Try to stick to your instincts as a gambler

[angrybirdy]

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.

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.

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.

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.

[joeperry]

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. 

[Strongkored]

I felt so angry and unhappy because i have not trusted my instincts if not i wouldn't have cashed out at that time.

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.

[Solosanz]

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.... 

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.

[ethereumhunter]

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.

[Crypt0Gore]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 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.

[Zanab247]

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.

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.

[Marykeller]

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"
