time to withdraw the winning money. But what happens is that greed makes us continue to gamble and in the end, we only experience defeat instead of getting a lot of wins.
