Today i decided to try one of my sweet predictions in the EPL games. So, i predicted in 4 matches and placed my net. However, during this time i watched my games played so well but two games were holding it and i felt i would lose this game. It was already 83 minutes and i needed these games to play at 87 minutes i gave up and decided to cashout the amount i used to stake since it was the amount that was showing there. I thought it was clear and instead of losing i should rather just get my money back. Just in 15 minutes after i checked the live score and found out that the game played. I felt so angry and unhappy because i have not trusted my instincts if not i wouldn't have cashed out at that time.

This is one of the reasons I hate cash out. This is also one of the reasons I do not like to watch any of the matches or their live scores until the matches ended. I have staked on a match before that the goal that made me won the game was scored in the 5 minutes extra time given and it was less than 1 minutes 30 seconds to the end of the match. Also can someone lose within that short minute. As for me, even if I am losing, I do not cash out. The money that is always offered for cash out is not always favoring.

I believe it was a Liverpool match not as an away one? But in the 99th minute Nunez was the hero for scoring whereas bettors would have been a bit emotional and better off cashing out.

Who wouldn't be upset with this result? But rather than you lose money it's better to return capital first even though in the end the guess won but this is a Premier League match that is sometimes difficult to predict and easy to predict.

At least you have cashed in halfway it will be better, and can bet again in the next match maybe you will have strong instincts again. :D

You are right. Funny enough my friend that i gave the game to play as well. Told me he doesn't watch his game whenever he plays a bet. I am now the one who had lost while he has won. It's just crazy something i predicted and was very sure would be successful. I messed things up. Now i have learnt something and won't let that repeat again. If am to gamble i should gamble and take my mind of it and let it play till the end. What i have understand today is that what will be will be.

We cant say that cash out feature do really sucks on which this feature had saved up my ass on how many times on which on the time that you do feel that your bet is really that on 50.50 winning
then it wont really be that bad for you to have that kind of option on which you could really be able to opt whether you should be pushing through or would be cashing out.
But somehow i do have also those kind of experiences that having those early cash outs turns out to be salty yet my bet went through or simply win which i have been trying out to see
on whats that full win amount that i should have obtained if i wasnt been able to cash out early but well this is how gambling works which whether you do win or lose some.

Instincts and inside voices are really that very common. Sudden shift or having those mood swings is really be that part of it and if you would really be trying out to go against with it
then you would really be having those impressions that you might really be that making the bad decision into your life.

There is one the thing you need to understand as a gambler especially if you have experience winning a huge amount of money and also losing amount of money, the essence of gambling is to win right? You probably lost this money because you couldn't take your mind of the game, you most be ready to grow your mind not to accept less when the bigger bag is their so this is my gambling secret, cash out is no longer an option to me because i have lost so much using that option so what i do is this, bet with the amount i want to bet with, take the money off my mind then refuse checking the bet until the games arw over this will enable you to win it all instead of cashing out peanut as a result of fear  of losing it all.

I am not new to gambling and I have use cash out before and I later decided not to use it anymore because of unexpected outcomes of the matches that later become won but money still lost due to cash out. One thing that I notice about cash out is that the gambling sites are favoring themselves than the gamblers.

If the game had not played, and you did not use the cash out option, you would have been angry with yourself the other way that you refused cashing out and maybe called it greed. We cannot know for sure how the future will go and while we may want to feel like we have some insights, we can still be wrong.

Trusting your insights can help, but it is not every individual who has a good insight or intuition. If from previous episodes you have been right with your insights and intuition, then you trust again one more time, if you have been wrong many times from depending on your insight, do not trust it one more time.

I'll be honest here, I've never used the cash out function hahaha
Even watching the games I bet on, I let it happen

At least in my opinion, it's always good to be sure before you place a bet, and then let the bet run its course
The doubt you feel until the games are over can be more of a problem than a good move, as emotion can make you make the wrong decision


It's a good alternative if your team isn't playing
During the game it's quite complicated to bet or change something, a few minutes can make you think that the game will go one way, but in the whole game those minutes may not make a difference

For me some times I call my instincts my guardian because it helps me alot to make good decisions but sometimes I don't know when I get some stupid inspiration or ideas from because I make mistakes sometimes trying to follow my instincts mean while I should have just done what I wish to do but I do get something telling me not to. in regards to your own case it's not like your instincts was the correct one but it's just that it turn out to work in a way you didn't expect it.

On a serious note I think you should be happy that you didn't loss everything, I believe what is driving your regrets is greed. that you would have achieved more if you did it in a way but since you did then it seems like a bad decision while it was a good one because you didn't loss everything.

We've all done this before and have been on the wrong side of the decision.  But there has been plenty of time watching games and seeing how they are playing out would go against my bet and cashed out and salvaged what I could vs losing the whole thing.  I've never monitored if I made more right than wrong decisions but it's gotta be somewhere near the middle.  So I think either way in the long run cashing out mid bet isn't always the wrong thing to do.

If you want to be fully happy with gambling, never bet against yourself, unless doing so will bring you profit. It's always fulfilling to follow your instinct so that at the end of the day, there will be no regret, especially on a parlay bet where you have to decide how many legs to compose.

The cash-out option is just one way to destroy your happiness, it's there for a reason, and it has not been favoring us gamblers. A parlay is hard to win, yet we choose cash out. That's wrong; we should have let it play and see if we win or lose because a win offers a big reward, and we should go with that.

It's a rule that I've been following when I make my multi-deck bets, that the moment I click on the bet button, for me it becomes irreversible, I'm going to wait for the result of all the games and see if I win the bet or not because if I start making cashout then I will be showing great insecurity and this is definitely not a good thing, it is not a feeling that is necessary in gambling, it would show that I am desperate for victory, it would show that I need that money urgently and this is a very dangerous move , because over time this feeling starts to get worse and turns into too much anxiety and every time the person places a multibet bet then that person will be anxious about the result of the bet, every time that person will be thinking about the bet

When I got into sports betting, the biggest problem I had at the time was being able to place a multibet bet and letting all the games end without me canceling the bet. This made me very angry because I tried to analyze the games and then do bet and then when I saw that I already got 3 games right but in game 4 the team I bet on was losing, so I cashed out, the problem with that is that later I realized that in game 4 I got it right, but as I cashed I was left with little money, that really irritated me because normally if I won I would have an odd of 7.00 but when cashing out I would only have an odd of 4.00 which was a very big difference especially considering the risk you run when making multibet bets

My advice is that you start to get it into your head that when you place a multibet bet it means all or nothing. win and you win a lot or lose and accept the result, but you won't cashout, this has to be a rule that you must create and you have to do experiments such as betting with a small amount and letting the bet continue until the end, over time you will get used to it and you will no longer make cashouts, keeping making cashouts means that the person wins little and it is not worth it because multibet bets are a big risk, which is why to compensate for the risk the person must win a lot

For me, whatever you finally decide to your multi-bets, cash-out or not, just be grateful that you have won something and not go home as a loser. What if one of his bets lost, for sure, he will thank himself for cashing out early. So don't be too hard on yourself here, be happy for whatever outcome you got here.

The feeling of regret will always be there, as I've experienced that several times as well but should not take it personally as you won't move on from such remorse feeling.

Predicting sports outcomes is tricky, and the frustration of cashing out too early is real. Maybe next time consider giving your instincts a bit more time before making decisions. It's all part of the game like learn from it and adapt for better results in the future

Thank you for sharing your betslip and your awkward experience with us, guy. Well unfortunately only you didn't apply the best strategy IMO, since it's almost always a bad move to cashout. It's the same thing as insurance at Blackjack, the payout offered is usually not a good deal because the RTP is very low, so if you always cashout your bet you are very likely to lose money in the long run. 

Playing the instinct game is quite confusing at some points, because our instinct within us is right to some extent, but since this is a match and nobody is sure of what the last outcome would be, I don't think you should be sad for taking back the few funds you've won. The main point remains that you weren't patient enough for the game to end, also, didn't trust that in football, anything can happen. Hence, let's say you weren't satisfied with your action, as it played against your will, but the result may not have gotten you worried if the team ended up losing the game. Gambling works in different ways, and gamblers makes the most decision, when our actions bothers us, that means we are not bold enough to accept we thought about it all through, and had to take the decision for a reason, which you stated on your thread, not losing out completely your money, and that purpose you achieved, that should be enough to keep you happy. The rest is greed.

one of the things that for me is important when it comes to gambling, that is having confidence in my instincts especially since they are often right, also to avoid regrets like the story and experience shared by OP. It's funny to hear the experience that happened, but you can't help but regret it, especially if there's a lot to win. I don't like the cash out option the most because when you have it, you lose focus and there are changes in your mind because instead of your bet being fixed, there is a contrast in the decisions because we know that there is a cash out option and anytime you can take out the money you bet as long as there is still time.

The mistake is you tried to risk your money to gain profit but you pulled it out with just ROI. You didn't really make anything from it. It's like you just wagered money so that's your only perk there.

It is true that we must be ready for the end result of what our instincts tell if we make parlay bets but if we do see a cash-out option, we can also take that as long as there is profit in it. I've done that a lot of times and most of them are in profits first so that the regret will not be too strong if ever all of it will hit. What happened to you was not like that, you didn't let it have fruits. ;D It's a waste of labor to analyze the games and then watch them with intense feelings.
There's a solution for this kind of problem, don't watch the games and just let the parlay be. There are times when we will be the barrier to our success, maybe it's better if we just leave it alone especially if we are ready to lose the amount we set for that gamble.

I never check how are my multibets doing, because i would definitely cashout in the middle of it if i did. But your bet could might as well gone either way, so i wouldn't trust my instinct just because it was right few times, as it has been wrong probably 100x more times.

But i understand the need for it, as trusting our instincts makes us happy, makes instict to feel more significant to us, and we get confirmation bias from every time our instincts were right. It's the same reason we sometimes hear people winning because they had a result revealed in their dream. People love to share those stories, but they never tell the majority of stories where the dream was wrong.

We don't like to think times when we were wrong, so we don't pay attention to those times. If we did, we wouldn't trust as much on our instincts. We have build instincts because they have been relevant in our evolutionary development, but you are misreading them if you think they are relevant to predict scores for games.

That's why it's called gambling, as there is no certainty to what might happen in the game and that's why the hard choice and call to take is always meant to be decided by you. Gambling is a game of luck and sometimes a game of mind because it's that risk that you take will show how gamble minder you are. And again if I were you I wouldn't be surprised at all because even the times that we might decide to go strong like a gambler and leave the game we still find out that the result ended in a loss.

Don't be scared with the game results because there's more coming our way. I'm sticking to my instincts and gambling techniques because they will safe me in my bad and losing days as a gambler, I know how difficult it will become for most of to cope with the system. There are always pin down losses in the space but there's always a path to follow, we're in for the tremendous winnings and won't hesitate to grab any significant opportunities to win. Some gamblers exists in the space simply because they see their colleagues placing wagers, they just want to feel among and this is weigh out of the question.

Gambling never favors the bettors but the edge is always on the house. So never get confused if ever you still end up losing despite how effective gambler you are. And in terms of cash outs, know that it’s not always to secure part of your winnings or cut your losses, but it’s a casino trick to prevent you from winning big after the game is played. Most especially if gamblers are in doubt of what will be the outcome of the game, some resort into cash out  and by then, they are closing their active bets and lose the chance of winning in the end.

Gambler’s instincts could sometimes be right or wrong, but if you are a responsible gambler, you will not ignore part of your instinct but will evaluate it first before applying it into your bets.

Fighting the gambling system is not an easy thing, therefore we must stick to our gambling instincts and set limits for ourselves in gambling, because if we continue to force ourselves to win the bets we play even though we cannot win it will be better. We stop for a moment to gamble so as not to spend too much of our funds on gambling.

In gambling, there will always be wins and losses that we will get and for those who can choose the type of gambling according to their abilities, it will be very possible to win their bets and for those who just follow us and don't place their bets, I think they are just curious. with gambling and will never try it.

You will be happy if the things as you expected so the important thing to remember here is you didn't lose anything that should keep you happy for now. And better not to look at the results of the games you decided to avoid such regrets or if you just want to go by your instincts then what really made you to cash out in the 83rd minute?

You can't live life with ifs and buts so don't make it as habit of blaming yourself when you can't do anything to change what already happened.

I think what you are doing is right because you are trying to take back your money from the worst possible risk. However, because you should have won the bet, you feel angry, but try to imagine if it turned out that the match was lost, you would think your decision was the best.

I know it sucks and I would be angry too if I were in your position, but it has happened. There are still many matches to come so don't worry because you can still try betting again on other matches

You will feel that you are doing it right if your 2 bets were lost eventually and you will not feel disappointed as you get your money back. Dont regret of what you did because you did not know what will happen with your bet. If you are a risk taker, you should not do cash out or at least you have told yourself that you will keep your bet whatever will happen during the match. Is there any option to do partial cash out? You can do it if there is such an option so you can still have something to wait and hope till the end of all matches. 

There's a simple way to deal with the cash out dilemma and it's simple. Before you takes the action of predicting a game, make up your mind about cashing out, you either agree before you place your bet if the game is for cash out or not, no matter the direction the results are going in the middle of the game you won't be moved if the game wasn't initially projected for a cash out.

Another way to avoid the temptation of cash out is by avoiding to regularly checking the results of the matches you bet on, the psychology is that you will be troubled with each event at every minutes of the game that is not happening in your favour and if you aren't confident about your predictions you just end up cashing out less for games that would have played well in full time.

There are no mixed feelings here, it's as simple as that, and cashing out depends on the return itself versus the profit.

It's something like how sometimes the remedy (cashout) is worse than the disease, it's not worth it versus the gain it involves, so, man nothing happens, you just assume it as loss normal, next bet.

Yes i do agree on this one on which it wont be called gambling in the first place if it doesnt involved that kind of choosing and selecting and make bets. It is really just that impossible that
you wont be able to notice on what you are trying to achieve on here on which we do know that gambling is really just that for entertainment. There are really moments or times that you
would really be having those kind of hesitance and doubts whenever you do see some bets which you would be needing to make out some alter decisions in compared on what you had analyzed.
Taking profits or making even more bets? It would really be just that depending on you and its up to a gambler on how far he would really be able to risks up something.

I agree.Sometimes the cashout option is great to use for example in a ticket with 15 games and you have gotten 12 correct it is a no brainier to cashout the amount and be happy with it rather than be in anxiety waiting for all the games to finish,this is something I always do when it comes to using the cashout option.

However in a simple multi like yours where you had chosen all the favorites or some really high chance bets with low odds and in such case it is better to wait rather to use the cashout option,anyway in sometimes if you thought like you will most likely lose the cashout option is helpful also but I would not use it in such tickets.

Cashing is just like saying, if you snooze, you loose because what  is the difference. Depending on my mood, I could watch the match I have earlier, some other time when I am feeling too tenses I do not watch the game. Waiting till the end of the game may guarantee a win and speaks to the personality of the gambler some of which are patient or impatience. By the way is there a statistics for those who cashed out before the game ended and those who didn't and their outcomes for both categories of people?

It's normal, you chickened out, just like many people do with their investments. Don't be too hard on yourself and think of all those who held bitcoin in 2022, but got scared and sold during the bear market instead of trusting their instincts. When you're in, you're in, tell that to yourself. When you bet you usually have everything planned out and then often get second thoughts. Learn to ignore it and have no regrets. Doing so will only make you feel better, even if you lose.

I think we should happily accept the decision, this will give us peace of mind as there is no loss due to cashout so it is not worth thinking about. Because the opposite result could have happened here, so that the loss would have been bigger and then again the frustration would have worked that why I had not cashed out at that time, then I would not have seen so much loss. So losing, winning is part of the game, when a chance is missed we should move on and prepare for the next opportunity.

You won't have the same reaction if it turned out to be a losing bet. That's how gambling works and you should accept it. Sometimes it will save you from huge loss so just embrace it or don't bet next time if it makes you anxious and uncomfortable. What we expect most of the time is to just tick with what you believed before you make the bet or place it but it is just normal to be worried of it given that no one wants to lose anyway. If you are aiming to avoid these instances, never bet if you are not confident with the match. Sometimes it is just us who pushes ourselves too much to bet on almost every match or game we would encounter wherein we have a choice in the first place, not to. So at least if you're confident then you won't be this nervous and it would help you avoid regrets as well if ever the outcome will not be in favor with your expectancy.
There's also no reason to continue if you, yourself, cannot bear with the possible negative outcome. You will not be thinking of pulling your bet if you had no enough sign or reason to do so. On my end, it is just okay as long as you won't regret it, as I've said already. We will either lose or win. These are the only possibilities.

You are not tricking yourself or casino, you just got lucky that day. I think everytime we try to trick someone our ourselves in gambling, it is going to end bad. Today you tricked yourself and call it success, you share it with us. The day you do the same and fail, and we would call it reckless gambling. Trust me ;D Better gamble and have fun.

The opposite would have certainly become the case, but how does a bettor know if cashing out is the best idea or not?
You did what was thought best at the time OP and even traders of cryptocurrency do same when they feel the market may come into some volatilities soon.
It's good to follow our instincts if we intend to get the best from our endeavors and that's why keeping an open mind is advised all time, but also, one has to have trained him/herself to be able to clearly hear their instincts voice when it calls from the subconscious.

Am sure the next time OP decides to play, he would not panic to cash out but wait till all matches have been confirmed

It is a shame that you didn't stick with you gut! I too just had this same feeling when I took the cashout option on the Chiefs Superbowl game. I didn't think they were going to win and the clock was winding down, had I just left my bet that the chiefs were going to win I would have won a nice little sum but instead I made it out completely even. Honeslty you can't be mad about that but in this case as well as many there is that FOMO factor and the regrets from not doing what you thought in the first place. Consider yourself lucky, you could have easily been wrong and lost it all!

Winning and losing is normal, because it is also called a game, if for example you don't want to lose then don't ever place a bet. Because whether in gambling or betting, there is no such thing as a guarantee of winning every time you place a bet, and that is regardless of how good and thorough the analysis is. So we must remain relaxed and accept the results of a bet we place, regardless of whether the final result is a win or loss.

And if we feel quite doubtful about a betting decision, it would be better if we withdrew from the bet, because instinct plays an important role in the betting or gambling that we do. And if someone plays their instincts every time they place a bet or gamble, sharp instincts can help someone make quick decisions based on strong instincts. However, it would be better if someone were able to combine sharp instincts and a good understanding of opportunities and risks, so that apart from being able to make decisions quickly, this could also help him minimize losses and increase opportunities for success.

If you start something, see it through to the end!

It's due to events like the one you reported that I don't like, for example, betting on online games. I always place my bets in advance of the start of the game and keep them there until they are all gone.
Regardless of the result, even if my bet turns out to be very bad right at the beginning of the game, I never change it or give up early, as I would rather lose money knowing that I made a wrong choice and try to learn from it than losing money knowing that I rushed into it. a decision that was right and all that needed to be done was to be more patient... that would certainly make me very angry.

Anyway, not everything is so bad... you can still take it as an experience!

It's really hard, no one can say for sure when to cashout. It all depends on whether to cashout when the situation demands instant decision making. So I think if the result is positive after cashout, then there is no point in regretting that decision, because even if you regret it, there will be no change in the result. I have been in this situation myself, I know it hurts, but move on with a fresh mind and focus on the next game.

I hard a very ugly experience with cash out last week that made me to lose huge amount and that further increases and confirm my suspension about cash out features and how best the gambler can use it to their own advantage sometimes cash out is most favourable when the games is going in your favour and you overall balance return have moved above 80% of your total rewards if bet win.

Most times when we take the wrong cash out decision is when the game goes slightly against our predictions let say with a goal diffenrece and we rush to make a cash out and few minutes later our favourite team equalize the goal there by returning us to winning position when we already cashed out on a lose.

Nope. I’d rather stick with logics and actual thinking rather than rely on my biased insticts and gut feeling and hope for the best. I’d argue that you actually do the opposite of what you just told us lol. Cause how can you trust yourself when the only thing uou can reliably do when you gamble is make the bets as the way you wanted? You can’t control the outcome, hell, the outcome will even control you at times due to gambler’s fallacy, and you’re out here telling people to trust their instincts? C’mon man.

For cashouts I guess you make a very sound point but that in itself isn’t really something you can attribute towards instinct, it’s a completely logical move you make after weighing your situations against your decisions and it’s not something you can simply pull out of a gut feeling.

Do not trust your “instincts” when you gamble, always think and make sure that you’re making the right decisions, you don’t wanna be the guy who loses all his shit just cause he thought red hasn’t come up in a while so it’s gonna come up in the next turn.

Sometimes cashing out is good and will favor you but sometimes it will no go in your favor. The cash out feature is useful to stop loss but in gambling it is not over until the the final whistle has been blown.

If you ask me i would say the cash out button is really not that helpful since when betting you already assume the money you staked to be gone and to me it is worth taking the risk so there is no need to try getting your money back. It is painful when you cashed out and in the end your predicted games becomes a success so that’s why I don’t consider the cash out feature.

I don’t make the mistake of cashing out my games again ever since i made a mistake and cashout a potential win of close go 150k NGN and got a little amount not knowing that the game will come through. When i stake a game and i feel pressured about it win i just stop following up the game and if i eventually lose i will accept it as my fate. 

Your post would have been that you're glad you didn't follow your instincts and that you're glad you got your money back if the team actually lost. It's just one of those things that you either ride it out or you pull the trigger. Try to stick to whatever decisions you made as a gambler.

I think you're just too emotional with your bets. You've made that bet in the first place because you think your team will win.

There were only a handful of times in my entire sports betting experience when I used the cash-out option. I usually go all the way with my bets whether my team appears to be winning or losing. I stick to my predictions. I even bet more and take advantage of the high odds in the middle of the game when my team is behind in score.

Anyway, to each his own. Cashing out is always an option. It's there for bettors to make use of, at least while it is still available. Bookies normally disable that function as soon as the game is about to end or when it is already clear that one team is certain of victory.

Yeah, his decision wasn't wrong, he made the right choice, and being sad over the right step isn't right. The thoughts may stay on his head for few more days, which can affect his gambling initiatives. Players need to focus more on the next games, not about what happened previously on a game. Many people lost same game, and didn't have a dime to recover, but he took his money with some profit. But wanted some more, that's the life of humans. However, nothing is so serious enough to be able to make a gambler get sad over such incidents. At some point we could be wondering over not listening to our self consciousness, but that's not a trouble to worry about.

I also prefer reason over instincts when gambling. By relying on instincts, gamblers are not exactly going to follow responsible gambling guidelines, as their instincts can say anything at anytime of the game. To be driven by instincts sounds like being motivated by impulses in my opinion, what is a very dangerous practice in gambling. As we have already read lots of time on this sub-section of the forum, many people faced several and harsh losses due to this kind of behavior.

He actually used his instincts to cashout his money before the bet was over. So, indeed, his statement is a bit contradictory. If his bet was logically calculated, he would have taken it till the end. In the same manner he wouldn't be doubtful about cashing out earlier if it was also pre-determined by him before placing the bet. In the end his instincts lead him to become unsatisfied over his final decision, anyway.

Trusting your instincts is important but it's also important to remember that gambling always involves risk and uncertainty, even best predictions or instincts may not always result in a win. I understand how it can be frustrating to missed a potential winning, although, it's natural to feel disappointed, try not to dwell on missed opportunities, instead, use that experience as a learning opportunity for future bets.

You cashed out, that's all that matters, don't be a greedy fellow, the opposite could have happened, you instincts you say? Tell me how many times that your instinct have always proven to be right? I dare you, it's because instinct are not always right too, that's why you have doubt.

So instead of losing everything you still cash some money out, meaning you already made some money, and after, you are hitting yourself hard for not risking it all? You are not a good gambler, to be a good gambler is to be appreciative of whatever gains you made out of gambling, not winning at all vs winning some money but not enough, which should be ok by you?

They say that half bread is always better than none, why not try to limit your unsatisfactory? Because this will get you ruined in gambling, if it's other things I am fine by it but not in gambling, you will find yourself wrecked in the end.

lol!
This is just a one sided issue about cashing out because some people had the opportunity of cashing out in cases as this but refused because of greed and ended up loosing at the end of the game.

This is gambling, there is no guarantee that you were going to win anyways so whenever you have the opportu of winning don't allow greed to convince you that if you had been patient you would have won the jackpot. Truth is that in this particular scinario it could have been to your advantage but you only realised this after the game ended but it is possible that your instinct was right or that it was wrong mbut the God thing is that you r gambling pair off this time around. don't be surprised that next time you will find yourself in situation as this you might want to allow the game play to the end and end up seeing the reverse of what happened now.

If you gamble with money you can afford to lose and have this mindset that any money used for gambling is gone then you will not be too troubled about the progress of your prediction. A lot of gamblers especially those into sports betting are fond of following their predictions as they progress and one thing about this sports betting I have observed over time is that a second is enough to either make you lose or win. For instance, I have placed a bet and at the start of the match till even 90mins the game will be in my favour but surprisingly I see the other team equalize the game and then ruin my ticket. Similarly, there are times I will just conclude that I have lost the ticket only for the game to change in my favour and then I will win.

Since it is difficult to predict the outcome of a game, I stopped cashing out games because I have cashed out games in the past and then it played and when I decided not to cashout it will not play and so I took I decision to allow my games play till the end and to avoid temptations of cashing out and to maintain my cool, I don`t check my games till the end.

What if you make a wrong decision because of your instincts? Do you really believe that your "instincts" are right 100% of the time?
Some gamblers call it "luck", other gamblers call it "instincts" or "intuition". Maybe I should call it "having confidence in your luck".
You didn't have confidence in your luck so you have decided to play it safe and not have a loss instead of taking the risk and winning.
That's a pretty rational behavior. Maybe you have to be less rational as a gambler, in order to make a big win.

It maybe important to consider but if we are playing on game which base on luck then I guess we can't get any accurate result since everything there will be in random. But if we are really to confident on our self and always follow our instinct then maybe everything is good especially if we follow our plans made. But there's no guarantee at all here especially if we want to deal something since in gambling we can be happy or get disappointed but what's important there is we know what is our main goal here. We will never get disappointed if we are just there to have fun, but for sure there's learning we can get if we are consistent gambler and we can apply all the experiences we learn so that we may have huge chance to gain and grab every opportunity available especially on taking critical decision regarding on each result you have in gambling.

One thing about gambling like they say is that it is luck base. I don't regret certain actions that is taken about gambling. That which you are regretting might have turned out that you will lose all of the money you staked with but however, it is better to also follow the slogan of betting what you can afford to lose so that when you lose it you won't regret it. For example this is another twist to it, if you had left the money with that feeling of whatever the outcome will be then you will be satisfied because you have bet with an amount you want to forfeit, then perhaps you would have left it and that outcome would have favoured you.

That's what greed can do to a person.  Instead of being happy cashing out the winnings, he is remorseful of his action of cashing out.  But what if the result goes the other way around?  Do you still get angry and unhappy?  I believe the secret of maintaining a good gambling activity in harmony with a person's daily lives is being contented with the winnings and accepting the losses when it is an unlucky day.  Though I wish you had continued and not cashed out, getting angry over the things you have decided simply shows the greed hidden within you.  ;D.

It is best to be flexible and decide where we are at an advantage.  I do not see any wrong with you cashing out early and securing a profit is the best way to do it.  Instincts may not always be correct.  Many people were ruined because of what they called instinct.  Remember no one knows the future, so the best move to secure the profit in a parlay is to withdraw and cash out the moment one has doubt over his bet.

but sports betting doesn't just rely or based on luck, if you are a fan or a solid watcher of the sports you are betting then you have the idea of which team will win in every matches, what OP's problem is that he doesn't stick to his own decision and judgement, as an sports bettor also, I also like to bet in sports especially in basketball or NBA, but after I placed my bets I take away the device I used to bet because I like to see the matches or my bet to the end, I don't want to ruin or get back at my bet or decision mid game, yes it might not a reasonable way of betting but that is my own way, if I will going To lose then so be it but if not then thank god.

but of course, I'm a human to I sometimes does what OP do, but in a scenario that I didn't have any idea of which team will win or what will be the outcome of the game based on score, and the amount I bet is too huge, then that's the case wherein I will cash out mid game if I feel that I will lose the bet.

I know this feeling very well too and made similar mistakes in the past myself. Sport matches can seem quite long if they are very close and we bet money on them. When watching games live I used to question my own decisions too and wanted to cash out mid game to not lose money. Feeling bad once our team wins and we gave in to these thoughts about cashing out early is normal. But I stopped myself from doing it completely. The best way was to not place any intra game bets anymore. If I place a bet for one team to win the match then I am going to stick with it even if it seems unrealistic at the moment. This also helped me up enjoy games much more again, because it's not an option anymore to place anymore bets.

Gambling can't be predicted,  you can't really tell when to win or when to lose that is why it is good whenever one wants to play gamble it is important to play with the amount that one can afford to lose. Most times when gamblers use huge amount of money to gamble their mind is not stable when the game is going on,  and fear to lose can make them to withdraw their money even before the end of the game and if the games eventually ends the way they wanted they will feel bad about their decision.

The reason why it is good to playing with amount you can afford to lose is that you won't be on panic when the game is going to make decisions of withdrawing your money that may not favour you. Playing with the amount you can afford to lose, even if you lose it won't be a burden to you that much, than playing with a bigger amount and expecting so much from gambling.  Sometimes people get scared of loosing their money because they can't afford to lose it.

It's a very sad experience and I have been in such situations many times. Sometimes those games won't clear out and you will be very happy that you were able to cash out. There are days you cash out and the game that were left couldn't play. Don't be so hard on yourself. Just see it as one of those things that happens with gambling. But the truth be told, you will feel pain and you will wish you could turn back time and make a different decision. The deed has been done and there is nothing more you can do about it. I advised myself that whenever I place I won't check the bet slip until the next day, whatever the outcome I will take it like that.

Right, if you're talking about sports betting, usually the bettors are solid fans and they know how to play the team they choose and then they trust the team members so they can be sure to drop the bet. No matter how much we know how both team play, we are not sure who will win and who will win. It's also a double purpose if you're betting on sports betting, firstly, you'll be enjoy especially if you're an avid fan of that game and second, you have a high chance of winning based on your luck and the talent of the member you're betting on.

Sometimes it is hard to know the difference between the right instincts and the wrong one. That is why human are imperfect. You don't know if you haven't cashout maybe the game would have also cut and you will loose all and you start regretting of not cashing out early. You won't blame yourself because I have also left a game before without cashing out, and the game later cut so it is hard for you to know when your instincts is telling you the right or wrong.

OP, what happened to you is nothing strange to me, as it has happened to me several times,but what I come to notice is that, when we go for a cash out without any profit on it, it means that you have used the money that you cannot afford to lose, and that was why you were unable to wait for the matches to be over to know your fate.

When I understood this, I only bet with the money that I can afford to lose, so that when I have a cashout option that is exactly the amount that I used to stake my bet, I would not mibfmd because I can let go of it. However, if it is when the cash out is bigger than the amount that I used for the bet, that is when I do consider it, so that I don't feel that I am too greedy and that was why I lost the game.

That happened a lot to me. I thought that I was gonna lose so it's better to cash out my bet (either lose or at least get back my bet) but in the end that was a winning bet but sometimes that's really a good option to withdraw it while it's early, sometimes I withdraw it earlier even if all the matches are good because I was afraid that having a little profit is good as long as it is secured than waiting for all the games to finish and might be risky.


Now, I was thinking whether this kind of feature is good or bad or at least can we try to turn it on or off in the option as sometimes people don't want to cash out or accidentally cash out it.  ???

At least you will still get a profit, even though it is not as big as if you kept the bet completed, and you are very likely to get a different result in another parlay, so if today you feel sorry for using the cashout feature, it is very possible that next time you will be grateful that you decided to use this cashout feature.
However, we should stick to what we have implemented because if we choose multi-bet in four bets, it means we are expecting a profit of that size and we will never make a cashout unless we choose more, for example, 10 matches with 8 already completed and we feel unsure about the rest, then that's it can be done to secure a definite profit even though it is not as big as what has been targeted, and those who like risk will stick with their choice even though the profits they get are very tempting and will not use cashout.

It's instincts, we are not sure where it will go. We just have to trust it especially if most of our instincts did tell us in the past it was the right option.
But I still disagree with cashing out at just the same amount as you bet because there's nothing that was really done. We are gambling because we like the risk and our goal is to make profits out of our bets. But if you just get ROI, it's like nothing really happened.
And it's a parlay, there is supposed to be profit first before we cash out our ticket. There will be times that we have to be brave about our bets especially if we are the ones who made the parlay. That's your own analyzation of that game which means you must have a lot of trust in it.
I mean, just a bit of profit could've been better and I bet there will be no frustration that will linger if it was the result of your bet even if you do an early cashout.

 

There is also a place of emotional stability to this along side experience. An inexperienced gambler will not be able to wait to see what happens whether they have bet with money they can afford or not, they would cash out when it comes, the most reason for this is fear to lose and anxiety for not knowing what to do and so they want to end it by going the cash out way then waiting for another opportunity to win but such opportunity may take a longer time to achieve. However, One can use cash out because that is what is made for but no need to express regret when it turns out it would have been to the player's favour.

Cash out is only for the weak, since I'm not a weak person, I never cash out my bet even though things doesn't looks good.

Don't let your emotion to control your decision because it's just temporary. Probably you're not think twice before make a bet, so you're still not completely sure if you won't make any change in your prediction.

I had a similar experience in the past, and all I have is regret. We are gambling to win big, not to minimize our losses and that should be the goal. For weak gamblers, to avoid cashing out a winning bet because of fear, it's advisable not to watch the game. That way, we can feel relaxed....  8)

The thing is, before selecting that bet, whether it's a parlay or a single bet, you studied it, and you were confident in your pick. Cashing out would make your effort useless.

That's happened to many gamblers and not just you. Sometimes we are not sure with our analysis and doubt that we can win much money. We cash out the money but then when we checked the live score, we shocked seeing the result. That's gambling and we should not feel bad because we can't get much money than we expected. We should think that someday, we can win that much money and it's better to enjoy the money we get. But sometimes, we need to thanks to ourselves that we cash out the money before the match is end, especially if the results is not going to be what we want. We must remember that we playing gambling only for have fun and not make money unless you really want to make money from gambling. If that so, you need to have a better analysis so you will not doubt with yourself.

Sigh! :'( when are you going to accept that luck is luck, forget what you think you know, this is gambling, a place where skills in your skull isn't even needed, don't think you can outsmart anything, it's a complete game of luck, when you think about a possibility always think about two outcomes.

It's either it goes very bad or very good, but if you think that you are in control, brother you are not, accept your win and erase that guilt or feeling that you might have won a lot more, there is no room for such as a gambler, if you give room for such you will end up in problem later.

Wait till the day your instinct lead you astray, who are you going to complain to? Just because you are right now doesn't mean you should start listening to the voices in your head that you believe to be the calling, you will be shocked, keep doing this and keep us posted.

I almost made the same mistake yesterday but I resisted that fear and left the game. I played an accumulator containing Atalanta vs Bologna - over2.5 and Napoli vs Juventus- both teams to score, total of 4.1 odds. The first game which played earlier went on and delivered correctly after which the cashout was displayed and I was already in huge profits. I decided to wait for the second match because I already calculated the risk and it was within my limits. Napoli scored in first half and I started waiting for Juventus to score which they never did even until 80th minute and I was seriously tempted to cash out what I was offered. It took me serious courage to resist that urge and eventually Juventus scored in the 81st minute and I was so excited to have won the sleep.

Cashing out is not a bad choice but sometimes it is good to let it run. The whole thing comes back to what you posted about following ones instincts.

Emotional stability and experience are important aspects of gambling. Indeed, these factors play a significant role in how individuals approach and engage with gambling activities. Gambling is actually playing games to have psychology waves that make gamblers feel that are doing things in the game eventhough physically they are not.

Inexperienced gamblers may struggle with emotional control and decision-making when faced with uncertainty and the potential for loss. The fear of losing money and the anxiety of not knowing the outcome can lead them to make impulsive decisions, such as cashing out prematurely. This behavior is often driven by a desire to alleviate immediate discomfort and uncertainty, even if it means missing out on potential gains in the long run. Experienced gamblers understand that uncertainty and fluctuations are inherent in gambling, and they develop the patience and resilience to withstand temporary setbacks in pursuit of greater returns.

It happens when we gamble. If you think that you have no confidence with your bet, you better just don't bet at all because that's what you'll get disappointed with to yourself. You'll even have hard time in moving on and that's why if you have that instinct that you should have bet on that and didn't cashed out early, you've got the money but since you're too paranoid and you think that it is going nowhere, you did what you have to do. And as we decide not to pursue live bets, if you decided to take your money back, there's no coming back upon doing it.

Start the question to yourself of what if you lost that bet? Are you going to be angry still with yourself because you have taken your money and bet back? I bet that you are not because you have got the money. With these circumstances, we all think about the after results that are too positive for us but if the opposite goes, you'd still have the same emotion for being angry. I think that before you gamble, check your emotion or much better don't gamble at all because having these signs that you've got emotional problem, if this grows, you'll have to deal with this kind of behavior of yours hardly.

It seems like you were talking about me on this. I remember when I started gambling newly, I was so frightened not to lose. It was bad to the point that even after making predictions, I ended up not playing the game because of fear of losing. At this time, it was so difficult for me to maintain my cool but gradually I gained confidence on the ground that the money I was afraid to lose, was still spent on frivolities. It was after this thought I learned to control my emotions and I must say that it has helped me so far in my gambling.

Emotional stability allows gamblers to make rational decisions based on probabilities and potential outcomes rather than being swayed by impulsive reactions to wins or losses. I now understand the importance of managing risk. I can assess my risk tolerance and make calculated bets accordingly. Emotional stability helps gamblers stick to their predetermined risk management strategies.

Well my instincts do tell me to stop gambling altogether and stake my FUN instead, but I guess that's easier said then done lol

This is not something new, but I would not have felt so bad if it were me, as I have taken such decisions most of the time, and sometimes I do let go and allow the match to just play the way it is supposed to play; if it enters, it enters, but if it plays, so be it. That's what makes me a gambler. 
 
Either way, you did not lose completely in the game; you have some money cashed out because you did not believe in your prediction. Just 1 minute left in a game can change the entire situation. In most cases, I don't give up until the whistle for the last minute has been blown.

It is not for the weak but he just did it on the wrong time when he's not yet in profit but just felt that he's scared and want to cash it out.

As he said, there are times that we have to follow our instincts and if we think of pulling and cashing out our bets, that's okay and put that into priority without thinking of the what ifs that shall come next.

I agree, think twice before you make a bet and if you have already made a decision that there's no stopping after you cast a bet. But that option is there and made by the casino for someone who changes his mind every now and then.

When you experienced things like this, don't think you made a wrong choice by allow the game to end to see the outcome of the results because some times you can cash out and the game end to your first prediction which we have seen cases like this in the gambling center.

 Even me too, I don't monitor my ticket until the game end before I will check the result to know whether I win or lose because, I know one thing must happen in that prediction either you win or you lose which are some things that is encouraging me not to monitor my games till the end of the games.

Don't feel bad about the whole incident of cashing out before time, just take it as one of those things gamblers experience on a bet that they cash out before time, which they would have waited.

We have heard of stories on how some gamblers have refused to take out their cash-out request from their bet games and ended up losing to it without earning any money. But in your case, you earn something, which is a bonus to you than not earning money at all.

Have you reasoned in a situation where you waited for your bets to finish, and you later lost to it, what would you have done? To complain bitterly about how you missed the cash-out opportunity given to you right?

At times, we don't have to generally feel bad about some of the gambling decisions we took because it can be the best decision we took as of then when we were confused about our bets games on what to do "requesting a cash-out or not"

Well, this is common amongst gamblers as we try our best to loss everything in one round. You shouldn't regret or blame your self over this. That because what if you had left it without cashing out and eventually you have lost?
You see some more reason why gambling more of luck.
When we gamble, we shouldn't regret any move  or think probably that a recent move must have given use a win.
Yea it might be true but if luck doesn't play in, we might as well loss the funds. It's a normal thing to cash out very early as a gambler as this will help you reduce your risk of losing all.

Avoiding second guessing yourself is important, but just as you are mad that things did not go your way, if you had been correct then right now you will be happy about cashing out earlier.

So unless you know very well what you are doing you are better off just making your bet and sticking to it to the end, as every single time you take a decision like that you are allowing the casinos to get an edge over you, since casinos would not offer you the option to cash out early, if it was not in their best interest to do it.

I mean that was pretty normal I guess and happened to most of the gamblers, there are just really sometimes when your emotions could hit and you are just afraid of losing then end up going on the safer bets or maybe instantly cashing out just to make it safe right. I have many similar situations because when I gamble what I really don't want to happen is to lose my control on my emotions, like losing it and end up losing all of my money on the bet because I get frustrated in the bets and want to get my money back.

It happened to me a lot of times already, but I would agree to just stick with your instinct on a bet rather than regretting it in the end but still, if you think that you already make a good amount on your betting I would easily cashout that money, then continue growth the small amount again to accumulate profit. As you can see I usually do 500PHP of bet which is around 10$ only low bets with a much higher return, with the strategy I could continue with any bet with no problem even if I lose since I could easily recover from it.

Not just in gambling, I think that in most aspects of your life, it would be a good advice to stick to your instincts, I can't count how many stuff that lead to me doing stupid things if I didn't follow my gut and so far, it paid off so far because I didn't got into any trouble. With gambling though, it's a bit different for me since I don't do much betting but when I do, definitely my instincts are going to be useful. It's also worth noting that there's going to be some times that it's not your gut that's talking to you and you would be doing some decisions that are totally wrong.

Another thing that we should consider is that we'll also going to be factoring in reality, I mean look at the teams that you're betting, your instincts might say you bet on the higher odds but the reality is that they're playing against the strongest team on the league and it's not great that you should waste your time when the obvious pick is already there.

I find that the best way to prevent a early cashout, is to not watch the game live or to look at the bets on the site.

You can see the odds for the game changing in real-time, while the game are being played and that might tempt you to cashout early... so avoid watching that.

I record the games and I watch them the next day. I can then free up some time to do something else and also forward through a game that are boring.  ;D

Does gamblers really have instincts or it is again just a pure luck? This of this, if this is an instinct, then it can be trained, inherited, it is somewhere in DNA. It cant out of nowhere, there must be an explanation of its existence. Yet we have in this gambling section have discussed already that it is impossible to get gambling genes, nor train any advantage in prediction. So isnt it then just some kind of form of random, rather than an instinct? And you notice how this work only in win scenario? We always caught our-self thinking "if I would do this, I would have won". But we hardly pay attention or focus on "If I would have done this, I would have lost".

The reality is that most people won't stand a chance, instincts or not, against the vast data analysis that is performed and applied by all the biggest bookmakers out there. Sure, you will get lucky on occasion and beat the odds, but these bookmakers are winning on the long term because they've got this "brain power" processing their odds. In this scenario your instincts were overwhelmingly telling you to cash out, which put it at direct odds with your original instinct of how it would play out, so you wouldn't know which instinct to follow in the scenario given.

I don't like regretting my actions because there is nothing I can do to change it. OP is unhappy that he cashed out because he could have won higher if he had left the game. But we fail to recall that sometimes cashing out is a good option because the game might end up unfavourable. If the said bet didn't play like it happened, OP would have regretted that he didn't cash out. Some gamblers are high-risk takers who are willing to take any form of risk just to win the highest stage. Low-risk takers are always comfortable with little or average wins because they don't have the guts to take high risks. OP congratulations on your win because many people have not won any game for a long time.    

So it needs to be instilled in the mindset of always being complacent about what has been obtained.
People who are too greedy and always lack with the victory produced, let alone it is a big victory, in the end it will only be a looming defeat.

Seeing some gamblers who are just squandering their money in pursuit of uncertain winnings, they don't have any guidelines.
In the end, they will lose it all and regret it.

Too bad, but when I started to gamble, there was one a wise man who advise me not to change my bet. As in the beginning I will bet on horse racing, but suddenly I will scratch my bet and doesn't want to put money on it because it was a long shot. But damn, after that it won and so I learn my valuable lessons there.

And so moving forward, I don't change or do early cash out. If I lost the game, then I will take that L. Instead of like cashing out early and then later regret it. So yes, you should trust your instinct as a gamble no matter what the odds are.

The lesson you should tell others shouldn't be about your instinct, because you will not going to be right always, the only thing that I could call a lesson here is to learn how to take small risks in gambling, if all you have as risk management is your instinct you will burn yourself up and you will be full of regrets later on.

Because you are right today, won't make you right the next time, even if your instinct is at work again, do you know how many millions of gamblers are in this world? Many rely on their instinct as you are and yet they make all the mistakes possible, they end up losing a lot to gambling.

Insticnt, strategies, patterns, vunerabilities, all these are just for a fraction of time in gambling space, they don't always work for everyone as time goes on, not for long before you realize that you are on your own, and everything you think you knew will disappear in a flash of second.

so true. Sometimes instinct will grow together with greed. and also sometimes because of our belief in a particular team. So it could be that the instinct that emerges is the opposite and not in accordance with what we want.

Trusting our instincts alone is not always good because when we say instinct, it may be lacking of proper analysis. So, what you did there is only right and shouldn't be guilty of, and I think in modes like this in sports betting, the cash-out options are not always there showing, so it's a kind of privilege already for us to make use of them. I saw lots of sports bettor before who regretted badly that they didn't use the cash-out option and lost their nice winning streaks.

Your advice of sticking to our instinct is still right but is only applicable to the gambling games that works randomly. I think this is the same as sticking to one side only which is a must, so that no regrets are going to be felt, in case the results go south.

Many of us have been in this situation before and I bet you, OP wouldn't be advising us to stick to our instincts if the game didn't play well at the end. Trusting our instincts hasn't proven to be very effective in gambling, his instincts might deceive him the next time he relies on it.

We cannot always trust our instincts to give a fair judgement or good recommendations.  As humans, many factors such as fear, greed, sentiment, bias etc might influence our thoughts and we will begin to feel that's our instincts telling us the right thing to do. Remember, instincts act in response to all this factors and our environments too, therefore we should be careful not to follow our instincts blindly. In many cases, I have followed my instincts while gambling and most times,  I lost. A proper analysis and understanding of what you are gambling on will help boost your confidence and this time, it is safe to trust your instincts.

Sportsbetting is fun when you don't use the cash-out option no matter what is happening in the game. Be confident about your bet, and that is only possible if you have done enough research and analysed both sides before placing your bet, but if you have chosen a side randomly just because you think they are the better side, you will not feel confident and you would want to get your money back when you see there is tough competition, etc.

When you make your bets, close the sportsbook where you did it, watch the games and enjoy. Don't keep the sportsbook open, and be ready to cash out as soon as you see some instability in the game. That's now how you gamble in sports betting, at least I don't do it that way.

This is what I do as well, those cash out options are offered to allow gamblers to second guess themselves and make a mistake, and the best way to avoid this is by not pay attention at all to those offers.

Now this is easy for those that like to just make their bets and forget about them, but for those that also like to make live bets this is way more complex, since they have no way to ignore those offers as they will be reminded about them by the casino in a regular basis.

From my experience, I stand on the opinion that humans have instinct and this instinct even manifests in the area of gambling. I have won in gambling simply by following my inner mind. Sometimes in the course of predicting games something might just tell me to remove certain games or options and when I follow my mind I end up winning. Let me share an experience here to justify the role of instinct in gambling. Early this month, a friend of mine called me on the phone to tell me that his instinct was telling him that the Sheffield vs Arsenal match in the English Premier League would produce over 5goals. Surprisingly, the game produced over 5goals and I won the bet because I followed my friend`s instinct.

Well, this doesn’t happen all the time because there are times I doubt certain games based on my instincts and then remove the game only for the game to play and even sometimes when my instinct directs me to play a game, I still lose. The nature of gambling has made it so impossible to win even with your instinct.

Instinct is nothing more than a feeling that exists in humans, which means that there is always the possibility that your feelings are wrong, and I think it is a stupid idea if you say that by strengthening your instincts you will win, or victory depends on how strong your instincts are in a game, but yes we come back to the fact about gambling which is an activity that cannot be learned because anyone can never know 100% accurately that they will be able to win at the end of the session.

Everything is always about the unknown, and yes it means that it is true that we gamble using instinct especially when we gamble in the type of bet that is pure luck, but if you are involved in the type of gambling that is based on skill such as sports then yes it is like combining skill, instinct and also luck, But don't get too confident in yourself about a decision that comes out of what you feel because most likely it will only make you feel more disappointed when it turns out to lose, and also because not always our instincts go according to what we want, so my advice is not to prioritize and force gambling because there is always no certainty of actually winning at the end of the session, meaning make gambling nothing more than an activity to fill time when bored.

You only play with the money you place on the bet, you usually don't enter any results or live until the match is over. The more clever you think you are, the more danger you have to face, because I had already bet on a few matches before and lost the match within a short span of time. Especially the game ends within 1 to 2 minutes of the referee's whistle signal and I took it the most.

Yes when we are investing or putting our money based on games where luck is involved, we need to follow our instincts only. This is the best and only thing we can do. Gambling is not a skilled based activity which can be influenced by other things. Hence, the best is to follow the instincts and bet accordingly. My instinct always say me to not bet with high risk. I always go for low risk and low profit games, and it always results in wins.

This is the thing that bettors hate the most when they don't really believe in their intuition and choose to cash out, but not long after, their intuition turned out to be right and it was very unlucky that they didn't get what they should have gotten. But this is gambling, anything can happen, sometimes we are too sure about something but lose, or conversely we are not too sure but win in the end - it's all luck, so when that happens there's no need to regret it too much.

You are putting the spotlight where you shouldn't be putting it and in this I agree with Outhue.


Although I would express it differently. Agbamoni and Oshosondy have broken the first rule of the good gambler: gamble with money that you don't need, that you can afford to lose. If the possible outcome of the game is making you nervous to the point of rushing to cash out, it is an amount of money that is important to you, and therefore you are not respecting that rule.

Well, that time you cashed out, it was your instinct that telling you to do so as well, so I think what you meant is that you should trust your FIRST instinct, which was the time you placed your bet and choose the odds and never try to alter anything no matter what happens while the game is still in process.
Anyway, scenarios like this happens all the time and the most frustrating one was when the type of betting you choose let's you alter your bet anytime during the game. Nevertheless, it is the bookies that's messing with your mind because either way it is a gonna be a win-win situation for them. So, yeah that's how every betting works, you need to think and trust your instincts. The problem is, there are too many instincts your mind tends to develop in the process LOL.

Trusting your instincts is very important. It sounds like you had a strong feeling about those games, but later on, decided to cash out early instead of sticking to your initial prediction. It's frustrating when things don't go or play out the way we anticipate, especially when we let our doubt influence our decisions. It's a lesson learned that next time, you can trust your gut a bit more and see how things will play out.

I'm telling you!
The story would have been the reverse of the case if he had lost and failed to cash out at the time he did. Gambling is a game of luck and their isn't a better way to go about it. If your instinct works for you at this time and you've won, that's good enough but it's not to say it will always work that way. A friend gave me a sure bet that I refused playing because my instinct didn't subscribe to it, it later turned out that the game played and I had to facey reality cause that's what it is.

Exactly, when they failed to follow their minds and the result came out right, they blame their minds but when the opposite happens they thank themselves for not getting greedy.

This would have been the case if this OP loses the prediction, I don't know why people behave this way, it's very hard for them to accept that they have no power over anything that's based on predictions, anything can happen.

Instead of him to be thankful of the little that he got, he is here blaming himself for not listening to the voices in his head, thinking that he is a god-like being, when you understand time and human beings you will be able to appreciate, some things are beyond our control but its a blessing if we accept this truth.

We can actually win or lose in gambling, but the question we should ask ourselves, how are we doing on long term? Sometimes we just want to trick our mind as there are times we felt so confident and we won, with that kind of feeling, we are so overwhelm making us overconfident next time. But the law of average will come to play, eventually we will lose in the long run.

So here's the truth, enjoy gambling, limit your stake to what you can afford only, and everything will be fine since anytime you can stop and resume gambling. It's very simple as that, you don't need to be emotionally attach in every result of your bet, consider it as a daily occurence where losing and winning are possible.

I do totally agree on this one that you would really be having that different sentiment or comment on the time that you would really be able to experience whether it is opposite on what your instincts tell you or would really be that getting in line with it. We do know that not all the time those those instincts does work or would really be always right. When it comes to gambling choices then it would really be that totally depending on you because there are really times or moments that we would really be having that kind of feeling that we do need to skip or pass out on such bet.

Sometimes it do really ends up on a good call for you not to be able to do so. In my case then it is really just that on break even on which i dont
really put up that attention too much whenever those inner voices would really be telling up something.

  This topic is so interesting, reasons is because most atimes some gamblers instincts don't doesn't work at all, because some people bet and don't border about checking the games.
   However, it's not bad but on one side it's bad, when you bet on games that's runes for a week or 3,4 days you should be at alert to check the game.
   Although some gamblers don't consider checking in games because they might be very busy or what ever.
   My other reason is because of you don't check your bet and the house give you an option to cash out or continue playing then the game lost at last, you might not be happy for it, so the best way to keep this cool is just gamble and still be watchful for any opportunity.
   Like yesterday I persuaded my friend to cash out his game because the other ones are not trustworthy. And finally the games were lost.
   I am trying to say, sometimes your instincts doesn't work but you just have to try someones opinions.

As long as you didn’t lose your betting amount then you shouldn’t feel bad about your decision, in another case maybe you would save your betting from a loss. Actually your instincts are the reason why you cashed out early because you felt that the match maybe going to the wrong side and you would lose, your instincts pushed you to give up but not losing anything, remember this lesson as a good thing for your next bets and maybe the next time you bet and cash out early will prevent you from losing.
We all had one similar experience at least, sport betting is something very entertaining and stressful at the same time, especially when you are following that game which is going to your side then everything changes at the very last minutes of the match, then you get that feeling of regret not taking some of that profit instead of continuing with your bet.

I believe the option of cashing out only a part of your bet is a good feature, I have never encountered a casino or a sportbook that allows you to withdraw a part from your bet, all the casinos I know only offering cashing out the full bet during or before the game starts.

Uncertainty is what makes us like that, and I have also experienced something almost similar to you, where I placed a small bet because at that time I felt less confident about winning the bet, but for some reason at that time I really wanted to place it. he. a bet even though I didn't feel confident enough to do it. and the final result of the bet was beyond my expectations, I managed to win the bet, although with a bit of annoyance, annoyed because I only placed a small bet, and if at that time I had placed a fairly large bet, it might have been a win. I found it would be even bigger. And the opposite also happened, where I lost a fairly high bet, even though at that time I felt very confident in being able to win the bet.

Yes, but after all it is also gambling, which is full of uncertainty and surprises. So we must always be able to accept the final result of a gamble we play or a bet we place, regardless of whether the final result is a win or a loss. We don't need to regret it, because defeat is something we will definitely get, while victory is only a possibility.

Now we're playing mind games, right? Gambler's cycle: deceive, feel invincible, crash, burn, repeat. This tantalising tango with fate is based on "I'm in control." It's illusion. You suggest betting less, enjoying the game, and staying calm. Simple, right? Wrong

What matters in gambling is how you react to winning or losing. The law of averages is more than math - it reminds us of our vulnerability to the same trick in different disguises. You say you're not emotionally attached, but isn't the excitement or misery of winning or losing the point?

Gamble within bounds is wise, but how frequently does the line blur? Society says, "Just one more time," and "what you can afford" becomes rationality. Daily, you say? More like a daily willpower test where the true gamble is within

I really doubt that this kind of scenario will help user in their future bets because doubts is always a huge factor whenever there’s money at risk. The more you play using money that you can’t afford to lose the more distracted and doubtful you are as the match proceed. Gambler never learn lesson because each bet is independent to each other which means what happened to your previous bet will not happened exactly to your future bets that’s why there’s always a confusion on gambling.

All this doubt and confusion will be avoided if gambler will just bet small money or an amount they are willing to lose so that they can stick to their decision without thinking again.

Sport gambling has been fun all along before the initiation of the cash in feature. Which leaves gamblers like Op wondering over the best choice to take towards the end of a game. Imagine the joy he would have gotten after the suspense, and he ends up winning the game. The feature has helped in securing wins for most gamblers, but its disadvantage affects the thoughts of the player, to think he's not good enough in listening to his instincts.

Don't know how well the casino benefits from such features, gamblers complain about this a lot. Funny how gamblers don't feel comfortable with any feature casinos add to their platform. Shows how uncertain every feature close to gambling is to the players. Hence, players need to level up and be grateful for whatever result that appears to them, regardless of the level mistake. It's a two-way street, and one can't move in both ways at once.

You are right in this, but as a player I prefer to withdraw and miss out on winning rather than continue playing and lose everything or lose more than half, because that is what happens with the majority of people who are in a casino, they cannot do the right thing because of suddenly greed sets in and everything ends there, I prefer that, because the regret for not earning more is not the same as that of losing everything or losing a large part of our money, that is what has to be evaluated, for That is why we have to be very astute and always do the right thing so that the best possible can be generated.

Sometimes it is better to earn a little money but safely, than to risk earning a lot of money and suddenly losing everything. I am very complacent in that regard. I prefer to have money in my pocket than to lose everything. You must always take advantage of these opportunities. life and what we get in the casinos.

Exactly what I want to say, bettors might not know what to say or what to do when they come across some cash out in their games... But like the thread title, we should all follow our instincts because there is nothing or someone can advise you that's going to benefit you more than what your instincts tells you.
Although sometimes one might think he is going the correct things but not knowing that what he's doing is bad because he is not concentrated on it or doesn't care about it... Things about cash out is what you have to decide on your own, and you don't have to allow someone decide for you because if someone does decide for you to cash out and you did them lastly the whole games plays you won't be happy with your friend because he made you lose your huge winning.

I support your opinion on the fact that it is preferable to withdraw and miss out on winning rather than continue playing and risk losing everything or losing more than half. This decision is often driven by the fear of sudden greed taking over and causing detrimental consequences. The regret of not earning more is considered less severe compared to the regret of everything. Remember half bread is better than none. Although, some greedy gamblers have lost everything in their quest to end more.

I was at a betting shop where someone won $5000 and his friend advised him to stop for the day and plan how to spend his winning and maybe return later. He refused and instead told his friend that he wanted to try two more times then he would leave. He kept trying and trying until the money became $1700. Even at that, his friend told him to go back with the $1700 on the ground that he was still profiting, but he still refused and then lost everything. It was after losing everything that he said he would have listened to his friend. To make the best possible decisions in such situations, one must be astute and always prioritize responsible gambling.

Gambling is broad and we can not continue earning without losses. Regrets in space, but that does not imply we should give up on the system. We might anticipate more negative and positive situations in the gambling industry. What do you expect from the system besides winning and losing? I've learned how the system fails and disappoints the majority of gamblers; the flaws will continue to exist because gamblers are unwilling to accept full responsibility for their actions, preferring to shift blame to another source.

That's probably a good way for people who lack patience and self-control, however, people who know that they can control their emotions and wouldn't get tempted by the odds getting changed or anything would enjoy watching the games that they have their bets on. I have that habit as well, if I place a bet, I won't look at my bet and how it's doing, but I always enjoy watching the game live to see what is going to happen.

Gambling is not for people with no control over their emotions because it is a requirement that you stay calm and patient after you have placed your bet and also after the outcome of your bet because whether it's a win or a loss, it's yours to have and it is the outcome of your own decision.

That is what is killing a lot of gamblers they do not believe in themselves, and what is now the essence of calling yourself a gambler?  because if its always about other people, then you should not complain when you do not win because it's the person's fault, Even those who we think are good at prediction are all luck, and the majority of them are faking their win, which is why people are believing them. and are also losing confidence in themselves. Just continue to play and you will get lucky most of the time because playing every time will give you a better understanding of something, and you will improve. That is how to succeed in gambling.

Depending or following other people's predictions in gambling will actually only make you disappointed at the end of the session, no matter if they basically say and claim that they are very experienced so they can get more wins, you should be suspicious of such ideas because after all in gambling no one is great at predicting if they are nothing more than the same player as you, but if they are a croupier or casino owner themselves then yes maybe their advice can be trusted if they are honest people.

On the other hand you can't say that there is success or a way to achieve success in gambling, logically if there was wouldn't everyone turn to gambling? Or if that were true then obviously people who have jobs would quit and turn to gambling to be able to achieve success in gambling, but the fact is that no one can succeed in gambling by getting a lot of wins that make them rich, We must understand that gambling is still gambling which is an activity that bets your money based on "ignorance" for the results at the end of the session, and also gambling is not an activity that can be learned, this is the reason why someone can lose and win in different sessions because there is nothing to learn to achieve improvement in winning and also there is no consistency in terms of winning. So in essence, play with personal instincts and don't rely on others, and also understand that gambling is not a learnable activity, this is the reason that gambling is always about "uncertainty" about winning and losing, so just play by applying a lot of risk management and if you win it means you are lucky.

Sometimes I wonder why people make things so difficult for themselves, gambling for those that just want to have some fun is very simple, just assign a budget to it, respect it and have fun.

Only those that are trying to obtain profits with it need to worry about other factors, and even then the majority of those people will do well to forget about reaching their goal, as it is obvious that casinos will do their best to make the life of those gamblers as difficult as they can, which means only the most exceptional gamblers out there can make money with it.

The last paragraph catch my attention, do you think we have exceptional gamblers? Because I don't think if there are exceptional Gamblers, gambling is a game of luck and there might not be and exceptional person. Except I haven't met one. For the past few years of my gambling experience I have just noticed that people who seems exceptional are just people whom where lucky to win more frequently but that doesn't make them exceptional may be they where just lucky.

When you gamble for fun you feel at ease and happy even at a losing point. When you focus too much on the proceeds you wish to gain from gambling, you can become addicted as time goes and may even become emotional when you don't get a win. There is no exemptional gambler in gambling as every one literally plays to their knowledge and winning is based on luck and not professionalism.

I know many gamblers who don't joke with their little opportunity that will come their way in a particular sport bet and the moment they discovered that if they cash out they will gain little profits from it, they will not wait till the end of the game before they will cash out from the bet because if you wait till the end of the prediction something may happen that will make you feel bad.

And those that learned from other people mistakes in the gambling, find it difficult to miss such opportunity in their gambling because they know where to take the boldness to cash out and, they know when to exercise patience for the game to see good results at the end.

When you gamble for fun, you will not thinks much about the outcomes because you gamble in your spare times and not thinks to win on gambling. When someone focus too much to gets win, he will in rush playing gambling and not patience with the outcomes he got. If he lose in the game, he will continues and that will be too long before he can win but that doesn't guarantee him could win. When you gamble for fun, maybe you will gets your luck comes and helps you to win because your minds is not thinks about winning on the gambling games. So your luck comes in the right time and at the right gambling games.

that's why sometimes gamblers also need to listen to their instincts and not be too hasty to get money. if you choose not to withdraw the money and leave it until the game ends, maybe you will get more money than what you got before. but sometimes withdrawing money early can help you to save your bankroll when the game is not going as smoothly as you hoped. so it's quite difficult to choose to withdraw money or not.

I'm not a big fan of encouraging people to follow their guts when it comes to gambling. Among the different gambling styles, I have to admit that this one is amongst the funniest ones (if not the most), but it is also risky if you completely deactivate or lose your ability to reason while playing.

As long as you have established some limits and stick to them, you can follow your instinct while gambling, but don't overestimate the power of your intuitions, because although you can win big following this game style, chances are that you also develop excessive confidence in your ability, and that will make you risk more and lose in the future more than you gained.

To predict gambling results with enough accuracy to guarantee success is a myth. Chance, not talent, defines gambling. Certain methods and risk management measures can marginally improve probabilities, but it's all luck.

This encourages because rapid wins are enticing, but reality is more difficult and grounded. Understanding gambling risks and uncertainty is crucial. I applaud your distrust of "experts". Gambling competence comes from recognizing its uncertainties and managing expectations and finances properly.

Trusting others for gambling advice or predictions is unwise and leads to disappointment. Bettors' luck is unstable and fluctuates. Gambling can be exciting and hopeful, but no one knows the secret to winning consistently. Gamble carefully, know the risks, and most importantly, realize that the results are unpredictable

I have had similar experience too where I cashed out and later had to regret why I did took that action, I had regretted I would have done better if I had been patient a little more I would have won that game I did cashed out earlier but then I had to move on and not dwell so much on the losses I've already experienced because staying back to dwell on it will only keep me in a more depressed mood than it would rather help me so in other tho be on a safe side I make sure to let go as quickly as possible as I can so I get to have the right mindset to be able to gamble better again.

I'm sure most gamblers aswell have also had similar experience with such as they have cashed out too early and had to regret later of what they actually did initially because they would have won better amount as compared to that which they actually did won cashing out.

There's quote "the winner celebrates and the losers explains".

This happens in almost everything, they always imagine and speculate "I should have done it" "I should have tried it" etc etc instead of learning to accept anything that happen with their decision.

Sometime I don't understand with this kind person, in this life we can't have everything because we're only have 24 hours per day.

They exist but they are very rare, way more rare than what most people believe, probably the most famous ones are poker players, if you follow poker you will see that most of the time a few known players get to every single final table on the world series of poker.

So they are either incredibly lucky or they have a level of skill which is way above their competitors, with the latter being the only rational explanation for the success they got over the years.

An exceptional gambler doesn't mean a person who always wins, is lucky or never loses in gambling. A lot of gamblers are exceptional if you widen your view, or let's put our attention to those people who are always participating in tournaments or those people who are silent and do not announce their winnings.

We can consider them as an exceptional gambler as they can strive in gambling. You might have a limited view and often see those addicted gamblers who always lose and are unable to control themselves.

Though most times this strategy of obeying your instinct when making your preferred selections as a gambler works perfectly but it doesn't  all the time, gambling is a lucky game for me, so as a gambler you most apply any good means that you feel that will be favourable to you for you to achieve your aim.
In gambling, a gambler should know when to say know, though it is very difficult but it can be done, every gambler should device a means of making profit, though it is not a sure thing but someon can decide to be placing a bet on few odds that has a minimal loss outcome with a high stake instead of staking a higher odd with little money.

Correct. Our instincts are not always correct and sometimes there are good things that happen when we go the other way.
I do rely on my instincts when betting on basketball games, it's the spreads where I am always having a hard time choosing. But we should also try to combine instincts with analysis. If a team mostly wins 10+ lead per game then there's a chance they can hit -10 below spread. But, there are times when we get greedy and add more to that spread telling ourselves it is our instincts that tell us it could happen and that's when we make a mistake. I made some regretful bets too where I didn't follow my instincts but still, I used my own analysis and that just means there's more to learn about the game. I still lack experience and I need to step up my analysis so that I won't be relying in instincts too much.

Indeed, when gambling is truly based on having fun and getting entertainment, whatever outcome happens will never think deeply about it, even if it is loss because all can think about is being able to entertain yourself at certain time.
Moreover, gambling just for fun can provide feeling of relaxation and make the mind fresher, we really feel the benefits without any negative impacts occurring.
This will be very different from gambling to chase win and in the condition of trying to chase win will always have thoughts and feelings that tend to be more anxious so that don't feel calm.
In conditions like this, defeat becomes frightening result and changes everything, they will have emotions that increase significantly so that there will be much bigger defeat that will never be accepted.
These two attitudes will show different characters because the mindset and approach are also very different.
I have experienced it all and of course it will provide an experience that can change everything now when it comes to gambling.

this is basically a test of your gambling maturity and how good your instinct his but it's not a loose situation In my opinion. So what would have been you view on this if you had continued waiting for the game to finish only to find out that the game did not play out at the end and that half of the money you should have won if you had cashed out have all gone? I guess it would have down on you that you've been a bit greedy and that's when you will probably know the value of the amount you've won.

Learn to know when to walk away. It's gambling and the outcome is uncertain at the end of the day so you have to stick with that reality and and make use of every opportunity you have the chance of winning. Maybe it played out today and the issue of your instinct comes into play but the next day it might not be so, Gambling is a 50/50 situation, you either win or you loose and that's it. When you have the opportunity to win, take the win positively cause you will still loose in some other time.

I don't think trusting your instincts is a good idea. Good ideas are to trust your statistics, your research, and the patterns you identify. This is what you really should trust. And instincts are something not entirely clear. What are player instincts? Is this intuition? In this case, the description is very similar to intuition. However, it should be recognized that gambling is often counterintuitive. In other words, game patterns may be counterintuitive. This can only be revealed with the help of statistics and original research.

This is the art of placing parlay bet which contains of several match selections. In the process when there is 1 or 2 matches to go and we have made some profit already with the other settled selections, we might be interested to cash it out earlier because we are worrying that the last match will not go as what we want. To avoid confusion while the bet is still going on, it is better if we have decided first what we will do with the bet. Let it go until all matches ended or monitoring it then make early cash out if we feel something bad is going to happen.

Doing research and doing analysis before placing a bet would of course be very good to be able to know which team we will bet on, but when we play slot gambling, of course it will be very difficult to guess and see statistics and we can only play the game based on our instincts and of course this will be very risky and also some people can enjoy the game well, of course gambling is very counter to their intuition and almost every gambling will be very difficult to place a bet based on our feelings and we have to bet according to the statistics of the bet that we installed.

Actually, games like slot machines are play based on intuition or gut feelings rather because their outcomes is usually random with no way for the gamblers to influence the result. For games like sports betting is where your skills and knowledge play important role. Research and analysis is useful in this category of gambling because it gives you additional information on the players or the team entirely to know the strategies to employ and the best options to help you win your bet. However, this doesn't make sports betting more easier than the slot games or guaranteed your winning but it gives you more control of your own bet and of course, increase your chances despite that analysis are not accurate sometimes.

Sports betting depends on the odds as well, no matter how good you are at game analysis, sometimes the odds will play tricks on you. Not unless if you're betting straight up money line by just choosing what team is most likely going to win. However, betting on favorite team will only give you smaller winning than the amount that you bet, the percentage always depends on how underdog the opposing team are.
This is the reason why some sports bettor rather choose to place a bet on the over and under and other odds that offers an attractive winning amount.
Also, the most challenging analysis that you're going to make in sports betting is when you decide to have parlays. The more leg you place the more analysis you're going to make. This will also test your intuition because sometimes you'll get tempted to alter your bets.

From the very first place, the line "Try to stick to your instincts as a gambler" just came up after seeing the result.

What if the other way around happened instead and by not following what's on your instinct, it won instead? Then the line will be changed again, right?

When placing a bet, don't hesitate. If your analysis tells you that's the right bet, then don't confuse yourself on other options.

To try to follow ones instincts is quite hard in this noisy world where everyone is talking and no one is actually listening.
When one decides to gamble how can they truly tell it's their instinct or just a thoughtful decision?
One has to have failed several times, sit down to think upon why such failure happened and strive to correct the errors by doing the right thing or stopping when necessary.
Same applies to gambling, most times we may not know what is the right thing to do, but when we have won enough, mostly after a certain count, it's better to stop than let greed take hold.

That's true, that's a very good idea, which I think blaming one's own instincts is just an action that will only waste time because it's clear, as you said, that if it turns out that at the end of the session the result is winning by not following our own instincts, then we will definitely think and looking for other reasons to justify it, therefore this is what is meant by that gambling is not an activity that can be learned even if it is by using instinct or feeling because after all we will never know about the results at the end of the session.

Therefore, it is clear, as you suggested above, that if for example we already have instincts then just follow your instincts, win or else it will be a matter for later because in any case everything always happens randomly which means that the results at the end of the session will never be known unless you have finished the session. Doubt will only make us blame ourselves and will also make us look for lots of excuses when the results are not what we want.

I always do a mix of following my instinct and statistics because combining these two options led me to more winning bets than rather doing random bets or simply follow some AI predictions or any other craps like this. However , it's good to search for what other people are betting on your events so in this way you will have a second opinion on your bets and then you can wisely chose from your instinct , statistics and also other people bets and outcomes.  ;D

This is not a good option for me because it makes me more confused especially if people from opposite side of the bet give a solid explanation on why they choose those pick. Not only in gambling but also in trading which I missed a lot of profit opportunities to enter low price in new crypto project just because I ask the opinion of others that is biased to their investment.

I learned that trusting my own instincts is always the right choice regardless of the result because I’m risking my money for my own action instead of losing money using other opinion.

I have cashed out on so many bets and lost there. I saw the bets that I was less likely to win but in the end I won those bets. Also, when my betting situation is bad, if I cash out, my return is very low, while if the result changes, I lose completely. I made up my mind that I would not cash out even if I lost. Because if I take a bet, I have to take the risk. So I don't think there is need to cash out. If there is luck in the bet then any way there is a win but if the luck is bad there is nothing to do. So I don't want to cast out and I don't want to regret. It is normal for me when I lose a bet but when a bet results in a win after cashing out it is very painful.

Putting money on a slot machine based on gut instinct is dangerous. It's the high-risk hope for the best gamble. And sometimes that's the rush, right? We seek adrenaline. Slots require more than luck. Machines aren't magical or random. Under the flashing lights are programming, odds, and patterns. Consider it tide study rather than touchdown prediction. You'll never get a flawless read, but disregarding strategy costs money

Gambling is about experiencing the thrill of uncertainty vs controlled risk. It goes against our safety instincts. The hook makes it so appealing. The secret is not always believing your gut. It's about developing your sense with minor bits of knowledge like payment rates and game design. You shape your intuition with those instruments. Spins and decisions are data points. Though it's not a winning formula, it gives you an edge over uncontrolled abandon

Slot machines are based on luck, so you can't control the outcome. This can make them more exciting but also more addictive. Sports betting is different because you can use your knowledge and research to make smarter bets. This doesn't guarantee you'll win, but it gives you more control and can make the game more fun and strategic. One should always know that all gambling has risks, so it's important to be careful and think clearly before going ahead to gamble, in order to avoid gambling out of hand or gradually leading yourself to addiction.

In making a bet, I think we don't just stick to our instincts and feelings, but they must be able to have a balance between instinct and rational analysis. When someone has very strong instincts, this can help him make a betting decision quickly, but this is not a guarantee that when someone has strong instincts it will produce a correct and rational betting decision, so that the final result of the bet is good. installing it will bear sweet fruit. Therefore, it is necessary to combine strong instincts and careful and rational analysis. By being able to produce an analysis result that can be said to be quite rational, apart from this it can help him maximize his chances of winning, but this can also help him to avoid unnecessary risks.

Last week, I picked few matches I wanted bet on and before I could stake on it, one of the games had already started. My instinct tells me to wager on it like that but I ignored and added another game to make my potential winning a round figure. When the games ended it was the one game I added that spoilt my bet. So I understand the feeling, but if one of your games had lost you won't be saying this, so be happy and thankful that you won something regardless of the amount.

At the very end, our judgment of what happened just realized because we see now the result. If we think that our winning rate is not better whether following our own instinct or not, then we can stick on what's the most effective between each two. We can do a test run on our several bets then from there, check what's the better to use in the long-run.

Sports betting is also a tough gambling that even with good analysis, our bet are still subject to a 50/50 win-loss percentage.

The distinction between slot machines and sports betting is like the role of luck versus skill / knowledge in gambling. Slot machines are indeed purely luck-based that offers excitement through the unpredictability of each spin. This unpredictability can also contribute to their addictive nature, because players may chase the elusive big win that is fueled by the adrenaline rush of each spin.

Sports betting allows for the application of knowledge, analysis, and research. It doesn't eliminate the element of chance entirely, informed betting decisions can tilt the odds slightly more in favor, this is why sport betting have certain odds for each bet. This element of control and strategy can enhance the enjoyment of the game for many, because it adds a layer of skill and engagement beyond mere luck. Regardless of the form of gambling, there will be inherent risks involved.

Gambling, sports, or slots has its downside. Like what Op just felt in sports can occur in slot games as well. But in a different context. Slot game happens in a way the gambler will argue with his instinct on whether to hit the next button or stop. He'd imagine he could win on the next one, then try again, if he wins, he'd want to try again, believing that his idea worked. Although sports gambling allows the gambler time to watch the game without doing any other thing, other than thinking, slots put the gambler on steady thinking and gambling. He has no time to rest, he's free once the session is over. Sports betting and slots seem almost similar, and none is easier than the other.

I understand that knowledge and analytical strength are a plus for sports gamblers, but as you said, it doesn't guarantee a win. Like slots, being a professional doesn't mean you'd win. Gambling in any form can't be understood completely. What led Op to withdraw before the final whistle was blown was self-doubt. He didn't want to lose out completely. He wasn't wrong, he got what he wanted. Additionally, he got greedy when he realized that he could have won more if he left the funds untouched. It's a "had I known, I knew" situation, and the player can think about this for a long period.

Your narration is exactly what also happen to me before but my own was removing like 3 game which have already started out of my prediction and replaced with 3 other games but in all the 3 I added, 2played together with other games but 1 still cut the game. I was very angry a terrified seing that I lost the game I could have won. And my instincts was telling me to allow the game to continue and I refused. but went ahead and added some games.

When you wants to use gambling as for fun, you will not thinks about the other things and only wants to spends your spare time. You will focus with the gambling games to gets fun and entertainment and will stop playing gambling after you feels it's enough to playing gambling. You will not force yourself to playing gambling longer because you knows that can risks yourself in losing your money. But when you wants to make money from gambling, your minds will takes over everything and will telling you to continue playing gambling without stop even if you have to deposits more money to chase the win.

Your loses will be bigger than you can expected and that's makes you lost your money. Your loses will makes you become emotional so you can thinks clear what you needs to do because in your minds, you wants to recover the losses no matter if that's hard. Many of us already have that experiences and even worst so we must be careful when playing gambling and always learn and practice self-control and the other things.

As a gambler, there's enough roles to play and risks to be  levelled upon because it's mainly your decision as a vital roles in gambling and most importantly, We're milking from the system back to back, atleast it'd the only evidence that show a gambler to be making huge moves in the market. We're humans and we have instincts and they're very active when it involves the system. Our instincts play a vital role in these our bets, never stop throwing attempts of games because instincts directs us on what to do specifically, making our losing ratio reduced.

I think every gambler still uses their instincts to determine bets, or at least continue the game or stop the game. We don't know how accurate each gambler's instincts are, but instincts can still lead gamblers to bet accurately, or vice versa. Nobody knows the luck of a gambler, they just bet according to instinct. they can win or lose. Some gamblers make bets randomly based on knowledge alone. but if he was lucky, victory would be his.

Actually, we can't explain why most of the time a person's instincts turn out to be right, it's like mind over matter, that what's on your mind, that's actually possible because it's manifested by what we think, we claim what will happen because that's what's on our mind, that's why there are other people who prefer to think only positive things prior a session of gambling and not negative things because sometimes what comes to your mind first, that's really what will happen.

This usually happens amongst gamblers as they do have this Instinct to make a particular pick but then somehow they will find their selves choosing another because they feel it's better only to later regret not following their instinct, sometimes you can't deni the fact that your instincts are correct but you just felt it would have been better you picked the other options you went for, personally I do wagers it, when I make my picks I aswell separately stake on that which my instincts are with aswell so Incase any works I will still be in profit but not all the times this strategy actually works.

Sometimes following your instincts can also includes the number of picks you make too and aswell the the options which your picks are on so which ever it is just stick with your instincts as they are correct most of the times. Instinctively gambling isn't 100% correct but it's a good way of gambling especially when don responsibly.

What you just displayed is a typical human nature, we are never satisfied and always act based on emotion and the feelings of wanting more. This is supposed not to be so, we should be contented and try to do better next time as nothing is perfect in decision-making, not even our instincts. But have you thought of the possibility of losing all the money if that game fails? It would be more painful if you had left it and it lost. This is gambling, the outcome can be either positive or negative, and thankfully, you did not lose your money but gained the amount back, and it is such that could be wagered again the next time, so no hurt feelings here and your decision is heroic to me. I have seen many cases like yours where the bettor would be advised to cash out but did not and lost all the money.

The last one was just last month when I advised someone to cash having won 8 times her wagered amount. She wanted to be adamant and wait just for a single game, but I so much persuaded her to yield my advice and she eventually did. Guess what, the lone game she was waiting for ended against her and she couldn't thank me enough. As gamblers, we should be well managerial in nature and what you just did is called proper management at that time, but it still baffles me how you ended up gaining back just the exact amount you wagered, that must have been outrageously said judging by your picks.

Gamblers should learn to respect their instincts to the extent of knowing when to follow them. Because our instincts can work in a tricky way. Whatever side of thought the gambler chooses is his instinct. Imagine if you never played the three games, Pi-network, and they ended up being positive, you'll still blame it on not listening to your instinct. Both thoughts came from the brain, and one must be right and the other wrong. I remember playing a roulette game, one morning, and the same thing happened my instinct suggested I choose red, and I picked black, then the ball stopped at red. If I had chosen red and the ball stopped at black, I would have called it instinct as well.

Hence, in a game of prediction, whenever a player loses, he shouldn't bother about the other thoughts of what he had played, being the right one. The day happened to be different. And the gambler doesn't have any reason to bother over his mistakes. Yes, we have to listen to our instincts, how do we differentiate which one amongst the double thoughts is right? That's the foundation of gambling. When a person is left with two options, he only has the privilege to pick one. Nothing more nothing less. Nearly cannot kill a bird, as gamblers, we have to move on. Swimming in the ocean of regrets and mistakes only leaves the gambler in the past. Instead of focusing on his next game, he'd wander a lot on his past one. Thereby, repeating mistakes in the next game, as he's not prepared to make the right decisions.

I think however we will never be able to explain the reason why instincts are sometimes right or meaning sometimes our instincts can lead us to victory, but I think it's natural because gambling is about luck which is the name of luck can never be known when it comes and when it goes so this is a strong reason why your instincts are sometimes right and when your instincts are right then actually it's not that you are great and can predict but it's nothing more than just you are lucky.

There's this idea of "sometimes" in that your gut can lead you to win which means your gut can be wrong or you can miss and that's normal because gambling is about "probability" which means you might lose or you might win, so I don't think we can use gut as an excuse for winning because when your gut is right which leads you to win it's actually a situation where you're just lucky and nothing more than that, so it's as simple as that. And also if for example a positive mindset can lead you to victory or can make you able to predict what will happen then I think logically there will be many gamblers who do it for the sake of victory but the fact is that they continue to complain about losing.

Yeah, you're right about intuition and gambling. We all have gut feelings, right? Bet big here, play safe there to deceive the house. Nobody wants to acknowledge it, but the house always wins. You're playing their game no matter how good your instincts are

Yes, instincts are strong. Sometimes they hit, sometimes they implode? That's thrilling and dangerous. Relying on gut feelings alone is dangerous. The goal is accountability. You discuss hedging, split stakes, etc. Is it wise? Maybe short-term. Long-term? Do you want to play that way?

do you believe that a young bettor is always lucky because they always dare to take a big reisk?
this is not a misleading word but indeed logically it is true when you try to bet on sports betting using money that is able to disappear, of course whatever happens you will not do cashhouts and choose to see the more satisfying end result even though sometimes also loses.
but you don't need to feel angry if after you have done cashout because it has become the decision you chose.
maybe by taking a big risk, it doesn't always provide a guarantee of victory, but at least I am more satisfied to see the final result than I have to feel disappointed after cashout but the prediction that I made turned out to be all true and I understand the situation you feel right now you will think if only not doing cashout will definitely get a bigger profit.

all we need to remember and understand from this problem is only how important we bet on sports betting with the amount we are able to disappear and with the amount we have we can take the risk of trust in the predictions we do and believe in our bets.
If you win, of course we will feel happy, but if you lose at least the money lost is money that is not used for other needs.

There are really indeed moments as a gambler on which you would really be able to experience those kind of situations where instincts would really be kicking in or on the time that you would really be having those kind of inner voices that telling this and telling that on what you should gonna do and this is where you would really be having those thoughts that you neither be following it or not on which there are really
times that we do trust up our instincts and there are really times that we do really goes opposite to it. Outcomes and results would really be varying because luck isnt always on our side all the time on which
it would be causing up for those choices neither be resulting into a win or lose on which you could really be able to distinguish on how you would really be treating up those things whether you would be following it
again once it do happen or not.

Following predictions provided by an AI model might not be the brightest idea because AI models are not up to the mark for now and they can be wrong sometimes with their predictions and analysis, however, one can use them to get assistance with their research and analysis by collecting data and statistics that they then can compare to see which side has better chances of winning a game.

I'm also not a fan of following instincts when it comes to making sports bets because your instincts are based on your emotions and understanding of things or events from the past, and the outcome can always be different than that. So, one should only rely on research and analysis when it comes to sports betting.

Actually believing in My instinct as a gambler has actually kept me growing , there is always confusion And possible losses when you doubt yourself , every prediction has a way out always try As much as possible To be positive minded as a gambler .whenever i place bet i usually believe that i will win And there nothing anybody will tell me that i will make me cash  out,because cash out is very tempting And that is one of the reasons why i Dont track My gambling Progress because  you might be tempted To cash out.

I have once had a problem when it comes To cash out And since then i have been very conscious about My games,i once placed game that worth 2million in My local currency And after a while i saw cash out of 500k then i Was in doubt with My spirit then i cash es out And AT the end of the whole  thing all the games played as predicted And since then, i hated advice when it comes To gambling And pay more attention or My instinct.

If it's just about instincts, I'd rather follow my own predictions than AI, why? Isn't it only humans who control the AI, by inputting information and such things that they learn from humans? There is also a big chance that his predictions will not match compared to what our personal analysis will be. If our predictions are wrong, at least we must admit to ourselves that we made a mistake, there is no one else to blame but ourselves.

When a person begin to blame himself consistently in a behavior he can't control, soon, wouldn't it get tiring? He, the gambler, wouldn't feel comfortable playing the game, because he's lost confidence in himself. Accurately, a person can blame himself and pick correction that'll help change his life positively. That works on realistic achievements where some determination is needed to accomplish. Gambling with or with no determination, huge funds will get milked away by the inflammation, and losses.


It's also funny that players talk about relying on AI to improve their profits. I've not seen a gambler thay seeks for  gambling help from a toddler, but AI brain is below that of a toddler cannot equate. AI is not as intelligent as a baby. Like you said those AI learn languages for a long time and master how to answer designated questions. How then will a player trust an AI for prediction, If not greed. Human brain is far better and accurate than the AI in terms of predicting games and other human brain task.

And instincts develop through experience and constant exposure to what you are playing with be it on sports betting or traditional game son casino. Because basically, betting is just putting something in value for what you believe would happen next. Simply put, you are standing beside your beliefs. That's why many opposes using AI, because they don't want AI to dictate to them what they should believe in.

What AI can do instead for you is to provide you data and can also help you manage your risk. But still you use it to build up your own conviction, and once you have it clicked for you that gave you signal what to do. You bet on it.

In the past, I often guessed four matches in football every time I wanted to bet and on average I lost the win in one or two matches, only occasionally could I guess the win for all four clubs in one bet.
In football betting I tend to try to make predictions based on the strength of opponents and the results of previous matches, whereas instinct is just the last resort I use in making bets.
Sometimes we try to decide on a bet by cashing out, but on other occasions we think we will win. However, in the next bet it is not certain that we will win the bet.

Well, another question is that what if you have lost like I mean what if the game did not play and the cash app was the only money you got back up after your prediction so it’s not something you should blame yourself it’s just a matter of time next time you may play and leave the game to play while it’s just a way because sometimes you have glad that why didn’t cash out because he’s so cash out and you didn’t cash out and you lost so there is no point of you blaming yourself you angry it’s just gambling everyone pension money so knowledge of making money that is why your conscious and cashed amout was was available

Doesnt matter on what are the things that you would be having in mind or on how you would be treating up such condition because it would really be just that still ending up on the same possible outcome whether you would be losing up that bet or not. We do know that luck would be always the main factor whether you have pushed up that bet or did really cash out early or secure your profits because you have some doubts.
On the end if the said bet did make out some win then you would really be having that kind of regret but on the time that loses then you would be telling that it was really just that a good call.
Sometimes it cant really be avoided that there are moments on which we are really that having those inner voices on the time that we do play.

Ideas something like this and have those odd feelings that you should cash out early is there. Its neither you would be following it or would really be going against it.
