Try to stick to your instincts as a gambler

[Agbamoni]

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.

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.

[rdluffy]

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

[Churchillvv]

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.

[Slow death]

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.

[Natsuu]

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. 

[Accardo]

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.

[danherbias07]

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. 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.
