assuming you risk your money to an underdog Prograis 3.75 vs Devin 1.22 and then Prograis luckily landed a snap punch resulting in a flash knockdown in the 1st round and the referee counts to 8. of course, you will be seeing the cashout option makes you win probably more than 30% if you'll cash out. would you do it or would you wait to find out if Prograis wins?  and what will you do if the fight goes the distance while Devin is also gaining?

let's say you compare this to Fury vs Ngannou which Ngannou knock down Fury and then goes the distance. will you cashout because it's already a sure profit or will you wait for the decision which is very uncertain?

Hmmm this is an interesting question to ask. If I ever bet on an underdog and he knocked down his opponent in the first round, I'd probably risk it til the final bell rings coz if he dropped his opponent in the first round then he could do it in the following rounds. But one thing to consider is how did he knock his opponent, like a lucky punch, sucker punch but counted, accidental headbutt or just a counted slip then I'd probably think about cashing out after this. However, with Fury vs Ngannou fight I'm hundred percent on Ngannou on this, won't even think of cashing out if got dropped.

I don't watch boxing but when I bet, I check other popular matches in diferent games. Ngannou had so high odds that I would probably use cashout immediately. If cashout is attractive for me, I use it and if it only gives me 10% or similar cashback, then I simply risk because there is not much to lose but there is a lot to win if I risk.
I don't know about Prograis vs Devin match but if I were you and I had an option to use cashout button during count that 8 seconds, I would push it if strike was very hard and I would also consider how often and how easily that person gets knocked out. There are people who have good chin and don't get knocked out easily. You have to consider everything when you make a bet or cashout decision.

I'd personally consider cashing out after that lucky hit and just watch the fight pan out on its own eventually. I know that in most cases in boxing, if one is already down for the count, there's a huge possibility that they cannot continue the fight, or if they can, they're already at a slight disadvantage against their opponent and will just lead to an eventual lost. Not to mention that it also adds to the points of the one who scored the knockdown. But personally, I want to be safe on the bet, and I'll just get the bread and watch the rest of the fight out of curiosity.

When it comes into this situation then i would really be that sticking into my bet until the very end because i do not really usually betting on underdogs not unless i do see some chance for
winning but if there's really indeed a time that im really that making those bets then i would really be going until the very end.Yes, 30% gain is already that good and thats why
everything would really be just that depending on a certain bettor since not all would really be just coming for entertainment or leisure but rather they would really be
tending to make money even on the slightest gain on which it isnt shocking that there would be those people who do make cashouts if ever have the chance.

It would really be that always depending on your own choice since not all would really be that confident and would really be trying to secure out if they were given the chance.
Totally different on my case on which i dont really make myself do really bothered about those unexpected knockdowns or hits and made out
some early cash out.

Depends what your goal is, I don't think there are any right or wrong answers are here.  If it's for any type of profit then I'd say yeah.  But if you are risk tolerant than why not wait and see if ypu can cash the whole thing.  A lot of times for me I bet on boxing to make it more interesting to watch.  So typically never cash out early as it deals my purpose.

Are cashouts even possible with boxing considering scorecards are not usually shown in real time ::) anyway once the game is on you better pick the right guy to win as you await for the results to come at the end.

Btw, if I picked the underdog and that cashout offer comes and it's with some profit ..am taking it first time no doubt but if it's the favourite most likely will let it play out as cashout offers are never attractive...

First round topped off with a lucky shot and favourite is down for that long am definitely getting my money and running!!!
Afaik I have seen players hunt for such markets just to catch the cashout because they know the second game turns to a 50/50 match then odds favour the underdog.

It depends on who is fighting in the case of the Haney and Prograis fight I'll cash out I know Haney is capable of making a rally he has been hurt before but he still manages to win a unanimous decision and in the case of Fury and Ngannou I'll also cashout Fury has been known to always wins the championship rounds and of course, there's politics in boxing.
If the match is not even the underdog chance is a lucky punch but if it goes the distance and the favorite has a chance to rally the favorite will still win so it's better to cash out when you are sure of big profit, I have seen this so many times the favorite get a hit, gets knock down uses his skill advantage and eventually win the fight, but of course, there's an exception though where the underdogs take over the whole fight.

I think I'll leave it and wait for the decision beside you already risked or bet on it when you know it's uncertain for an underdog to beat the champion. It would be a different matter if we're talking a thousand dollars here and profit is profit no matter how you look at it, if it's just a penny then risk it all the way.

I guess I'd cash out? The odds for the underdog are pretty high imo so there's probably substantial profit to be gained from there compared to waiting. It depends on how things went in the ring but I most likely will, he was considered an underdog for a reason and if I don't see any chances, I'm running. If I was betting on the opposite side then 100% as hell I'd wait regardless of whether he was knocked down in the first round or not. Rather lower risk compared to waiting it out when you bet on the underdog.

If i'm taking the underdog, i'll cash out once the amount is close to 80-90% of the payout, but it's rare to find a good crypto sportsbook with good cash out for all sports. In UFC or MMA betting, you're lucky if you can find a sportsbook that offers a cash out because, during my betting experience with UFC, all or most sportsbooks don't offer live betting for these sports. Anyway, that's what I would do if I somehow find myself betting on an underdog and the sportsbook I use found a way to provide cash out on UFC bets.

There are crucial moments in a boxing match which prompt the betting platform to disable the cash-out option. Many boxing odds are not even offered anymore once the fight begins. There's a big chance that cash-out is not anymore available once a boxer is knocked down.

But assuming it's still available, I think I won't cash out. Why should I be making a cash out when my bet is now slowly becoming a win. My fighter is already on the road to victory. When the opponent is floored down, the more reason I believe in my fighter. I think I will continue sticking to that bet until the end.

I don't know, but as a boxing fan, I wouldn't cash out early though, I wanted to see the upset being completed by the boxer, in this case, Prograis and then earlier we have a good fight in Ngannou vs Fury and we always got the win if not for those controversial score by the judges, (but it has been discussed already on it's own thread and it's very highly contested subject.)

So for me and to make the fight more exciting as we watch it, no early cashing out, if I lose my bet, that's it, no regrets whatsoever. At least you can see that the fight is really that good and you have a chance to win big money and that is the risk that you understand when you bet on the underdog.

If I can cash out already, I think I would do it. It will also depend on the situation. It's better to have that sure money instead of nothing but if I believe that there would be a big chance for the player that I'm betting on would win, I will hold on. It's all part of the fun right?

I would consider some conditions.
If you are comfortable with the possibility of losing the bet, then wait until the match ends and if you want a guaranteed win then lock in the profit.
Look at the current odds, if the odds have changed significantly in your favor since you placed your bet, you may want to consider cashing out.
Consider the state of the fight, if your fighter is clearly in control, you may want to wait for the decision to try to maximize your profits. However, if your fighter is struggling, you may want to cash out and guarantee some profit.
Trust your gut instinct, if you feel like you should cash out, even if the numbers don't make sense, go with your gut.

A lucky punch does not guarantee a win for the fighter in my opinion, yes it will put the other fighter on the back foot for a while... but most professional fighters can absorb that kind of pressure and it actually motivates them to fight harder.

I stay with my original bet and I hope for the best. In some fights one of the boxers will show more skills or they will look more fighting fit for the fight in the beginning... but the more professional fighter might be holding back to deliver a strong ending, when their opponent starts to get tired... so that strategy might fool some people to cash out early.   ;D

Unless the underdog knocks out the favorite, the match is still anyone's game still and there are a lot of times that the winner have been knocked down or sometimes slipped so that's not a good indicator that the underdog might win, for me it's who is more consistent on landing power punches and aggressiveness, with that parameter it's more likely to know if the boxer is likely to win although given how corrupt the boxing federation is, there's a possibility that the likely winner wouldn't be declared the winner, look at what happened to the Ngannou vs Fury fight, didn't Ngannou knocked down Fury? Who's got the belt anyway? In terms of cashing out though, it depends for me because if I'm not betting a lot in the fight, I might not mind losing my money riding it out till the end but if I bet a lot and I can see that the amount I can get out is pretty significant then I might consider depending on the circumstances surrounding the fight.

I have never bet on boxing, only on football. What I will do in that bet is if I see a profit greater than the amount of money I placed, I will cash out and immediately do it. Although if I wait until the match is finished, it will give me a bigger advantage, but I still have to see what the situation and conditions are. If I still have a chance to keep winning until the end of the match, I will let it go and wait until the match is over. Everything depends on the situation and conditions in the match and we have to be astute in looking at those situations and conditions. If we have won but the match can turn around, we should immediately cash out before we lose the money due to loss.

I will cash out immediately there are a lot of cases where the underdog scored a knockdown but failed to deliver a performance that warrants a decision, it is already a good reward but if you're a risk taker and you trust that the underdog can deliver until the end then you can go for it, always the underdog's chance is delivering a lucky punch, but if it extended until the last rounds the favorite can deliver a strategy where he can score a lot to take a decision.

Like in the case of Fury and Ngannou, Fury knows that he can win the remaining rounds all he has to do is rely on his boxing skills and that is to hit, run, hug, and counter something Ngannou failed to counter because it's his first boxing match.

those who picked Ngannou must have seen how much they have won if they cashed out after that 3rd round since the odds were 8.20. even in the later rounds, people are still rooting for Ngannou to win because there was no response to that knockdown.

they could never figure out which round they will ever cash out in that fight until it's too late. maybe because bettors are also hopeful that Ngannou will win. if such kind of fight once again occurred in a different weight class while this time i'm rooting for underdog Prograis, i will lose. i might just decide to cash out even at a loss. it could just be me but if a fighter like Devin Haney is the bookmaker's fave, the judges might also pronounce him in a UD.

If there is something I could learn from boxing, it is that in boxing fights where the favorite has very low odds, something like 1.20 or 1.10, it is unlikely that this boxer will lose the fight. There are few cases in which any surprises are seen. It may happen that the guy who is not being the favorite during the fight manages to overthrow the guy who is being seen as the favorite, but in these cases if the person bet on the guy who is not the favorite and realizes that he has a cashout option then I suggest that this person makes cashout while they still have that luck. because if that person doesn't make a cashout and expects that they will be lucky enough to win a bet, then they are making a mistake and making a mistake

At the end of the fight, this person will see that the favorite won the fight and that he lost a good chance of coming away with a profit. I'm not a boxing expert and when I bet on a fighter I don't think about cashing out and I don't watch the fight. So I haven't seen a cashout option yet, but given the time I've been betting on boxing, I hardly see any favorite fighter with odds of 1.20 or less losing the fight. when there are fights in which the favorite has odds of 1.30 and above, then I see them losing, but there are also few cases in which I have seen this happen. while in football even odds of 1.10 are not a guarantee of victory, in boxing it seems that things are better defined

This is where thrill,excitement,hesitance and other known feelings or emotions that would really be on such scenario and this is really indeed the fun part on which you are really that looking for
not unless if you are really just that making bets for the sake of money then you wont really be finding for these moments to be quite interest or something entertaining on your part.
Going back into the topic then even myself would really be having that kind of assessment on such fight whether that one is a lucky counter or hit which i might really be that able to
cash out early if its given a chance. You could really be able to see on your very own eyes on whose at advantage and it is really that indeed part of the fun.

If you do see some slightest hint that your bet would gonna lose then it would be wise on taking up that kind of cash out decision on early phase
but if you do have seen that there's a chance on beating the opponent then it would really be your choice whether you would really be waiting until the end
or would really be making out that immediate act as much as possible.

I'll make good use of the cashout option... I can't rely on the fact that it's a sure win when there's every possibility to claim atleast, a tangible amount above what you staked.... what if I'm being showed the other side of the coin just about the time I was supposed to claim my original potential winnings?..

morals; use the cashout button just when you have to... I've seen cases that alot of peeps allow games to play to the end, hoping to win a 'em gobs - the reverse is always the case.

Well, you mention boxing, but it happens with any sport, the difference is that in boxing we don't always have all the time, one blow changes everything.

I make a lot of in-play bets and the truth is I would say that I have less than 1% in cash out, another thing not all houses allow cash out all the time.

Anyway, I always go to the end, I make a lot of bets in lots of 20-30 so my bet size, if it loses, doesn't affect me, it just goes to the win or loss column.
The using cash out too much can mean that you are using money that you cannot afford to lose.  :)

In this case, I’d say I will wait ‘til the end of the match; either I win or lose. Pulling out in the middle will just leave me dissatisfied with the outcome especially if my original bet happened to actually won the match. In any sports anything could happen and that should be an enough reason to just bet on who you think would be winning the match or losing. If you happened to lose then just bet on other matches. That’s what gambling is. But if you prefer securing an early profit then that’s fine as well; we just have different strategies and way of dealing with our bets. Underdog or crowd favorite, both have a tendency to win and it is only the players who would determine the result. Learn to accept a losing bet and rejoice for what you have won with your bet.

I think it is more of a pragmatic approach to push that cashout button whenever necessary especially if you are watching the game live and somehow you see a hopeless situation to win. When you see you bet $50 and then you see your fighter starts to gas out, time to push the button to save at least $20 of that amount.

This is better in MMA fights than in boxing. The boxers mentioned tough ones which will happen this weekend. I think Progais vs Haney will end in a decision actually, just my prediction, and if you are going to watch out for which of them has the edge and you think you'd be losing your bet, a pragmatic approach is to cash out right at the 10th round upon playing as a judge yourself. When you see your fighter lost about 7 rounds, time to weigh the decision.

I normally won't cash out. When I place my bet on someone or a team, it's because I believe in him/her/them winning. I won't bet on a boxer if I think he/she will lose. So even if cashing out early already gives me a profit, I probably would stick to my bet until the end.

Even if I bet on an underdog hoping for an upset, I always think my bet is right. And an early knock down like what Ngannou did to Fury is validation enough that my bet is right. I may be wrong in the end but when the tide seems to be on my fighter's favor, that certainly won't be a time to doubt him. So there'd be no cashing out.

If you know who is the favorite and has a chance of winning, you should wait until the match is over so you can get the full winnings. But if you don't have much information about who will win, you're better off cashing out before things change. That's also what I would do in a football match if I knew who would win. But often, I, who don't have much information, still place bets, and when I see the profit is more than I expected, I will cash out. It depends on many things, and it also depends on your ability to read the situations that occur in the match. Waiting until the match is finished would be better if we were sure our choice would win so that it will depend on each of us.

I will probably wait until the end of the match as I've already risked my money to an underdog. We can say he just landed a lucky snap punch; the effect of that punch will stay for a while. Meaning, that the opponent's confidence will drop and give an advantage to the underdog. Also, clicking the cash-out button will result in dissatisfaction with the bet, I'd be curious to see how the match goes so I would probably sit and watch it till the end.

Even if the opponent is able to turn the tables, whatever the result of the match, it is still worth waiting for the match to end. It's not just right to pull out your money without seeing the end of the match.

It depends. I might consider cashing out to secure a profit, especially with the significant advantage and potential gain. However, if Prograis continues to dominate, I might choose to wait and see how the fight unfolds.
If Ngannou has already knocked down Fury and a profit is guaranteed, I might lean towards cashing out to secure the sure profit, rather than waiting for an uncertain decision.
Well this is just me. Decisions depend on individual risk tolerance and understanding of the situation. Just enjoy it :)

Every gambler has their goal in every bet even when what they are betting on looks likely to lose, some wait until the fight is actually over because no one knows how the fight will be resolved.
As you said for example Fury vs Ngannou it was clear that in the early rounds Ngannou had the advantage and knocked Fury down but at the end of the fight Fury was the winner with absolute points.
So the decision depends on the goals of each gambler.

Personally, I still look at who is fighting because if the fight is meeting between two great boxers then I prefer to cash out or cash out the bet so that I can be safer and make profit.
It just that if the bet is relatively small amount then leave it until the fight is over and see whether our favorite wins or not.

I knew that Fury would win but all the bettors were hoping that the judges would side with Ngannou because of the knockdown and because he is the more aggressive of the two, the bettors are still hoping until the announcement, so cashing out is still on bettors level of risk

And why not, The majority believes that Ngannou should have won the politics in boxing and will not let that happen because there will be a major shake-up in the boxing industry if this happens, so the boxing organization needs to protect himself Fury knows that all he needs to do is connect then hug and avoid getting hit

It could possibly happen, we all know Prograis has power on both hands so there's the possibility that he can score a knockdown, Haney knows how to get a win even if he suffers a knock down, but lets see if the same scenario happens.

I'll definitely cash out if it's a flash knockdown, a flash knockdown seldom hurts a boxer because he gets up quickly and shakes off the punch if this happens in the Haney - Prograis fight, Haney would be more careful and try to calculate Prograis moves, Haney has experienced getting hurt in his fight against Linares but he managed to get back uses his height, speed, and ring generalship to score a decision, the only way to score a victory against a big favorite is via a knockout that will result in an upset, but if its only a flash knockdown the underdog will only win the round, but the favorite will still dictate the fight.

We have the same style when it comes to playing a gambling. The only difference is I mainly bet on casino games. I'm not a newbie gambler anymore and I saw a lot of win scenario's who turned out to be a loss because of too much greed.

That teaches me a good lesson to cash out whatever I have made early because that is already a sure profit and it's better than coming out in the gambling place with a zero amount as that will only cause me a total disappointment. You only have the guts there to watch the fight eventually. I wouldn't do it because I'm afraid that my fighter will win at the very end which leads me to earn even more if I didn't do a cash out. That will also/only cause me a regret.

This only depends on the gamblers feel, you know, sometimes you could change your mind as you are watching the fight. Let's say you already have a quick profit of 30% from your original bet, that's easy money, right? But when you are seeing that Prograis could possibly win the match, you might be tempted to continue and hope you'll hit that multiplier which is 3.75.

I guess you need to have a plan before the fight, and just pull the trigger when necessary, as during the fight, there are lots fo mix emtion that might make you greedy.

or you could also cash out if you see him not gonna make it to the next round. that's another purpose so that you could only lose a portion of the money you stake.

ya you need a plan so it is good to watch out for the scorecard which of them has won most of the rounds especially if the fight is already in the last few rounds. because it's decision time whether to cash out, move to the other side, and bet for Haney by Decision. it seems like a good plan if the bookmaker allows it.
