Good day everyone.

I'd really need your advice on something I'm debating within myself. Okay the screenshots below is a running ticket that's been on since Sunday, I carefully selected 2 games for each day using the same market options for all the games( Home or Away to win).  I've been carefully watching the game every single day as everything has been going as planned, although there were times I panicked as some matches almost went bazaar. But thankfully everything went well. So today's the final day and I've been given an incredible amount as my available Cashout, so I've been waring against myself since morning if I should take the cash out or if I should just allow the game to finish playing. Honestly I want to leave the game, besides it's just 2 games left and the games are likely to play in my favor, but who knows, these things can be so unpredictable. What if I take the cashout and then the game plays ( which I believe will happen) then I'd be loosing over half of my winning, and then what if I leave the game to finish playing with intentions of taking everything and it goes otherwise. Please guys I need your advice, the first game starts in a couple of hours and I still can't decide on what to do right now.

HELLO EVERYONE

I PROMISED I'D COME BACK WITH UPDATES ON THE OUTCOME AND RESULT OF THE GAME. I SHOULD HAVE UPDATED Y'ALL EARLIER THAN THIS BUT I'VE BEEN PRETTY BUSY WITH STUFFS. AND SO I DECIDED NOT TO CASH OUT AND LET THE GAME PLAY THROUGH AND I DID. BUT UNFORTUNATELY ONE OF THE GAMES TOOK A NEGATIVE TURN AND RUINED EVERYTHING. I'M A BIT DISAPPOINTED BUT I'M STILL NOT REGRETTING MY DECISION BECAUSE THAT'S GAMBLE FOR YOU, SOMETIMES YOU WIN, SOMETIMES YOU LOOSE, SOMETIMES YOU'RE KEPT IN A TIGHT CORNER TO MAKE CERTAIN DECISIONS, SOMETIMES YOU MAKE THE RIGHT ONE, AND SOMETIMES THR WRONG ONES BUT THAT'S THE WORLD OF GAMBLE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT Y'ALL WOULD GONNA LEARN FROM MY EXPERIENCE BUT I DON'T REGRET MY ACTIONS AND IF I'M TO BE FACED WITH THE SAME SITUATION AGAIN, I'D STILL CHOOSE TO LET IT PLAY THROUGH.

I only use little amount to gamble and I do not cash out. With the matches that I am seeing, if I am the one, I am not going to cash out. Sometimes, it will only just be a single match which may be the last match that will make someone lose. I did it sometimes ago, I won all the matches but remaining one match with the lowest odd of 1.05 and I lost it. If you are winning already, you can cash out, but if you can afford to lose the money, why cashing out.

I for shorts prefer not to watch the games I bet on if I could. It creates a lot of adrenaline rush within the individual gambler and that would be some disturbing position to be in.

It’s not abnormal that the options for a cash out is always way less or at least half of the potential win but, you really have to understand two things here.

One, cashing out too early means, you’re still in profit and that’ll be at least 17X of your stake.
Having yo wait and you eventually win, you still profit.
Which ever one that happens, you get to be contented and focus on what is at hand than what is expected in potent.

Meanwhile, it takes just one game to void a prediction and leaves you with nothing. I’m sure you’re aware of that.

I took a quick look at your bet and you’ve chosen games from Bundesliga and Serie A in the 12 market options.
I must say, I don’t see how an X would be coming out of those two bets. If I were you, I’ll let it run. It’s something that could easily play out in your favour.
That’s my take but, it’s up to you.

If you believe you can win the bet and collect the whole prize, why are you in doubt about cashing out earlier? Are you fearful of losing money? Can't you afford losing the money you wagered? I believe that if you are insecure about this you should cashout. To maintain a bet till the end demands confidence and rationality from a gambler. When they are lacking, the consequences can be worse if something goes wrong, on the opposite of what was firstly expected. However, only you can decide what to do, because people here don't know your personality, therefore they don't know what outcomes will be best and worst for you.

Think about it, what is preferable: to lose all the money knowing you could have earned half prize or to win half prize knowing you could have won the whole prize? These are the two worst possibilities that can happen.

Your topic brings to mind this one already discussed some time ago when the OP has a similar question. You can read about it - Greed or risk (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5472056.0). You already know what you want, you can see it through to the end or you can cash out and be happy. If you allow the game to finish playing and end up losing it you may regret it but if you cash out, irrespective of the outcome, you will have no deep regret because you came out with something. Whatever choice you make, please return to give us an update on what outcome was. I'll be looking out for it.

Even with two matches left, it will be a disaster because it may be unexpected that one of these matches loses and you will lose the profit, so if this is a large amount of money then you hesitate to continue this bet it is better to cash out even if it is after the profit that should be.

I very rarely cash out midway because I know what is at stake a little but if you need money and don't want to lose it all then it's better to cash out than you hesitate to make this decision, unless you are ready to lose anything then there is no need to cash out wait until the remaining two matches are completed, if you are lucky you will get a decent win.

I have been in this kind of situation before when I was contemplating either to cash out or to leave it and then it was nearing time for the next event to start so I tried cashing out but network was very bad I almost cried as the next event started and I couldn't cash out but at the end of the match the game played and I thanked the network for not allowing me to cash out the game earlier, the option I used even played before the halftime and I was so happy I didn't cash it out.

Well in your situation, I will say you should follow your heart as if you lose the bet if it would not affect you negatively considering the fact that the cash out is even huge so it's left for you to decide as whether to cash out or not. This is the reason why I play a ticket twice so that I can be able to cash out one of the tickets and leave the other to run till the end.

I would personally cash out. Getting the full NGN 698K is great but you already have a sure profit right in front of you. It's better losing less than the half than not getting all of it so I would save myself from the stress and take the sure NGN 362K. I'm just being practical here but it's still up to you.

since you are winning i think you can just wait til it's over and take the N697,714 instead. cashout option is good if you are losing and to prevent from losing more, the cashout option free to hit. is the game still on?

but it's still an option for you, it all depends on you. after all, you are already winning, 362,000 is still a win. 458USD afaik is already a big amount in Nigeria but double that amount is bigger.

I have been in that situation MANY times before and your scenario feels like I am having déjà vu. I always chicken out early and I do not regret it, because 9 out of 10 times I lose those last bets.

I think you should consider how much longer you will gamble with the amount you can win now.... and not what you can win, if you do not cash out now.  ;) How much money do you have left to gamble with... will this give you more chances to win more?

Since I'm a brave gambler, I never did cash out or withdraw my bet, I want to see whether my prediction is correct or not. Of course different people have a different character and decision, so it's really weird if you seek a financial advice or something like that to the community.

You will regret if you receive the community suggestion.

What the user wants is to win as well as every other gambler but, can’t really decide on what is acceptable with a huge probability situation in the way. I suppose that’s the purpose of this thread and looking at how close it is to strike gold or should I say, Bitcoin.

If we look at the thread you provided in that adhoc link, I think the options and potentials are entirely different with the one on OP. I mean, the games in the link is the damned El-Classico, Barcelona vs Real Madrid. There is a lot of rivalry in that game. We can’t say the same for the games OP has placed bet on.

Also, the market chosen is one that allows for just anything except a draw which is very plausible in these games.

Thanks for the tip, it just helped reduce the tension and gives me more assurance to follow my heart, which is to let the games play through.

I had the same experience recently and that was the first time I had looked at a ticket that hasn’t ended, most of the times I usually bet with a little amount so I don’t have to keep checking to see if it’s time for me to cash out or not.

And this particular one I did, made me restless cause the amount that was available for me to cash out was significant and if I should wait for the last four games I’ll realize an even greater win just like in your case but the only difference between us was I did cash out what was available at that moment but in the end everything entered. But since you’ve decided to stick with the game I do wish you luck.

If one of those games involved teams like Barcelona vs Real Madrid. Then I sure wouldn't have opened this thread, I would have taken the cashout without a single hesitation. ;D

I will also advise him to decide this way, it's hard to decide if this is your first time in this position, I experienced this before and I had a good sleep after I cashed out even if I lost the chance to make a big paycheck, but if you go for it and lose everything you will have a sleepless night so its not a choice of the amount of money rather but how are you going to take it and how are you going to sleep with your decisions.

You have to be calm when faced with this situation the greediness within you is your worst enemy, whatever you decide and the outcome let us know so we can also learn from your experience, it's good that you posted it here.

Just do what your instincts says, here we can see that you want to just take the profits you made and still it's a win for you so be happy with what you made and just enjoy watching the remaining matches as a fan, not a bettor. Or that's what my choice will be if I were put in this position.

I personally do a cashout if my winnings is more than the gambling funds or capital I have deposited on my account. For example if I deposited $100 and I won another $100 then I would be happy to reap that extra money. As I can't afford to lose more than my limits I won't push hard. If I win a jackpot, there is no question to that of course money is money. 😅

Looking at the amount presented for cashout, that's almost half of the total amount to be won,  and it's really impressive to know that there are only two games remaining. I would advise you take the cash out your seeing, don't be too greedy, that cashout is more than the amount you've staked, why not collect it, because this is gambling, hence you become greedy you will end up losing out. So I advised you collect the cash out. Personally I've had such experience some time ago, I had to leave it for the entire game to play, even after I was shown good amount of cash out, I ended up regretting not cashing out because the last games went against my predictions.

I really don't want to be in your shoe Op  ;D :o or if I were in your shoe maybe I would have taken it, the cash out , so that I can at least avoid the pressure you are mostly into now.

Anyway, I like the cash out option because it allows you to run away with some and leaving some for another day but if you still get to another lucky day, you will still run off to leave some money behind you. It is actually up to you.

Regards to your potential, you already have a huge cash out from your potential with two games remaining. Logically, the reason I think the cash out is huge is probably that the game will favour you and they are trying to tempt you to forfeit some, but it is still under risk, anything is possible with gambling. You might still lose it.

But what I advise people who are in such dilemma is that you can cash out and use a huge bankroll to restake the remaining games on the option you want which maybe be same option you staked it before. Like you can restake it with 100,000 naira from your cash out of 300+ naira, with that you would have 200+ naira as profit if the restake didn't go your way but if it does then you have more potential.

I wish that you take a decision that will favour you but remember, I think they say a bed at hand is worth more than million in the bush  ;D


Sometimes this is one idea that makes us to go down even as when it is a very little thing that we could have avoided. I get your point though, to prove that you are actually master of your game or your predictions so that you will defeat fear but at other times it also pulls a gambler down.

It depends on how much you need the money or how much you value the bet. If I have the same parlay, I would press the cashout button on that ticket when the current payout is already worth close to $500 and it's big enough for most gamblers to be happy. In my view, it's not worth continuing the parlay because it only comes down to the last two legs and only requires one outcome to ruin everything. It might suck when they both hit, but i'd rather play it safe, even if I have to take the hit.

If you are in doubt about the remaining two games then taking the money is a much better option than continuing but possibly losing. The decision is in your hands because it is actually your own beliefs that determine the choice and I am also not sure about the opinion you are asking for because this is gambling where there is always no certainty. If you are confident that you can win the remaining two matches then you must continue to get a full victory so you can take all the bets you place.

From what I read you have knowledge of football having won several matches previously so it only took two matches to take full victory. The final decision is yours and if in doubt it is better to take what you have won rather than risk continuing.

if your goal is to win/achieve a profit you have to make a lot of cashouts (especially when you already have a good profit).

if you want to take a risk and feel lucky, wait for the final result but the higher the odds of an event, its more likely that it won't happen...

Yeah the thread is similar just that in this other thread  Greed or risk (https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=5472056.0) it emphasize more on the huge amount some gamblers used in betting games unlike this one that is seeking for opinion on either to cash out his game or allow all the events to come to end.
Basically, if I was on his shoe, there a saying that a bird at hand is worth more than millions in the bush as I will rather prefer the cash out since the cash out amount is also a huge sum of money like using #20,000 to get #362,063.27 is not a little money here as the stake amount has multipled to about 18 times so it's still at his own advantage instead of being greedy and lose everything.

The bigger the number of games the bigger the risk of losing the ticket and as such I always advice of cashing out as long as you make a decent profit if you cash out your funds.Even if the remaining games are of 1.05 odds they have the same chance of losing your ticket as games with odds over 2 have.Yesterday I cashed out a ticket I had put 30.000 IDR with Brighton to win,Villareal to win,Slavia Prague to win and Roma to win.As soon as I saw at a certain moment available for cashing out 100.000 IDR I did so as why risk it,of course if I had risked it I would have gotten 352.000 IDR but Roma did not win and as such I would have gotten 0 money.The same in this pattern here,better cashing it out.

I will not discuss the rest of the games you bet on, because that is based on your analysis, and only you know how it is. However, if this makes you worried and anxious and makes you think about it all day, I don't think there's any point in not cashing out since it's already bothering your mind. Because if the next game is lost, you can lose some of your profits and I think that this will definitely disturb your mind. So my suggestion is that you better cash out.

I don't know why some gamblers still ask such question that will make someone get agree at the moment, before you bet the game did you seek people advice before you bet this game or if you win this bet will you share money for those that tell you the right thing?, If you know that the remaining games will not cute the ticket, you can wait till the end of the games before you can cash out but if the remaining games cute your ticket, you will learn a lesson from it because we learn everyday from gambling center and some thing like this happened to some one in this platform because he refused to cash out and he lose at the end.

If I'm in your shoe now, I will cash out without seeking for any advice from people because anything can happen before the end of the remaining games that will make you happy or sad which are two things that happen in gambling.

So which one is being lucky, cash out or waiting for what you don't know what the outcome will be . If Op waits for the last game and finally get lucky on it he would definitely be over joyous but waiting beyond cash out time can also make him unlucky just like I understand the last part of your post. But I hope he comes back to update being lucky.

If you continue the match and lose, you will really regret it because victory is in front of your eyes. but if you cash out now before the match starts, you will have received a decent result, even if you win in the last match, you won't regret it because you have already won a decent win.

but it all depends on your own thoughts because the amount you see is very valuable to you or not and if the value shown is very valuable, make a cashout, but if the value is too small and worthless, just continue your bet until the match ends.

and remember, never feel sorry if you dont cash out and your parlay bet loses because for me something that is visible before my eyes is luck today that I have to take immediately without having to wait.

OP, if you know that you would not be happy and you can't afford to lose the money that you use to bet, it is better that you cash out and keep the little profit that you have made. Because it is better to make to little profit than losing the money that you used it stake for the bet.

However, if it is an amount that you can afford to lose, you can wait till the final game is over, because it is better to see the end of the outcome than you quit at the middle of it.

This is the same problem that most of us is facing on sportbet, and most times it is the last game that do cut your slip.

Greed is trying to take over you what I does most at times is that I will place bet in two places then one for cashout while the other one will run for full time to see the end results but if in a way those games didn't go as planned then at least I have made back my expenses thought this method has been working perfectly for me within any period I place bet if you must control greed then using that methods is more better than waiting for the game to play correct maybe along the line we might lose all at the cost of waiting for all game to play correctly as planned.

If you are already happy on the payout amount offered to you then cash out to solve immediately your confusion on what to do and to guarantee profit. But if you can accept with or without the full money then playing it because after all you dedicated your time and effort just to analyze the game.

It’s really up to you on how you accept things because you shouldn’t have this kind of problem if you are only risking what you can afford to lose. It seems like the amount of bet and the potential profit is already too mich that’s why it’s giving you a hard time.

It's quite a difficult decision, he would blame others if the games later played and he won. Don't know for sure what would be the right choice for Op, but cashing out is my advise to him, because it's rare to find gamblers who won the complete game. I've seen people who lost it all, instead of cashing out. The best option is having the money at hand, then enjoy the rest of the games. Losing out on this game could cause OP to have a bad weekend. For his mental health, taking his fund would make him happier than not. However the decision lies on OP to choose, considering how he felt watching the games he won. He wasn't rest assured. Passing through similar methods for the remaining games, can be heartbreaking especially when the team lose, but if he takes the money and end up winning the games later on, what would OP think of our advise?

The same goes with me,  but sure if I am to advise the ops,  I will go straight to tell him to cash out the money to avoid losing everything,  because ultimately that is what will likely happen at the end of the day if,  from what I have seen and experience so far,  multiple bets are likely going to result to lose and just as you likely said it may be the last game with the smallest odds that will cut the tickets.

Cashout, not worth just waiting for 2 game.

At least you are getting out by profit. Remember a good things about gambler is not how much you're won but you're walk with profit no matter how much is the amount. At least your parlay is success.

Just think, your parlay failed just because one last match lose ~XD.

Thats actually removing the real essence of betting in the first place on which you wouldn't really be watching on the games that you had bet on, but well i do agree into the sense that it
could really give out that kind of emotion on which you might be that impulsive and trying to cash out early on the time that you do see that the team you do bet on is on the lop side.
If you do have plans on trying out to finish the game then its up to you whether you would be watching or not since not all bettors would really be having that kind of good self
control and this is why it would really vary on such manner.

@OP, you are the ones who could really make out such decision.Listen to that inner voice that you do hear up into your hear and never ever consider on hearing out others suggestions and
following it because if you do and the outcome is different then that would really be leaving that kind of regret on which this is something that different if you do really follow
with your own decisions which i do really recommend this thing.

For me, I can't cash it out, but if you need money, don't hesitate to cash it out. But if you can afford to lose what you won, why not. Just take the risk, you only lose half of your winnings when you lose, but when you win, it's your lucky day. You have nothing to lose in short so trust your luck.

Indeed it would be up to the player on what to do; no matter how we would advise him to continue or not. If you are into bigger profit then it's valid to continue playing but if you want to secure the profit then do the opposite. We ain't too young for us to not decide for our own good. Our actions will always be valid just make sure to be ready of the consequences. No one knows what will happen next; your money could double but there's also a tendency for your money to just be a loss. I won't say this is greed; you won't happen most of the time which gives us joy and excitement which somehow confuses us with our actions. What's ideal is to only lose and amount we can afford, but in reality there's no such thing 'coz we are here for that drive which is to win.

Op, there is no Guarantee in football, in terms of final results, even when it seems going in your favor, there a say that a bird at hand is worth more than thousands in the Bush, 368,000 is big money in the country you are coming from and way higher than your staked amount #20,000. In my opinion, I will cash out at this point and use 20k, 50k or even #100k to replay the remaining 2 games and still be on the profit side, if your instinct is telling you that the game will be in the money, so with this, you will save yourself the pain that will come when after the game ends, and it didn't go in your favor, and both the capital and profit is gone.

I have had a scenario like this where a single game was holding up the and at the end it didn't go in my favor and since then, I never spare any meaningful cash out given to me.

You played the bet to win, and you are winning. A bird in hand is worth two in the bush, this is a popular proverb. Take what you have won, and be thankful for it. It will hurt more to loose it all, than to loose some. Evaluate your motives, because in this case it is a thin line between greed and risk. This is the festive season, and that amount of money will do a lot for you, and help you sort out many expenses that this season often brings without having to tamper with any amount of bitcoins that you have kept. You will not be a p*ssy to cashout now.

Cash out, and play the other games.

Honestly, my instincts tells me to let the games play through, I'm optimistic it'll turn out good, and I've just decided that's what I'll do. The first game starts in a minute. And I'll be sure to update the outcome of the game here on this thread.

Totally would really be depending on risks tolerance on which there are really indeed moments on which you would really be finding out yourself in torn between cashing out early or would really be waiting for the game to end.It will really be just that varying on a certain bettor since there are ones who could really afford on doing so until the very end and there are ones who are really mindful about on the profits that they are already making.
It is really something that do boggles up your mind on the time that you are on such situation on which you cant really blame out those people who would be making out those decisions basing up on the emotion
and the things that they do have in mind on that particular moment.

There's no right or wrong with this one on which you wont really be that be blamed out on whatever decisions you would be making since its your money so it is
really just that your full rights on what you should gonna do, therefore it would really be always depending on your in the end.

First of all, congratulations on the hard work you do. and, you get a decent reward for what you do. Honestly, I can't give you the right advice as a fellow gambler. But actually, you don't need to worry because every week there will always be a league that offers football betting opportunities. I'll just say, it all depends on how your wisdom is involved in what you are struggling with within yourself. But, let's just say I'm you. There are some cases where I will keep my winnings.

For example, when the world cup matches are still being held. or, the Champions League for several crucial matches, especially those that I have previously monitored and observed. Apart from that, if nothing else is more interesting. I will take the winnings I get, and leave what I need for other betting sessions. What you need to remember is that not every bet we make will always bear sweet fruit. Moreover, if I refer to your screenshot, you only bet on the top team, where the odds are very low. Remember, not always the stronger team will win the match. Also, not every betting session will be as smooth as we hope and plan.
So, my question to you is, isn't this money more than enough for you to withdraw? If not, it's your right to continue. If so, I will only say one word, good luck in your next bets.

Kinda hard to decide which is the best because there are 2 games left, if its only 1 then you must watch the match live and be ready to place a bet so no matter what the outcome is = you will be in profits.
Pauli vs Hamburger kinda hard to predict because both sides can score while Juve might win even with only 1-0.

If you have the opportunity to withdraw profit, then why not do it? If you obviously make a minimum deposit which is enough for several games, and you do not reach the amount you would like to withdraw, then this is one thing, but if the winnings allow you to withdraw your profit, then it is worth doing. I understand that many people play without much hope of winning, but if you are constantly losing, don’t you want to stop doing it?

That winning will allow withdraw of his money, but the amount of money he would win if he cash out is half of the total amount that he would win if he let all the matches to finish. But matches can be disappointing, unexpected outcome can later happen. I also will advise him to just withdraw than to be greedy.

It doesn't matter what amount of the total winning in cash out and if it doesn't bring in the total winning based on the total odds on a 100% basis which must meet all the games winnings, only then do we have total satisfaction of our bets most especially if you stake the bet with a small amount that you can afford to lose if the games do not go your way.
So for that, I won't take a half of the total payment as payment since I can wait and take the 100 at least if I am lucky enough to have won that amount in accumulations.

I think if you are hesitant enough to continue playing, it would be better to withdraw from the bet, and take the cash. A hesitation indicates that you are not confident enough to continue, and a hesitation can also indicate that you are not capable enough to lose your bet. And rather than ending up with a regret, it's better to withdraw as soon as possible even though the next 2 matches are promising enough for you to get back to winning. But still, the name of the prediction is far from certain.
I just advise never to bet if you are not capable enough to do that, and by capable I mean not only about material and not only about knowledge as well as the ability to analyze, but mentally also you must be able to accept everything, where when getting a win is not too excessive and when getting a loss does not become a burden on the mind that leads to regret.

Good idea, you are suggesting the right approach with all the situations and conditions that are very likely to occur, if you are already in a favorable situation then obviously it is an opportunity for you to make that profit a reality by withdrawing it and enjoying it directly. But on the other hand unfortunately not everyone can do that, it seems quite difficult, with such circumstances they will think it is better to take advantage of the opportunity which means choosing to continue because they think they will be able to be more fortunate than what they have got before which means pursuing something bigger.

Not everyone is able to keep their promises at the beginning of their planning, such as for example to make withdrawals when they reach a certain amount, something seems a little lacking if they don't add something to that condition, maybe you know what they will do, yes it is greed. Especially for gamblers who come with the intention of winning, then obviously when they get a win then they will feel that it is their lucky time and after that they will take advantage of the situation to bet with a larger amount, but what happens? yes all previous winnings are lost and regret. The point is that in any condition, winning or losing we must be able to put limits to stop and rest.

It all matters with satisfaction and contentment on the money that you are getting because if you do like to get that 100% payout then for sure you would really be that going into the end of line or
the game but if you are contented with the current payout that you are getting then its not bad to cash out early. A profit is profit no matter how small or big it is, it will always be depending
on you, whether you would be cashing out or not. Just like the rest been saying that it would be better to follow your own decision rather than on following on someone.
2 games might be that too near and if you are confident that those remaining games will be a win then go ahead and finish it but if you do have doubts
then it isnt bad to cash out early.

I think I share the same view as you. It will be painful if one or two games cut off these games this is why I will cash out immediately. I know high-risk gamblers are willing to take the risk, but I am not in that category. I know it will be more profitable to take the risk but I will not forgive myself if I finally lose the game because of greed. Winning N362,000 (half of the win) is also a big deal, I have never won such an amount in a long time. This win will make the holiday memorable and exciting. But it is up to the OP to make his decision, after all, it is his money. But my final advice is to withdraw the win now because gambling is unpredictable.  

After reading all your posts I'm sure you've made up your mind. You want to keep playing. Why are you asking us if you know what you're going to do?
If I told you to cash out, you wouldn't do it because you're confident. Let's face it, you're looking for confirmation from us, that's all.

Is $400 a lot of money to you? Because that's what's at stake at the moment. You either leave with $400 or wait and potentially win another $400. If that amount is life changing to you, like it would allow you to buy a used motorcycle that would allow you to commute, or would pay your debts, I think you should cash out. If not, keep playing.

I used sporty often time without number and I know very well when it is necessary to cashout but you see that your last game, double chance will happen because Juventus has history of conceding goals from Monza but this season is different as Juventus is fighting to move to top of Seria A and they need this match to complete that points to standout on the standing and Monza been walking like a snail in standing will want to win them as well to move up in the standing, even in there last 5 matchs they don't have draw in their history, one must win in FT.

However, if you fear that you will get nothing at the end of the day, why not do it 50/50, use the slide and cashout the half of the option they gave you(150k) and leave the rest, if the game goes as you expected, you will get additional win of 300k and together will be 450k, that is good management in my opinion than lose everythinh including your wager, atleast you will know that you are in safe hands and you didn't lose a single kobo to sporty.

I already wanted to have warned you to make a cashout because the two remaining games are very complicated and unpredictable games, at this moment humburgo is playing and it's 80 minutes of game and they are tied, and I see in the photo you posted that if the game ends with this result then you will lose your bet and if you did not cashout then you will no longer have this cashout option. so you will lose everything when you had the option of making a profit, the biggest problem with people who keep making multibet bets with many games added to the parlay is that greed completely blinds them to the point of not making rational decisions that are advantageous for them. For example in your case, you were already making a lot of profit, so why didn't you cashout as quickly as possible?

The answer is very simple, you want to win more, when you see the amount you have currently won in relation to the amount you could still win if you get the last 2 games right, then you immediately think that you should wait to win more money, that is, greed It has already taken care of you and this way you will be wasting profits because you are always chasing more profit, and at the end of the day you will be at a loss and your bankroll will run out and you will be forced to put more money on the betting site. In my opinion you need to forget about greed and you need to accept doing cashout and be satisfied with the money you earned, remember that it is much better to be earning little than to be losing constantly

I would say Good Luck to you. You can win and lose so be prepared for both scenarios. Gambling is a game of risk. You gamble, you take a risk (as you are doing now). Also if you do not gamble thinking you will lose, then you again are taking a risk as what if you have won?


He also wants us that we also suggest him to keep playing. When a person is a confused state of mind, he needs backing from other persons as the OP is asking from us and he will agree to only those who will suggest him to continue playing.

Anyways we are still waiting for the results of your bet OP?

it is to late for the advice cause one of the games is already running and is almost over. Last time I checked it was 2 all, fingers crossed that one of the teams scores in the final minutes and swings the bat back in your favor and you will be given a bigger cashout option.

But next time you are in a situation like this, use a trick I got from a book to put things in perspective.

Weigh all of your options using this format;
- What is the worst possible outcome if I do this (insert what you have to do, in this case it is to cashout)?
- What is the best possible outcome if I cash out?

- What is the worst possible outcome if I do not cash out?
- What is the best possible outcome if I do not cash out?

---

a. The worst outcome is that the games all enter and you miss out on the maximum potential winning
b. The best possible outcome is the games do not enter and instead of having no winnings at all, you take the cash out reward.

a The worst possible outcome is that the remaining games do not go as planned and you leave with nothing.
b. The best possible outcome is that the remaining games go as planned and you win the max reward.

Weigh this focusing on the worst outcomes to know which you can cope with and make your decision.

Good luck and I hope you did the right thing.  There is nothing for us to do about your dilemma since it is your money, the win and losses are all in your own.  And since you have taken the path of pursuing the bet, then all I can say is that I hope you are right in your decision.  Waiting for the update of your bet and I hope it is a postive one. :)

Those what if of yours will never end, trust me. If that amount is good enough for you to make you happy then withdraw all of it, yes cash them out right now. Because you may never able to see that happen again when you fill all of your what ifs. But, it's all your money and account and if you are believing yourself that you can do better and that is for you to continue.

Then, all you need to do is to continue and let the half lose. And another what if will emerge and if you think that it's not going to be enough for you to recover the other half then use your other half in recovering it. It never ends, right? And that's why if you're thinking that you're good already with that amount. There is no need for you to think a lot but just to withdraw it rightaway is going to make things end together with those what ifs.

I think the game is over now and the match ended in a draw. I believe this was not the outcome OP was looking forward to and I hope they changed their mind last minute to take the cashout option, if not, do not be too hard on yourself, you were optimistic about your possibilities and went with your gut feeling which is natural.

- Jay -

This is a very delicate situation and everyone would treat the situation according to how he or she deem fit. For me, I have faced this situation countless times and most of the times I just weigh the situation to see the possible of me not cashing out if I will be affected greatly by the decision or I really need to take the risk and become someone who might regret later ;D. So I just go with the cash out and let everything rest since the profits I have received is way bigger than the money I used to stake the bet.

They are two different cases. The above thread and the one you mentioned might look the same, but they are not. The one you mentioned was a thread, in which I was the OP. I mistake the staked amounts with the cash out amount, which was not visible, so the public don't know, if the cash out amount is equal to the stake amount or even more than it or less. It's a different case here. 
 
Hier this Op, stake little and have a chance to cash out, or just wait and see the outcome of the game, which is likely to be what someone needs: a strong mind for considering the amount to wager and the potential winning amount. What he has available for cash out is a big money, and if you don't, then again, what could be won is also tempting. It's just a decision the OP need to convince himself on and nothing more than that.

Your gambling technique is OK, with a small amount you will not be too bothered if you lose the bet, because it's only a small capital that you actually put in the bet. But despite that, if you're in the hot seat, seeing what your small gamble capital can earn you, it'll take real gut not to cash out. My advice to the OP is if he has a pressing financial obligation now, that he needs extra money to take care of, then it's better for him to cash out and use the money to solve a pressing need. On the other hand if he's financially buoyant, then there's no need to cash out, let him then see the game through to the end and accept whatever outcome, after all his supposed to gamble for fun, no really to make money.

From my point of view and as a gambler, this decision is not a difficult one for the op to make if he's so interested in profit making in his gambling business. The amount used in staking the bet as shown by the op is  less than $20 going with the current exchange rate and the op has already made ×5 profit from the amount seen in the cash out so I will suggest to the op to cash out the game and take some part of the money to rebet the same game or select another game to play.

I will also suggest that the op employ another method of gambling in football by flexing the bet so that when one or two matches fails to turn out as predicted the op will still be paid.

I thought the OP would have been on the thread before hand to give us the result of the games and bets from the taken decision but, can’t find any and as such, I’ll deem it fit to announce that, CASH OUT was the better option as it turns out, the result of the games played as follows?

Market gambled on was 12 (Home or Away)
Results:
St. Pauli 2:2 Hamburger SV (Draw = Lose)
Monza 1:2 Juventus (Away = Win)

I would have fallen prey to waiting as well as, I had some confident in the game and the bundesliga side to be a goal scoring side. The over 3.5 goals was there for sure but, they just couldn’t get a win.  Sorry you had to lose OP, it was a good game and good choice until now and that’s the risk of not cashing out and having your eyes fixed on the big wins. Better choice and luck next time.

I would think this was the last response from Op on the thread and probably he went on to allow his game continue and not to cash out. If he didn't cash out then he lost all but if he did then he is luckier and would have been here to announce it.

So we know what it is, he probably is still angry with him self for losing half of his potential win to risking a chance for the full pack.

Unfortunately, I don't know if that would also be called greed or not being smart at gambling.


And this is the important part of my first response to his post. I have seen instances where gamblers also do that when they are in such dilemma. If Op had done that then he would also be happy by now.

Unfortunately, that is what gambling is. There is never an assurance to a game no matter how beautiful it is and moreso, this experience may put fear in op's emotions if he has not experienced it before.

for the original poster, this experience will be one that he will talk about for a very long time. It teaches a lesson that's our instincts are not always correct and sometimes common sense is a better choice than instincts. If there was a way to confirm you will see that many of the people who advised you to be a gambler and wait your bet to the end would have cashed out a long time ago but because they were not the one at the hot seat, they could easily be able to tell you to wait till the game ends. This is a lesson for the OP and for other gamblers who will be in that same situation soon.

I can imagine what op will be feeling at the moment. He might develop high blood pressure from the thinking of his "supposedly foolishness " for not cashing out a very big amount whilst he had two more games to go. Wow it was a great blow.

He would have been one of the happy people this December season but now that happiness may be "different ". You have to have this experience to know how it feels.

He has to forgive himself first before his family, friends or people that know about it will forgive him.

This is your last post here in Bitcointalk we wonder what happened and what decision you have taken, maybe it's because of the time zone but I hope you inform or update us so people will learn how to react in case they have the same experience as yours, its hard to be in this situation the first time I have not been into this kind of situation so I will follow this thread and check your course of action and how comfortable you are in taking that action.

Almost the same thread actually already exists and you want advice or advice on what lies ahead regarding various bets.

Personally, if I had an opportunity like this before my eyes, it would be better to take advantage of it and be able to enjoy number of benefits that are well deserved.
However, if you are sure about all the bets, you can wait until all the matches are finished, but that is risky because there is also the possibility of mistakes that can result in defeat.
My advice is to really consider everything, don't let all existing profit opportunities disappear in an instant and cannot be returned.
Remember that opportunities like this cannot be obtained easily and maybe this is big opportunity that you can get, so do whatever it is with full consideration and confidence.

It is indeed bit confusing when faced with an opportunity like this because there is always doubt in every choice that will be made.
If you withdraw, maybe it could be match that goes according to plan and you will regret it, but if you continue, you may also experience mistakes and lose and you will also regret it.

I tried re-reading the posts made by him and he was only involved in gambling on a slightly smaller percentage, so letting him continue the remaining two games would not make him lose any big money considering the use of a small budget. The decision is still based on confidence, but if I were faced with the choice I would let the remaining two matches continue because even if a bad scenario occurs or suffer a defeat, it actually won't result in too big a loss.

Most active gamblers will probably choose the continue option because they will think about risking their winnings completely even if they end up losing and losing some of the money from their previous winnings. Satisfaction for gamblers is usually to finish the game with any result and we will continue even though the initial bet has won, at least that's what I've experienced in gambling for some time.

It depends on how often you come close to winning a bet or how many times you have won your bet. If you have always been losing, you would be tempted very much to cash out or if you have a pressing need for money. Anyway, we all deal with cash out differently. Some gamblers don't really like the cash out option, they feel it deprives them of the full potential winning when they cash out and it wins but what about when you don't cash out and it loses, those gamblers who support cash out have that as a reason that they use cash out. That's individual differences in gambling and the use of cash out.


Well that depends on if he is an active gambler that does a high staking but I doubt he is, the more reason he came to solicit for advise. If he is an active gambler, he must have been seeing such cases and would have by now decided on how to be handling cash out issues. There are different levels of cash out, small or big cash out depending on how much used in the staking and if the gambler won't have high blood pressure if he allows the cash out go and ended up not winning the game. I think he is not a big staker and that money would be very much needed to him.

Hopefully, he'll come back to the thread and provide an update on the bet so we know what the outcome of the bet was. If he wins, we will also be happy and will congratulate him. But if he loses, well, that is another experience for him so he can learn not to be greedy after knowing the temporary results of the match. Most gamblers will become more greedy after they see the results of their temporary winnings and still want an even bigger win, for which they have to wait until the game is over. Yes, they can get big wins, but they also have to know that they will only sometimes be able to get them. So be prepared for whatever outcome of the decision you take and accept it.

The beauty of cashout is that it affords gamblers the opportunity to run away with temporal winning for that gambler who is skeptical about winner takes all, so he wants to share part of it but that gambler who feels comfortable should allow his game to go on until he takes out all the potential but then it is risky and more painful if you have a huge cash out from your potential and losses it.

Cashout has been of very tremendous help for gamblers. In my country before the introduction of cashout around 2016, gamblers really found it difficult to win or to win huge or reasonable sum of money but now the situation is different as most gamblers rely on cashout and many have seen their action for running away with the cashout because the remaining games were not successful.

Agree to this. Some of the local bettors here use cashout efficiently by creating a parlay bet with huge odds then cashout whenever few matches already won since the cashout amount offer is already huge due to the intensity of the total odds.

I rarely use cashout myself especially when I only have 1 match away to my parlay win because I bet with the intention to win all the match that I pick. There’s an advantage and disadvantage on using this cashout depending on what’s the goal of the gambler.

HELLO EVERYONE

I PROMISED I'D COME BACK WITH UPDATES ON THE OUTCOME AND RESULT OF THE GAME. I SHOULD HAVE UPDATED Y'ALL EARLIER THAN THIS ( YESTERDAY) BUT I'VE BEEN PRETTY BUSY WITH STUFFS. AND SO I DECIDED NOT TO CASH OUT AND LET THE GAME PLAY THROUGH AND I DID. BUT UNFORTUNATELY ONE OF THE GAMES TOOK A NEGATIVE TURN AND RUINED EVERYTHING. I'M A BIT DISAPPOINTED BUT I'M STILL NOT REGRETTING MY DECISION BECAUSE THAT'S GAMBLE FOR YOU, SOMETIMES YOU WIN, SOMETIMES YOU LOOSE, SOMETIMES YOU'RE KEPT IN A TIGHT CORNER TO MAKE CERTAIN DECISIONS, SOMETIMES YOU MAKE THE RIGHT ONE, AND SOMETIMES THR WRONG ONES BUT THAT'S THE WORLD OF GAMBLE. I DON'T KNOW WHAT Y'ALL WOULD GONNA LEARN FROM MY EXPERIENCE BUT I DON'T REGRET MY ACTIONS AND IF I'M TO BE FACED WITH THE SAME SITUATION AGAIN, I'D STILL CHOOSE TO LET IT PLAY THROUGH.

Holy f*ck…

I like what you said in your post “it’s gambling”. We all knew yesterday that they will always be two possible outcomes when it comes to gambling and unfortunately for you yours turned out to be the one that is not always pleasant to the ear.

Be warned before hand that you’ll see some comments stating that you should have cashed out when you had the chance and that you allowed greed to take over, just don’t listen to them you did what you thought was best and you also had the courage to come back to the forum to give an update that’s good of you.

In the gambling,the experienced gambler will do the get away with the dollars instead of losing the entire dollars.Now it was seems you had enough fiat in your wallet,So better to withdrew the funds and use for the basic needs.Because after get  into the gambling,we may sacrifice the lot of things.So you had huge fiat and withdrew the funds and use the funds to mange the desire one by one with this money.What you will do,if you loss thee entire money by keep playing the same game for the longer period of time.Every gambler will get some panic while playing the same game because of we use of the real money into the gambling site.But it was happy to see your big win from the gambling site,better to withdrew the funds.It help you to prevent some of the further loss by playing longer period.

Indeed, I was fully aware of the risks behind my decision before taking it. You know what they say, too much expectations comes with too much disappointment. If I hadn't expected that I'd loose and only expected to win the game, then you bet the disappointed would have been way more than unbearable, but I expected it. And everyone one knows gambling is a risky trip not for the feeble minded lol. I've lost way more than this so it's nothing new.

And for those that'd think or say I made the wrong choice, well good for them, everyone is entitled to their own opinion and it will be well appreciated. But just like you said, I did what I felt was the best thing to do at that point, and you bet I'd do it again if I get the chance.
Thanks for your words mate, it's well appreciated.

It's a good one op, as you do not let allow fear to make you cash out the game, if it is me, I will do the same thing as you did, I will not catch out the game because gambling is all about risk and if I or a gambler do not risk wisely, the gambler will end up not gaining anything rather than losing everything.
However, if you are in such position again, you have to just follow your mind and not allow the love of money or fear to make you cash out.

Nice one OP. You're a true gambler who knows how to risk, that's one quality most gamblers don't possess. I give you that one. Too bad I don't have any sMerits, I would have awarded you some good number of merits for this thread. I've been in this position before, in my case the money in question was way bigger so I got some criticism from friends and family who heard about it but I didn't let that bother me, so don't let whatever anyone tell you about your decision bother you because I know that, one day, you'll get another chance and then, you'd be singing a different song OP.

I wouldn't say this is a tough situation. You are just making it tough on yourself. But here's the thing, it's your call at the end of the day. Asking random people online is okay for opinions, but remember, they're not in your place. It's your money on the line, not theirs, so their advice might not be as cautious as it should be. And most people will just tell you to take the risk because if you lose the money, it won't hurt them a bit.
If you're a risk-taker and feel confident about those last two games, then maybe give it a go. But if the thought of losing what you've already potentially won is bothering you, cashing out could be the smarter move. Half a win is better than a total loss, right?

Do not cash out a gambler is a risk taker. If you do not take risk as a gambler you would have no victory and no stories to tell. This is the stuff that gamblers are made of. Be stop looking at the slip until the whole game ends. From one gambler to another may the games be in your favor.

I'm sure by now the game Mut be over and your fate decided already but then if I'm to make any suggestions, it will be for future reference purposes,. nevertheless I will give my two cents in this, and this will be my personal sesolve if I were to be in this position.

Honestly I will cash out first if I check out the odds and I'm not sure of it, here's what I will do before cashing out, I will calculate the remaining odds and compare with the total odd, the. Chen how much is available for cash out as compared to my stake, if it's above x10 which obviously it is according to your screenshot, I will take out my capital along side a little profit, then restake such that the new out come will equal the balance when subtracted from the initial win, that way I will stay risk free and if it turns out in my favour I will still win regardless.

Sorry about the outcome man. We all know it is gambling and do as much as possible try to follow our guts but it does sting a little when you lose out and the closer you are to the prize the more it feels like you lost the potential reward and not just your stake.

I like your positive approach to it and hope you get more successful bets in the future.

Alot of times i have experienced a bad trend and which have made me want to consider some factors that will contribute to the way i go about my bet and what offers i followed, although some time i have use cash out to make a good profits from a vet that could have lost if i waited to the last minute and game in my tickets, reason for my cashing out was that i have staked the game with a high amount in bet and with just a 3 odds collections of two games.

The first game was already a win and I was waiting for the second half of the second game, and while the cash out was at 80% of my total winning amount, I stroked the cash out button and a few minutes after then, the opponent equalized and the match ended against my ticket which was an experience to me.

Although some other times there are odds and situations that if cashed out you may end in the negative direction and also possibly end up cashing out a little amount in cashout while the game will end in your favour which at that time you already in lose, this happen when your game is already losing in the match but you still have open cash out offer open to you.

Welldone mate, that's the feat of a good and tight gamble there, having the power to withstand all the pressure of not cashing out the game because I have been in such situation before and for my own I had to do the cash out because after outweighing the risk involved in the remaining games I had no option than to cash it out because I felt the need for it and in my case I was lucky as the remaining two games all ended in a wrong prediction.

This is the take home as a lesson depending on the one we want, either to allow a cash to run or to cash it and consequences of which we will bear at the positive or negative side of it at the end.

However, this has show the real operation of cash out and I appreciate the courage of Op. Gambling has two expection, either a win or a lose.


Hypothetically, if you have a 16million naira (16,000,000) potential to win with two games remaining and a cash out of about 8 million (8,000,000) to run away with, would you take same decision you took?

The Op staked like 20,000 and was given a chance to cash out 300k+, which was close to 400k, and yet, as someone who truly believes in his game or is determined to take whatever that comes from the game, he decided not to cash out and hoped for the whole 600k, which later ended up sideways – which according to the OP is a decision he did not regret.
 
On the aspect of having 8 million Naira cash out from a game that can give 16 million, if allowed to finish the play, I think the Op won't take the risk this time. Dieses ist because the 300k cashout, which he overseen, could be the result of the OP having such money in his possessions, and not just his gambling, I believe.
 
So 8,000,000 is way too much, and even someone like me won't hesitate to make a quick cashout. Looking at it this way: If I don't cash out, I'm the one to lose when the game goes sideways, and if I do, I will be gaining when the game cuts, or even if it doesn't, I still don't lose, as I have something to go home with.

If you cant do partial payout and you do actually need this money in the near future now or in next months then yes cash out.  Well done but if you are thinking you need the money then stay sensible.   Genius once can be repeated and best thing is to exit with excellence and remember it as a positive bet outcome.  Losing at this point would be a negative and make you forget what got you here to start with.   Of course this your decision depending on if the money is spare and just leisure or you are requiring usage and payment of bills etc.   

Most precisely OP, you're not far from the truth lol.


My cashing out would be dependent on a few facts which I'd be putting into consideration, first of, how much did I use to make the stake, could I afford to loose it, is 16,000,000 enough compensation for me? These factors and a few more would determine if I'll d he cashout or if I'd still stick to letting the gam play through, i believe you understand what I mean

When you make a bet like this you are looking to gamble period. So, cashout is never really an option IMO. Now, if you make it to the last game I would look for a way to hedge my bet and guarantee me myself some sort of profit, but that's the only if you make it to the last leg. Sorry you lost, maybe next time you'll have a better result.

Thanks Mate. And yes it does sting a little sometimes, but have you as a gambler ever felt defeat whenever you took a decision to make a cash out, regardless how mouth watering the cash out might be? Sometimes in gambling, it's really not about the partial compensation that gives us that satisfaction we desire but the full potential win, so it's like, it's either that or nothing, that way, no matter how much the cash out is, you'd feel like you'd be making a great mistake if you took the Cashout. That'd be cutting out the fun part lol.

Mh. I don't know about your opinion, but regardless of the outcome OP could have gotten, I am note sure any gambler is supposed to base their actions on the opinion of others, like I believe a gambler is supposed to be 100% responsible of those choices, otherwise it could spoil the gambling experience or even worse: it could drive the gambler to blame others when luck is not on his side.
Or at least, that is the way I see it. That is the main reason why I would never advice someone to either cash out or continue to risk their wager in a sportbetting session.
Anyways, I wish you better luck for the next time you decide to bet on sports, OP. At least you are handling this defeat and loss as a very mature person.
Have a good night.

If you have a target that you will gamble until the time that your gambling money cannot be cashed out. If you think so, you can cash out your money. But if you think you will gamble again with the amount you are thinking of cashing out, you should leave the money in your account without cashing out. You should ask yourself whether you want to gamble or not, if you get a good answer to that question then think about it and make a decision. Gambling is not something to impose, since you have to take financial risks in gambling, the decision is yours. If you feel gambling is safe for you then you can gamble if you feel you need to cash out you can cash out the amount of money you have won.

When we enter the field of casino gambling, the risk taker will consider you a gambler, and then suddenly they will ask you whether to cash out or not. It seems that you don't know what you are doing here; what is that?

In the first place, we should know ourselves and why we gamble, right? At the end of the day, it's still your decision to follow if you don't like the replies of those who will post here on the topic you chose. So, it seems like your question is also ignored.

You're absolutely right OP, the decision is entirely mine to make, but what if what I already decided to do isn't completely the right thing to do or maybe I'm missing something. It wouldn't hurt to use an extra POV right?


Exactly one of the exact reasons I decided to let the game play through, if I had cashed out, I would've still used the money to place another bet, so it's technically the same thing as the outcome would still be uncertain, so that's why I decided not to take the cash out and let the game play through

Have watched that topic as well , and yes i was looking for this to share here but you got me first so thanks for sharing, these 2 seems to be almost the same and about making a decision when you are already in Obvious win? trust nothing but leaving from the table what will save you .
If I am the one to decide , then I will leave and might not come back for the next couple of weeks in gambling.
Look at the photo you shared and what OP brings here., they are all confused to what to do , when the clear answer is withdraw and rest , enjoy your winning in other places not from another gambling activities.

Quick question, WHY DO YOU GAMBLE? WHAT'S YOUR BANKROLL LIKE? The answer to these questions will determine your decision when faced with this challenge. To you the only option here is clearly to take the cashout and leave happily, and thereby make you consider this OP as greedy or whatever you can think of. But have you ever asked if you both tap the same gambling motivation from the same source or if your bankroll are the same. Let me ask you a question, if you've got $100 and then you stake a bet with 0.2$ to make $2 and then you're offered a cashout of 0.8$ would you gladly take it and leave or you'd just decide to let it play through because you can afford to risk $0.2 just to gain $2?

Taking risks in gambling may indeed result in us winning and being able to cash in our winnings, if we don't know what actions we will take in gambling, it would be better to distance ourselves from that place because this will harm us if we enter a gambling place without knowing it. know what we are going to do.

Well tough luck. I was with the cashout team but I'm not gonna judge you for riding your luck until the end since we have different preferences and strategies when it comes to gambling.  Just take the loss to the chin and move on to the next bet. Best of luck.

Though we can't blame the OP if he will push thru his luck, because that's his choice.
In my opinion, it depends on what your gut feel is saying about the outcome.
If you are not very confident about it, you can cash out and you will be happy about it.
But high probability that the OP already knew what his decision will be, just want to hear some confirmation from outside sources.

I remember advising you that whatever decision or action you take it should be something that you are comfortable with and you can have a good sleep and since you already stated in this post that you are comfortable with your decision to go, then it is good to move forward now, that's the fact of gambling when you think you have it in the bag then unexpected things happen.
I'm sure you will learn from this and take the best action next time you are in the same position, anyway, I'm sure its an exciting ride and you enjoy the experience, I'm sure next time you will finally get it in the bag.

Always, I tell myself to cash out if there's a chance.
Don't prolong the decision because somewhere out there, there will be demons that will tell you to continue but it's not worth it. They want you to keep on going because they want their money back in a legal way. But it won't happen because you will be the one to stop it.
I do understand the need to be there but I also understand what has kept a secret just so it can continue. They will keep on hunting us but they will spend a lot of money first before they reach whatever they want. I am just another victim but I know what is next,

At times we should also view this bets in form of business we are running in terms of when we want to make decisions as it's regard to cashing out. As in, what sort of business will you invest $20k and you will be making a returns of $300k+ within an hour as the business begins? Cause from the the bet slip as shown by op it was 20k he used in staking and you're offered 300k+ as cash out when there are three other games left to play which outcome is uncertain. If I were to be in that shoe and I believe so much that those three remaining games will play as predicted in a business man perspective I will cash-out the 300k and use 50k to rebet the other remaining games, for a bird at hand is better than many in the bush.

You bet it was quite an exciting ride, and yes I have learnt a few lessons from the experience too, although this wasn't the first time I'm encountering such a scenerio but this one was a tough knuckle. Like I said earlier OP if I'm faced with the same situation in the future and my instincts tell me not to cash out, I would follow it, that's one thing about instincts, sometimes they lead you to making her right decisions and sometimes they don't. And yeah next time I believe I'll get it in the bad

Thank you for the head up, i am sorry that the result of the game does no go in your favor but  it is nice to know that you are not sulking on what happen.  Your scenario indeed give different kinds of lesson to each one of us.  In my case, I believe that win or lose does not matter as long as we don't regret our decision.  If we win great! and if we lose, that is ok, it is gambling after all. 

Aside from that, as long as we can afford to lose, we should continue until we felt that we can't afford the amount at stake.  Anyway, I hope you good luck on your next sports betting adventure, hopefully the next time will give you a great result.

Interestingly true OP, many people believes gambling is just all about winning and making away with some cash, I bet if that OP had done a cash out when he didn't really want to, but had to due to fear of uncertainty, he would've had some regrets later on, and maybe the regret would've even motivated him to risk the whole money as consolation to satisfy his regrets, and who knows what would also be the outcome. I think the most important than is being okay with whatever you decide and handling the outcome without regrets. We can't always win.

I would have also blamed OP for not cashing out when he had the opportunity to at least go home with half the win, but like others have said gamblers need to take full responsibility for their actions and inactions. Taking responsibility will also help to reduce regrets and blame. It is very common to see gamblers blame people for wrong decisions which shouldn't be the case. OP made his decision because he could bear the risk but I am sure I would have cashed out immediately.

My friend who is a great risk taker will always tell me that if you want to win big, you have to risk big. And I find these words to be true because every big winner took greater risks than the average or small winners. OP I wish you better luck next time.

A newbie in gambling would have cashed out, So I am not surprised to hear that you have had a similar experience. Did your instincts tell you to cash out? I don't argue with my mind when it comes to cashing out. Immediately I am moved to take a decision I will abide to avoid regrets. But you have learned some lessons.

I have one rule that has developed over the years of my betting and passion for casinos and betting: As soon as after winning the thought appears that “maybe I can withdraw money?” this means you need to end the game and withdraw money. At the same time, you need to forget about the thought “I need to continue playing, because even though I was very lucky, I can multiply this amount.” You need to get rid of this thought, because 95% of players, if they do not withdraw money, will definitely lose all their winnings. And even if they play for part of it, then they lose and take more and more from the winnings until they all lose.

It's true and it makes sense, you're making a scenario statement that matches the reality that most gamblers experience when they're lucky enough to win a certain amount of money. Honestly, I feel it and I have experienced it too, where reason and lust with a certain degree of curiosity will always be at war, between having to choose a withdrawal that is driven by the consideration of reason that it is the best and what should be done or continuing to play with the impetus of your hopes and feelings thinking that this is an opportunity to multiply even bigger.

The second point really must be eliminated from your mind, try to keep awareness in your mind, because if not then I'm sure you will continue to be carried away, the question is not did you come to get the victory? then when you already get it why not choose to withdraw it? anyone will never know what the amount of victory will be which means they want something much bigger than that by choosing to continue, even though on the other hand lust and desire will never end, right? in real life is the same. So in my opinion if indeed your victory has reached 100% of the amount of capital you bring then it is better to withdraw than to continue chasing the uncertain.

The outcome of the match is uncertain and none of us knows whether we will win or lose by gambling rather we gamble thinking that gambling may lose us money. That is, we decide to gamble even with the maximum risk of losing. If we talk about cash out in gambling then I would say everyone gambles to make profit and after making profit he must try or withdraw money from that site. If a gambler wants to continue this gambling then he has to keep his capital, it is not bad if he cash out the profit while keeping the capital. Many people do like this that they use the amount of money they earn as capital along with the capital but I don't like this at all I always prefer to cash out the profit amount.

Before this was introduced, gamblers had to wait until the whole game plays. The new feature of taking half of the funds before the game ends, is something I don't understand why the house chose it. In a simple term, they'll make more money from gamblers who prefer to take half the money, before their games ends. Here is where the gambling begins, who's going to win or lose. Whether to take the money or not, it's never an easy decision. We can say that a good number of people who didn't withdraw the available wins, lose out on the long run. But, think of it, the betting platform has lots of people who withdrew and their game ended up accurate. The remaining half goes back to the betting platform. It's more of a 50/50 scenario, yet, somehow the casino earns more using this formula. Only few players will be like OP and wouldn't take the already existing funds. And to many, the funds could be running in millions, thereby the casino still earns if the end results happen to be true, and the player withdrew along the line. 

Thank you for providing the update @OP. Well, that's gambling. We can win, we can lose, depending on our situation and conditions at that time. But hopefully, the lessons you get from previous experiences can make you wiser in making decisions, and that will certainly influence your decisions in gambling. And as long as we don't regret the decision we have taken, that means we can accept it well, especially since this is gambling where we can lose or win. This will mature us so that we can be more careful in making decisions. Your instincts will become more honed so that you can differentiate whether it is instinct, the temptation to keep not cashing in, or something else. The important thing is that you have learned important lessons from your experience, and we can all learn from your experience. Thanks again @OP.

The gambling was the game and the possibility of loss and gain was equal.The gambling people should understand this basic things before starting the game in the gambling site.The game results also based on the game situation and the conditions of the game betting in the gambling site.The advised opinion of the gambling was the Gambler should cash out after certain percentage of win from the deposit money.

I agree with what you say, in fact we have also experienced the same situation as in the OP's story in this thread. It could be that OP just wants to know various responses from the community, or it could be that OP really needs advice from us as a community. The point is, every decision belongs to the OP as the account owner with the results of his winnings. and several times I read OP's posts, that he decided not to cash it. In fact, it is completely his. and in the end, OP updated that the game turned negative and ruined everything.

He also said he was a little disappointed and that is very normal in gambling. and what I appreciate about what OP said, is that he has no regrets. regardless of whether it is true or not, it is his right to speak. However, I really agree with what he said. In principle, gambling only has two outcomes. win or lose. continue or stop. and all that, is our choice as gamblers. If it's no longer convincing, I won't hesitate to withdraw it. but if I still want to continue, be prepared for various scenarios that will happen. in short, we would lose everything if we risked it all. or, get a win that is multiplied many times over. Most importantly, we must be able to bear all the risks. anyway, if luck is on our side. we ourselves feel it, get the results, plus get the results from the pleasure of risky types of entertainment.

Well, this is something that do really happen on gambling field yet we are really that dealing with those things which we do need to choose up.Therefore, it do talks about complete risk taking on which there might be some people who wont really be able to dare out on cashing out early or would be going further until the end. If this one turns out to be a loss bet due to that 1 game loss
then it does really give out that kind of feeling on which it isnt really that pleasant but since you've been a bettor for long now then you  are already get used to it.
It is really that true that on the time that our intuition calls or instinct then it wont really be that a bad idea on trying out to follow it out.

I say take this chance and actually just cashout. The thing is, your perceived feeling of loss when you realize that you could've won more is much easier to handle compared to actually goading yourself to feel better when you lose all of this next match. And it's not a laughable amount of money either, you literally have a lot to work with at this point and I am guessing you could pretty much take this without any problems whatsoever since it's stake you're doing your business with.

Just take the money and enjoy your winnings, treat yourself to something fancy and savor every dollar you'd spend. Wins like these do not come that easy, so consider youself very lucky to be given the opportunity to actually experience such win.

Making the best decisions when our brains and minds are possessed by other things such as temptation is not easy, even when we think using common sense that it is a good decision but sometimes different conditions will also differ the thoughts that come out of our instincts, which is why gamblers often regret and say "I should have cashed it from the beginning", it is a familiar statement in terms of regret, and it is natural because regret always comes at the end.

But on the other hand can you change your approach a little bit to minimize the potential for regret at the end of the session? I think you can, and one of the things you have to do is always try to be at a good level of awareness especially in conditions when you win, if you need to write something on a blank paper like "cashing out is better than you regret" and put that writing in front of you, I think that method will be quite useful to help you reach the level of awareness when the feeling of greed starts to attack you.

This is what gambling means mate. You need to risk the money for better profits. You have the chance now to cashout good amount, but you still have a chance that you can make more money if the game ends in your favour. So it should be your call whether to take the risk or not. If you are happy with the amount available, then you should cash out. If you are ready to take the risk and the amount isn’t so good till now, then definitely you should wait for the game to finish.

Regret or disappointment when making decision but failing and resulting in loss of big opportunity is normal and of course everyone will feel these feelings if they experience it.
But it great that you can be so confident in the bet and ignore the profits you have made even though you know that the profits are more than enough, you have strong stance but this stance makes you feel disappointed.
My advice is to use bad experience like this as lesson and next time if it is worth it then do it, take all the profits and you can still start betting again but at least the profits are in your hands.
I know that every decision always has consequences, and as you said this is gambling there is loss, there is win and no one can know whether we will win or lose, so be patient, there will still be other opportunities that can come your way.

He opted to finish the game but unfortunately it didn't go as planned so he got nothing in the end. Sometimes we're in a situation wherein we have to choose, I don't think it's because of greed, more on the courage to finish what you have started regardless of the result.

It seems op didn't regret his decision and in fact willing to take a risk again if same situation happened (based on op's update). Anyway, there are gamblers who will be wise to cashout already since it's a sure money. But there are few who have a guts to play through. So it depends for every gamblers.

Yes, in gambling, there will be wins and losses, and we have to accept whatever the result is because we have decided to gamble. Unfortunately, most gamblers cannot accept their defeat and only want to win, so that makes them deposit their money again and continue gambling. But it will not always suit the wishes of those who want to win their gambling games because they can lose even more money and even lose all their money after depositing more money. If they see an opportunity to cash in their temporary winnings, they should cash it out immediately, especially if the temporary winnings can be many times the bet amount. We must not be greedy in hoping for more wins because it will not be easy.

i didn't follow this thread from the start, but from the comments i read, most of them said not to cash out and unfortunately for you, you didn't cash out and had to lose 1 match and lose your profit. but this is gambling, sometimes we have to make a bold decision that we are ready for whatever the outcome is. even though the result will be bitter, we have to accept the result because it is our decision and that is what a gentlemen is. i hope you have better luck in your next bet.

I am the one who advises you to cash out, because in my opinion it is not worth it for you to wait for 2 more games and moreover it is already disturbing your mind. But you have placed the option not to cash out and in the end you lose, and there's nothing we can do about that. But I applaud that you can still think positively and not be affected by the loss, and that's the mentality of a true gambler.

Like seriously, you play with some money and you are fortunate to win some more money, like what the hell are you waiting for? Right now you should have taken your profits because if one of those two games go wrong you will lose all the money, like why are you been greedy right now? You don't work for that money, take this as fact or leave it, gambling money is like not breaking a sweat and making money, no skills or services got rendered from you.

Greed will likely take over if you don't feel satisfies with money you win in a gamble, many people don't really accept gambling as lucky, they always take it too far until they lose everything, if you really understand the mind behind gambling you will be one of the safest gambler alive, when people are losing fortune you will be smiling because you truly understand what gambling is all about.

you have so many questions , I don't know which will be to answer or not lol.

But about your last question? when talking about penny is far different when talking about thousand dollars or even hundreds of thousands ,
how can you expect me to  accept that offer withdrawing 0.8$? lol i can even spend hundred dollars for single bet so I think you already knew what my answers to that , anyway the best answer here? we are all have our ownb decisions in gambling , mine may different from yours or from OP , but what we all have in common?
we are all GAMBLERS thats all.

Gambling comes a big risk, So much better to follow your own instincts and be brave in your decisions. Actually you don't have to ask it here because many people here will suggest not to cash out because they will tell you to place another bet so that you can possibly win more but if you are a wise thinker and your goal is to win and to achieve your targeted amount, you should have cash it out already so that you can save yourself and your bankroll from losing more. Anyways, that's how gambling works, hope you understand and learn from your experiences.

Sometimes we can follow our instinct since what comes more bigger in terms of doing a decision making on gambling is to win more. That's the reason why majority lose since they always got defeated on their greed. If majority of us will just cash out immediately once we win enough for sure there's no regretting on wrong decision we do. We should think advance and make all those experiences matter the most.

Its important if we know how to deal gambling also our habits since for sure once we are in total control and have critical thinking towards taking decisions of everything for sure we can leave gambling and can take home some winnings. So choose to cashout guys.

Have you thought that if the remaining games have exactly the same outcomes that the OP expected, he will then suffer that greed forced him to take the money ahead of time and he received only 20 (or whatever) percent of the amount he could have won?
I don’t like to cash out, it seems to me that at the moment when you place a bet you should choose the right odds for yourself - not too large (so that you don’t want to take the money ahead of time) and not too small (so that you feel the excitement).

I understand that my words sound reasonable and balanced, but I am well aware that it is easy to talk about this on the forum, and when sudden wins start to take you by surprise, it is very difficult to think soberly. I remember my feelings - it's like driving in a very fast car, when decisions are made quickly, and your brain is in an inexplicable state of euphoria and madness.

I completely agree with your strategy of withdrawing money from the casino that is equivalent to the initial deposit, it is very mathematically reasonable.

It's unfortunate this comment is dropping now but I'll drop it irrespective.

Gambling is not guaranteed, whatever you see as a potential win isn't a win, in straight terms, until its in your account its not yours.

When you already have a 50% sure win as compared to your potential win, its sure and can pull through immediately if you cash out, I see no reason why you should hesitate. Considering the fact that you're gambling and everything is under probability,  it's always ideal that you take profit rather than a loss, as your profit can sponsor another game another day.

If I was to be in your position, I'll cash out and use a significant amount to restatke the game that is yet to be played.

Indeed OP, gambling isn't really always about the money, I've come to realize that winning most times is about finishing what you started without making compromises. Have you ever started something and you get the chance to stop on the way and then get a sweet compensation but for one reason or the other, you choose to see it to the finish and ignoring the compensation no matter what it is, because that's where true victory comes from. Maybe that's exactly what the OP felt at that moment. Else I see no reason why he should choose not to cash out despite having such an amazing compensation for a cash out.

You've already provided the answer needed to your question unknowingly, those two games were strong enough to pull the entire labour you made on other games that comes and you loose everything, a single game even is good enough to ruine an entire game and render it a waste, so i expect that you understand this that there's no assurance in anything we do while gambling, we are taking risk on them to win or loose, if sometimes we are not too sure of the last games, it's better we deal with our greediness and cash out.

It is not a simple ABC or yes or no situation. A very difficult decision to make under duress.


Gamblers prefer to learn their from their own experience. There is always a lasting impression it leaves on them. It is futile giving them your unsolicited advice or opinion.

At this point, understanding the psychology behind gambling very important in preventing the pain that stems from losing.

Different people will have different ways of looking at a situation. Some might think that they should cash out because if they don't it will be considered greed and greed isn't a good thing, but some might think that they have already taken the risk when choosing the odds and making the bets so there is no point in cashing out midway and they would wait for the outcome of the bets. It just depends on the mindset of a gambler in my opinion and we all can't have the same thought process.

I don't mind doing both, and it will be a situational decision for me. If I get the opportunity to cash out when matches are remaining and I know that I need the money for sure, I will go for it. However, if I know that I don't need the money right now and I can afford to lose it even if the matches don't go in my favor, I won't mind taking the risk.

Going by OP's update, looks like his luck did not turn out for the best. But that's ok. He went for it bravely and gave it his best try. I say good job, OP.  But for the next time, you should always go in with a maximum loss/profit rule. Otherwise you might find yourself making decisions based purely on emotions like FOMO (fear of missing out). And that kind of gambling never does end well for the gambler... I speak from experience.

Gamblers who often take the opportunity in every gambling they do will not make a victory of the responsibility and I am sure they will continue the remaining two matches. Of course anyone will be tempted by the previous victory, but when we put a small money continuing the match is the most likely choice. Back again as you say that it depends on how each individual responds to every possibility that will occur and can minimize the risk of defeat is also not wrong if you want to take cash from the previous victory.

If he is not an active gambler, maybe the opportunity to continue the remaining two matches is unlikely, but in accordance with the renewal he submitted has continued. I agree that active gamblers do not need to ask for advice to continue or withdraw cash because they know how to handle gambling. He also said that initially involved with small capital in gambling, only he was confused to continue or stop with a number of wins he had obtained. It was entirely the decision because we never knew how the real incident after he made a post and the picture taken.

Making decisions quickly or also in a hurry will not be a decision that is not optimal, I mean decisions that are made quickly tend to produce something that is not good, because they do not consider it carefully first. Maybe in an urgent situation it's okay, but it doesn't hurt to consider all decisions before they are rounded up, maybe like that it will be more efficient. So we have to try our best before doing anything, because of course there will be results from a decision that is taken.

Why is that? because in my opinion most gamblers who have won usually tend to choose to continue their game to achieve maximum winnings without thinking about the initial capital that they have not withdrawn, it doesn't matter if they decide something like that but it's good if you want to continue the game to withdraw the winnings with the equivalent amount of capital at the beginning. even if the winnings that are played again run out, we do not lose but there is no victory in getting nor is our money lost, it's just that the winnings are taken back by the casino. So the point is to be smart in gambling si do not let us be made stupid because of the victory we get.

op using 20000 to get a return of 362000 is not a bad business but if you are not comfortable with the idea you can live the game to play, but one thing you should know is that, know bet is certain, greed should not be attached to gambling because gambling is not what to hope with and people that understand this always scale through, so any gambler that does not desist from greed will continued to be unsuccessful, you said what if you cashout and the game play, when looking you stake, you will understand there is know loss attached even though you cashout. 

Greed is always attached on gambling because you will not gamble if you will not feel any level of greediness of earning quick profit.

Back to the topic, OP is just betting using around 22$. This is small amount if we consider just the bet value but it’s already big for people living on 3rd world country. I’m sure OP is already tempted to cashout this bet that’s why he created this post but the best answer always depends on how he consider the bet amount.

Op I am sorry for the loss, I think as a gambler you should be familiar to cases like this, it happens all the time. In most cases after successfully cashing out the remaining games would play to your predictions,  and that can be a bit annoying. But I personally stand for cash out in most games I play, provided the profit have gotten to a significant amount that can be considered a worthy profit. Assuming I saw the post earlier when you posted it, I would have advised you take the cash out option since the profit is more than 10x the amount you used in making the stake.
