My experience on live bet

[Ethan151]

It was my first attempt at playing a live game. I wagered #1000 on a winning range of #7,000 on three live games out of a total of seven odd. I started to question why this sport bet robot was acting that way after two of the three games had already been played, even if I eventually won the game. At that point, my cash out was #1,641.

At that point, my cash out was #1,641.

Is that Nigerian Naira currency? It's just that I just looked it up and I see it's the equivalent roughly to $1.2, and I imagine the Nigeria cost of living is lower but I don't imagine it's such a large amount to make a cashout.

[Lida93]

Why will I want to bet a game with 1k just to later cash out 1,641, it's like saying I made a profit of 641. Who does that! I am that gambler that don't fancy cash out that much which why before I place my bet I have before then made up my mind that there's no room for cash out be it  live match prediction or prematch.

I take so much exception for cash out as they have high tendency of making you settle for less by putting the gambler in a tight corner to be force to quit from furthering on with the risk of getting his profit in full. And for such games with small amount of potential win of what good will a cash out amount be.

[Don Pedro Dinero]

Why will I want to bet a game with 1k just to later cash out 1,641, it's like saying I made a profit of 641.

Perhaps because of what the OP said:

It was my first attempt at playing a live game.

Maybe because it was the first time he simply wanted to try his luck and that's it, he won and withdrew the money. I don't know about you, but the first times I bet I was very cautious. Nowadays I wouldn't make a bet like that but back in the day I could have done it.

[Gozie51]

Congratulations first timer who got scared and ran away with 641 naira  .

Probably you had total of 7 odds to give you that potential winning amount of 7433.37 naira with your staking of 1,000 Naira. Experienced player would have allowed the game go on and maximize his profit afterall the risk isn't high.

And some other gambler would have gone for more risk by adding to their bankroll.

So it is just different for different player but a bet that is cashed out might have gone ahead to win all or might have also been a total lost, it is two ways. It is about the decision we want to take

[livingfree]

An achievement it is if it's your first time betting and winning on a live game. I don't bet into such but make sure that this don't overjoy because what may happen later on is you'd be wagering more or what you cannot afford to lose.

The excitement and joy is there and that's why I am giving you a reminder to please be reminded about that and always get yourself in control. Because with first time wins, this is where our confidence is being built.

And you'd never know how far it will bring you if you don't watch yourself out.

[pawanjain]

Our first bet is always a special one. The thrill and excitement we have for the first bet can never be matched.
I guess you tried to play safe and cashed out early but even 1.64x is not a bad return. That is 64% itself.
So congratulations but you set yourself a budget every time you place and try not to exceed it.

[Porfirii]

And you'd never know how far it will bring you if you don't watch yourself out.

That's why some people say that having bad luck the first time you play is actually having quite good luck. So you won the bet, and chances are that you're reliving it in your memory and waiting for a new opportunity to repeat the feat, but next time you probably won't be so lucky, so plan ahead and set some personal limits before you put too much at stake. At least it's not instant games, so you have more options to cultivate patience.

Whatever the case, I wish you good luck

[Ojima-ojo]

Congratulations at least you made a win in your first attempt at live bets, I advice you not to get carried away with the amount in winning but the fun that you enjoyed predicting the outcome of an event that plays out to be in your predictions.


Gambling is highly addictive and at that you should not allow your greed to build any form of over confidence in you to the point that you start betting on a regular basis, because failing into that state will be a big disaster for you as a newbie.

I started to question why this sport bet robot was acting that way after two of the three games had already been played, even if I eventually won the game. At that point, my cash out was #1,641.

It is simple, check the odds the both games you have won, the first is 1.8 odds while the second is 1.9 odds, and also check the odds of the game that is not yet played, the odds is around 2.05, what does this tell you?

It simply means that the game which is yet to be played, has a higher odds than the 2 other games that has played and you won, and this also means that, you have a lower or smaller chances of winning this particular game, as we all know that the higher the odds of a game, the slimmer the chances of winning that game.

So, the casino have made your cash out very small even after you have won two games out of three, because,  the game that is yet to play has a higher odds than the other two that have played, and there is a high chances that you might lose that game, so, if the casino gives you an attractive cashout amount, you might decide to take it and close the bet, and this they don't want you to do, so, either take what you are given, or wait for the remaining one game to play if you are confident enough that you would also win it.

At first, OP you should resize your pictures... They are too large and they are occupying more space.

At that point, my cash out was #1,641.

Is that Nigerian Naira currency? It's just that I just looked it up and I see it's the equivalent roughly to $1.2, and I imagine the Nigeria cost of living is lower but I don't imagine it's such a large amount to make a cashout.

Let's assume that this was the OP first attempt $1.2 is a small amount of money for him, cashing out that money will make him to gamble with it again. So IMO there is no need for the OP to Cash out that gamble.
However he's not yet luck, as the whole games are not yet ended, when the whole games ends that's when we can say op is lucky even if the money is too small for one to be happy for. Any time I deposits money to my bet account, I don't ever put in mind to cash out such small money, I always want it big but I don't chase lose, and that's the thing I like from me while gambling.

[Baofeng]

I think it's not about how big or small his bet is, it's about the experience for him betting on this kind of multi-parlay although I'm not that familiar with the sports. So yeah, it's a 7 multi leg bet.

But hopefully, the OP will not be hungry for more as this could be what we term as beginners luck. And he could go for more in his next bet and just go all in and continue and not cash out early.

[Russlenat]

You can't dictate how much they'll put as a cashout as it's not the main outcome of the game.

You bet to win or loss,, that cashout thing is just new but sometimes it makes us get greedy and miss the opportunity to enjoy a bigger winning. If I would choose, I'd rather not have that cashout option in my account if there's a way to block it because it causes some interruption on my focus.

So what happen to your bet, did you successfully cash out or just waited for all the events to be graded?? you win or lose?

[Beparanf]

It was my first attempt at playing a live game. I wagered #1000 on a winning range of #7,000 on three live games out of a total of seven odd. I started to question why this sport bet robot was acting that way after two of the three games had already been played, even if I eventually won the game. At that point, my cash out was #1,641.

Because your last ongoing bet is still value @1.5 odds which means your first 2 bets despite the high odds can be erased with just a single loss of the last bet. This is the risk which the casino is taking for the design of their cashout.

Cashout value is not proportional to amount of already win bets but rather it depends on the remaining odds on your parlay. Just wait until that last bet settled since your potential profit is too high compared when you cashout/lose the bets. You have a minimal lose here in exchange for x7 profit.

[cabron]

Is cashing out still your option when you are already winning and the last match is also about to win too. Unless you are in a hurry and want to take that 600+ that wouldn't make sense. But it's true also why the amount to cashout is not that high when it should have been at least bigger.

I wouldn't cash out a win or lose, its all gamble. My guess is that sportsbet is still hopeful you'd lose 

[freedomgo]

If I didn't convert what the cash out amount in the OP I wouldn't know that it's only $1.25...

Let's not focus on the amount, instead focus on the feature.

Well, cash out option has been there already, but it may differ from sportsbook to sportsbook, so you can't question the casino if the amount in the cash out is lower than you expected. What you have to do is just don't mind it or mind it... cash out if you are not sure with your bet, but if you are confident you'll win, you'll let the games to be over and see what happen. You know, the best feeling in gambling is when you are brave enough to accept whatever will happen and cash out option is not for the brave ones.

[EarnOnVictor]

At that point, my cash out was #1,641.

Is that Nigerian Naira currency? It's just that I just looked it up and I see it's the equivalent roughly to $1.2, and I imagine the Nigeria cost of living is lower but I don't imagine it's such a large amount to make a cashout.

Lol...It's Nigerian Naira (NGN) and the money is indeed small, it can't buy a standard meal even in the country, to say the least. Notwithstanding, it is not about the size of the money but the success thereof, that's what the OP wanted us to know, and perhaps the joy attached to it at the same time. I can feel the spirit.

Also, the success has to do with the money we wager, the OP's risk was small, which is why the gain was small too. I can see the odds, they are good enough, so he got what he risked. This is what pains people at times when the outcomes are all green and he might regret not wagering higher money in such a game. Maybe next time, he can try better with a higher risk for a higher gain.

[Jaycoinz]

Why will I want to bet a game with 1k just to later cash out 1,641, it's like saying I made a profit of 641. Who does that! I am that gambler that don't fancy cash out that much which why before I place my bet I have before then made up my mind that there's no room for cash out be it  live match prediction or prematch.

He is a scared and curious gambler, and that's the reason why he choose to cash out, just so that he doesn't get to lose the initial money he used and I feel it was curiosity that made him try out the option of game he played. I often do that with different game pattern but what I like most is draw because the option yield good returns with just a few games in selection.

The way he constructs his post and the amount involved on his bet surely he is pertaining to the inconsistency of the cashout amount offer compared to the odds that he already won while he is still waiting for the last leg of his parlay.

Even I is wondering why does the cashout is around 1.6 while it was supposed to be close on a 2 match with both 2.5odds parlay bets. Choosing cashout option is not a sign of fear but rather it’s the desire to secure profit.

[un_rank]

The Op did not say this was their first time gambling, just their first time staking on a live bet. They also did not say whether or not they took the cash-out option.

It must have been an experience the first time playing on a game that is already live. You have to do some more bits of analysis and most importantly you need to be watching the games live to have a feel of the momentum and which way it is looking to go. Jumping blind into live bets is very risky.

- Jay -

[Uhwuchukwu53]

Op I would not blame you as it's your first and may be you want to gather experience, but for me the return is too small to equate the time spend and the heart beat over the game.

But trying something and seeing a success it give more courage to do more better live bet result most time is more sure than gamble before the game kickstart.

I predict more accurate and win live game prediction than before match kick start.

[Dunamisx]

From the way I see it, this is a good move and decision made by OP, it's better that he won the match and earn little on it than to loose the entire game, if it were to be from the start when he was about to make the bet, the entire interest on the game is that 600 plus, I may advise him not to gamble it and risk loosing his money because what he stands to gain is lesser to the risk of what he's trying to loose, but as the game proceeds in such direction that he have to just maneuver himself just not to loose the bet, I will say such is a wise decision.

[Saint-loup]

You shouldn't bet too much on live bets, because odds are usually very bad and there is always a waiting period between the moment when you try to place your bet and the moment when it is accepted and if an event happens during this time period changing the odds in a bad way for the house your bet will be rejected. It gives a quite large edge to the bookmaker over the bettors and it's very difficult to make any profit in the long run because of that.
Besides that you should try to use the attribute height of bbc tag [img] in order to reduce the size of your pictures like [img height=300] for example.

[khaled0111]

that cashout thing is just new but sometimes it makes us get greedy and miss the opportunity to enjoy a bigger winning. If I would choose, I'd rather not have that cashout option in my account if there's a way to block it because it causes some interruption on my focus.

I believe it's the opposite. A greedy person will always chase bigger wins. Someone who is not greedy will play it safe and accept whatever the sportsbook will offer to him and cash out while he still have the chance to do so. A greedy person is the one who takes the risk not the opposite.
OP, the amount the sportsbook offered you is reasonable given that the odds of the last game has increased from ~2x to ~3x which means your chances of winning decreased.

[SmartGold01]

No it doesn't work that way, you have to check the winning probability which you picked 'over' 1.5 and yet your game is in between 'over' 0.5, meaning you need additional goals to be either 2.0 to win and the tendency to win under 85 minute is very poor.
So what made you think they will allow you to cash out 4k plus or 6k?
They won't all less you have 2 goals scored before 85 minutes for the first game, at then you can be fully sure that you have won the game. This same thing happened to me, a game that was to give 8k and out of 10 selected matches all already played, just waiting for game over, additional +5 minutes was given and the other team equalized the game to be draw. that was how I lost the game, although cashout option was given to me but I was too confident of myself thinking the game would go according to how I predicted.

That's not being greedy, you gamble and aim for a bigger win, that's our main goal. You can only call yourself greedy if you get tempted to do things that are our of your plan, like when you are betting in sports, you don't think of cashing out once you see you are already winning.

Thing is, casino wouldn't offer a cash out if they know you aren't winning, so what's the use of cashing out? I mean, we are here to take risk, just be a more risk taker, go home or go big so no regrets in the end.

[CryptSafe]

OP, I was thinking you could understand  the nature of game you entered. I will only assume you are a newbie or it is your first time gambling and seeing such features as well. What you were given was a cash out option for you to choose if in the end your game does not win, at least you could get a little cash out from your game. This feature is mostly good when you are having any doubt about the game to end in your favour. In most cases, gamblers opt for it and walk away with the little amount presented rather than losing all at once.
So the casino presented you the cash out features for you to choose either to take the cash or continue the game and accept the end result with fate.

On the context that you use the word greedy to the cash out feature, I think the better word is scared/feared on losing the current guaranteed profit offered by the casino. Being greedy for securing profit is not right because the user means he is already settled to the amount which the casino being offered on the cash out.

Your example on this post about greediness is correct too. I think you grasp perfectly how greedy really means. But your usage on the previous context is really not appropriate because cash out is intended to secure profit while there’s still risk involved on your current bet.

[bitbollo]

a way to maximize profit while playing live match is also ... play single matches! this allow win each winning selection!
Ok you will not earn a multiplier but you will sure to maximize any profit... just a single mistake can ruin a perfect payslip.
Meanwhile playing single match is always an advantage.
I tried to explain and summarize these suggestions here: https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=1234109.0

It's all about the winning, because as a gambler, you will never consider a cash out when you are in winning, this is because at that point you already come way too far assured with your bet and it outcomes and also having that assurance that you will win the game since you are already in winning is what make it difficult for you to Cash out at that point in time.
Most times, we can't tell to which extent the cash out features can help us to make good decisions or make tangible incomes in profits while we use them and what are the winning potentials of the game, but above all having in mind how risky and unpredictable football match could be, so we need to properly analys the feature and possible outcome before taking risks of looking away from your available cash out.

[livingfree]

Whatever the case, I wish you good luck

I definitely agree, setting some personal limits so that he won't go that far and will result into more intense type of gambling as he might not able to contain himself with it.

It's also fine if he's going to keep with small bets so that he won't be having any problems with money and it's a way for him to control himself. Once he starts to see that he's betting with big amounts, he has to be careful with that.

But as long as he's betting fine and small amounts, he's good and just have to enjoy.

If we mean business, we don't have to complicate things, make it simple and just focus on winning. Thing is, when you consider "cash out", you'll now think of this being part of your strategy, which means you'll include this on your analysis, and like I mentioned, that word regret will always be present as you might regret that you should not cash out, or cash out late or early... that kind of feeling is so frustrating and might affect your decision making, you know, decision making is very crucial in sports betting as we all like to win in the long run, this isn't just a game, some of us aim to be profitable and try to beat the system that most of us struggle to beat.

[Agbe]

It was my first attempt at playing a live game. I wagered #1000 on a winning range of #7,000 on three live games out of a total of seven odd. I started to question why this sport bet robot was acting that way after two of the three games had already been played, even if I eventually won the game. At that point, my cash out was #1,641.

Op please reduce the image size to

Code:

[img width=150] insert the image here[/img]

. The image is too big and it covered the whole screen. Op you odd is good but gambling is not something you wins always so when you playing you have to consider losing. And you are not the greedy type, the $641 profit from the $1000 deposit is good. Since you were asked to cash out.$1641 and as a beginner it was good for you to take that and replay again. But most greediness would not allow them to cash out and loss all. Op you should have budget to play gamble and don't use a random amount to play gamble. This $1000 you supposed serve you for about one week plus but you used it for once. Restructure your gambling habit.

[sunsilk]

Well, cash out option has been there already, but it may differ from sportsbook to sportsbook, so you can't question the casino if the amount in the cash out is lower than you expected. What you have to do is just don't mind it or mind it... cash out if you are not sure with your bet, but if you are confident you'll win, you'll let the games to be over and see what happen.

Also the win that OP has got, for a first timer it's already a big goal that he's made and we shouldn't cut the fun that makes them happy with what happened to him.

You know, the best feeling in gambling is when you are brave enough to accept whatever will happen and cash out option is not for the brave ones.

But cashing out when you're in profit is also an act of being wise and that's why if someone gets to cash out or withdraw their profits, that's the money that they deserve to have.

They can take as much as they can for cashing out when they're happy so that it won't be taken back from them.

Did you expect to see a cash out of N5000 or more? It doesn't matter whether two of your games had already played, there's still one pending game. At the time you took the screenshot the game was at 85 minute, so there's 5 minutes left for the game to come to an end. The chances of either side scoring one goal to give you the win is very slim that's why you had a N1,650 cash out option and the more the game go into the final minutes the more the cash out amount decreases. However, if a goal is later scored in the game, the complete amount will be credited to your account.

The available cashout is in proportion to how much odds have already entered I his favor just as we see that those two games that he already won are all small odds games and the pay out based on his staked amount is what is displaying as cashout, so is left for the ops to either take the cashout or risk to wait till the end of the match to be able to know wether he lose everything or all the total odds calculated.

Bit if I were the ops I will take the cashout and walk away Becassine looking at the ongoing game, it point to a directions that may possibly become a lose for the ops which is too risky for the ops as a newbies.

It was my first attempt at playing a live game. I wagered #1000 on a winning range of #7,000 on three live games out of a total of seven odd. I started to question why this sport bet robot was acting that way after two of the three games had already been played, even if I eventually won the game. At that point, my cash out was #1,641.

Did you expect to see a cash out of N5000 or more? It doesn't matter whether two of your games had already played, there's still one pending game. At the time you took the screenshot the game was at 85 minute, so there's 5 minutes left for the game to come to an end. The chances of either side scoring one goal to give you the win is very slim that's why you had a N1,650 cash out option and the more the game go into the final minutes the more the cash out amount decreases. However, if a goal is later scored in the game, the complete amount will be credited to your account.

You are very tight, I think op was actually expecting to see a way higher amount judging from the fact that he two games out of the three games he played or betted on had already won, it was just remaining one to go, but he forget that that one game that is remaining is running at a higher odds than the other two games that have already played combined, and as such, there is a very high chances that he may lose the game.

Good thing he mentioned that he is new to sports betting, so, we can't blame him much since this are some little stuff we usually don't know how they work or how they are calculated mostly when we are new to gambling, and this is not to say or assume that experienced gamblers know how this stuff is calculated, but I guess we all get used to it with deeper and deeper experience in gambling.

I do not know how this game later turned out for op, whether he lost it, or later won, or later cashed out, but all the same, I believe he has learnt something from this experience and going forward, it should be useful to him.

That's not being greedy, you gamble and aim for a bigger win, that's our main goal. You can only call yourself greedy if you get tempted to do things that are our of your plan, like when you are betting in sports, you don't think of cashing out once you see you are already winning.

I think you missed the point.
We are not talking about greed here in the bad sense of the word. Besides, what I said that if you cash out then you are not being greedy unlike when you refuse the cash out offer.
It's all about odds and the sportsbook doesn't offer to cash out because they know you will win but because the odds are not in their favor anymore and they want to minimize the potential losses.

[wiss19]

You don't cash out when you place a bet in sports betting if you don't have a very large amount at stake and have a fear that you might lose it. What's the fun in cashing out? Make sure that you always use amounts for your bets that you can afford to lose and then sit back and watch when you have placed your bets, that's the fun of sports betting.

I would never cash out even if it was my first experience and I didn't have a lot of knowledge, but again, sports betting isn't for people that lack knowledge about sports or a specific sport that they are interested to gamble in. You get into sports betting when you have confidence in your knowledge and know that you can dominate and won't chicken out.

First, there is nothing wrong in deciding to cash out your bet when ever you feel the game possibly may not end in your favor, most especially if it's a parlay - multi-bet, this is called risk management and it's completely advisable for gamblers to always consider it when ever the opportunity is made available to the player, it can be fun to engage in sports betting, but I definitely will tell you that it's no fun at all to constantly loss money due to inaccurate predictions, and more painful is when you actually had an opportunity to cash out the bet, but refused it and later end up losing that bet, that is, losing your initial bet, plus the money you would have cashed out if you had taken the offer, there is absolutely no shame in cashing out of a bet, like I said before, it's a simple risk management feature.

I do sports betting alot and several times in the times, I've had to cash out of my bet when the casino made the opportunity available to me, this is mostly when I am no longer comfortable or confident that the game will end in the way I predicted it, as we all know that in sports betting, there is little to no chance of accurate predictions, even the last seconds of the game can change or create a significant turn around in the game..

So, for a sports bettor, whenever he or she is no longer confident, it's advisable to use the cash out feature, there is absolutely no shame in it, even if at the end, the game end up as you predicted, be happy with what you have and try the next game.

[Slow death]

Making live sports bets is very complicated because the person analyzes the game before it starts, the person looks at all the positive and negative points of each team before the game starts. then the person starts watching the game, during the game the odds change a lot depending on each event that is happening on the field, at that moment when the person is watching the game they have much less time to analyze everything that is happening during the game , the person can see that team x is dominating the game, they are putting a lot of pressure on team z and then team x scores a goal and then the person decides to bet on team x to win, but that person will be betting with low odds

which is a serious mistake because in the long run this person will not make a profit by placing bets on games with very low odds, another serious error is the person placing live bets with low odds and also then cashing out and being left with little profit. In gambling, a person should look for a high profit that compensates for all the losses they have, this is not chasing losses. That's not what I'm talking about. for example sports betting. If a person is making multibet bets with odds above 3.00 when that person wins a lot of bets, then that person will be in profit, even when he has some losses, this is because in every bet that he hits with odds of 3.00, he would need to make a mistake 3 multibet bets to make a loss. If she gets 2 bets with odds of 3.00 right, then it would take 6 wrong bets for her to be at a loss. op, don't use that strategy you posted anymore

[danadc]

It's a great achievement, something we don't do very often, what I can see is that a casino uses a local bot because of the currency, but that was just luck, I haven't done something like that in my life, but I'm very happy that you won, that's very good, but it's trying your luck, I wouldn't do it because I could probably lose a lot of money, I'm not very fond of making or using bots, I think they could ban me or something, sports betting too There are many players and bettors who use bots but I do not trust that, because apart from feeling that cheating is something that is not safe.

And if they ban my account at the casino, it's not something I would like either, maybe it's a good thing that you brought it with us to the forum, but I couldn't do something like that

[Dunamisx]

We should first consider the use of bot as being supported by some of the gambling platforms or they work against it, this will be the first approach on what we can give in addressing the whole situation, using bot may be termed as cheat for some platforms while some may not really see it as something bad because they know that the bot couldn't be that effective I winning all games for you, but to stand on a safe side, we need to read the rules and regulations.

[bitterguy28]

and besides if you are banned or blocked in a casino? try looking on that as warning that you might consider leaving gambling or stay away because sometimes we are not looking in a brighter side.
there are so much happening that  in gambling that we should take a look sometimes and may bring better result  to us.

Are you cannot afford to lose about $1?, because when I checked 1000 Naira is not even up to $1, maybe the value is very large for you so choose to cash out.
And I don't see if the rest of the bet goes according to the prediction if it does, of course, you will feel regret but if something goes wrong you might be grateful but you should try to stick to the choice of waiting for all bets to finish and see how it works for you, I mean if you bet on multiple bets it means that you really want a lot of profit so you should just leave it until it's finished whatever the result will be as long as you use money that you can afford to lose, because the profit you get is quite small but maybe it is of quite high value for your area.

Bot in gambling? that should not be taking place if you wanted to have a better result either regulated or not , either allowed by the site or not ? we must not tolerate our way in using bot in gambling.
because a real gambler will not engage in something that is not allowed(in many casinos)

And if they ban my account at the casino, it's not something I would like either, maybe it's a good thing that you brought it with us to the forum, but I couldn't do something like that

Bot aren't effective therefore we shouldn't be using them in spite of them been allowed by casinos or not. Casino allowing them are doing that so you can keep losing to them and they'll be making money from your losses. Bot can't predict rightfully and you might be a better gamblers than the bots therefore you should be trusting your own judgements. I have used bot in gambling and also discovered they don't get prediction right most times and this could be why they're not yet taking over gambling as gamblers are still depending on their own decisions and not that of bots. Bots should mostly be needed when we want to make researches or learn about the games that we want to bet on and not giving us prediction that they will be wrong about because they don't have a way to know the outcome of the games.

[Die_empty]

The image is too big and it covered the whole screen. Op you odd is good but gambling is not something you wins always so when you playing you have to consider losing. And you are not the greedy type, the $641 profit from the $1000 deposit is good. Since you were asked to cash out.$1641 and as a beginner it was good for you to take that and replay again. But most greediness would not allow them to cash out and loss all. Op you should have budget to play gamble and don't use a random amount to play gamble. This $1000 you supposed serve you for about one week plus but you used it for once. Restructure your gambling habit.

The amount the OP won is in the Nigerian local currency the Naira and not in dollars. The win might look small but I assume that the OP is just excited that he won his first bet which is indeed worth celebrating. As a new gambler cashing out is always the right option because of anxiety. It possible that OP can afford to lose N1000 so I don't think he should consider adjusting his gambling budget. He is a new gamblers and would keep improving as he continue gambling.

You can't dictate how much they'll put as a cashout as it's not the main outcome of the game.

You bet to win or loss,, that cashout thing is just new but sometimes it makes us get greedy and miss the opportunity to enjoy a bigger winning. If I would choose, I'd rather not have that cashout option in my account if there's a way to block it because it causes some interruption on my focus.

So what happen to your bet, did you successfully cash out or just waited for all the events to be graded?? you win or lose?

Some gamblers are not high risk taker like you so the cashout option is an important option for them. Gambling is a game of luck, sometimes cashing is regretted because the game might end up playing as staked but in some cases reducing our expectations and cashing out might be the best decision because they game might cut. I  don't think there is any word called greed in gambling, we just have some risk takers.

[3kpk3]

Op should have clearly specified that the amount that he wagered was in the Nigerian Naira(Not USD) since many people including me automatically assumed that the currency was the USD.

I  don't think there is any word called greed in gambling, we just have some risk takers.

This is a silly statement. Most gamblers get greedy due to which they end up losing their money and regret it later on. This is how gambling sites thrive.

[ralle14]

I started to question why this sport bet robot was acting that way after two of the three games had already been played, even if I eventually won the game. At that point, my cash out was #1,641.

It's mostly due to your multi-bet's last leg. The live odds are higher than the pre-live from 2.07 to 3.45, and can likely fail when you start to look at the situation of the match(85 mins in with only 1 goal).

The cashout amount would've been higher if that match just started instead of nearing the end.

IMO, that's still a generous cashout amount, even though the bet is only a few minutes away from being graded as a loss.

[Stepstowealth]

You get into sports betting when you have confidence in your knowledge and know that you can dominate and won't chicken out.

You hit the nail on the head with your point and it really wouldn't be much fun to try sports betting without waiting for the results of the bet, all for reasons of playing it safe and accepting the cash out offer that may not be worth much.

Am sure live bet is more intensive as compared to a real match bet because you get to see the funds shifting hands on the spot with the registering of goals, changing of odds and cash out offer that makes it all the risk.

If he used $1000 dollar to gamble and was asked to cash out $1641 as for me it is nice cash out because you can use the $641 to gamble again and save your capital gambling money and if you have luck the $1641 can provide another cash flow again. So when are in this game we use all the sense organs. Malfunctioning of any part in the process of gambling can cause a great damage. That is where wisdom come to play in gambling. You have to be calculative game. Though gambling full with luck there is probability that if he leaves Cash out, he might win the complete money. But if the gamble cut or he lose out at the end. It would be painful.

Some platforms may consider it cheating because the decisions are not made by a human player. Others may accept it, as long as it does not jeopardize the game's integrity. For example, a platform may allow a bot to make simple decisions, such as whether to fold or call, but not sophisticated ones that require human intelligence. So it all relies on the platform and its policies.

Well, the truth is I would withdraw much more, I think I would leave about 100usd to continue playing because he is playing with all the money he got from his good luck and that is something that does not fit me, it is much better to play later, for me 641usd is worthy to go out and enjoy it, after that, if the person wants, they can start from scratch, but that is lucky and you don't have to waste it, so things in casinos one must be very intelligent, not start inventing things Let them go further, the best I see is that, otherwise they can place their bets as they go and that's it, but I still recommend enjoying the money that is won.

For that it depends on the way the person thinks, if they are a person who can and wants to continue trying harder because that already depends on the person, there is no type of problem.

Yeah it is the system that will decide what is good and what is bad as long as it is written in their Terms and Agreement and this is why important that we will dig deep to all what is written to the terms and better to have a copy yourself so any changes along the way will be in your knowledge  since there are some casino that has this attitude that changing rules favoring them specially when encountered big winning from the players so better be aware of those abuse.
but in total ? players/gamblers who are mostly cheating the site and abusers.

Yeah, still a win for the OP although gamblers really like to get that max amount of win. But sometimes cash out make sense if you already have some money on your multi-bet. Just don't regret your decision.

Might not be a good strategy for others and it just shows that gamblers are also very different in terms of their gambling style and strategy.

Others might go all in, but there are also some conservative gamblers within us.

sports betting is a combined place for gambler/sportsminded because in this area they
are progressing their passion in sports and also trying their luck and risking their money.

to be a gambler you must be knowledgeable and same as to become a gambler
this must be in everyone's mind here.

Am sure live bet is more intensive as compared to a real match bet because you get to see the funds shifting hands on the spot with the registering of goals, changing of odds and cash out offer that makes it all the risk.

Live betting is really one that I love much is sports gambling and for me this is more
reliable and not that can be manipulated because I can watch the game in live as well.

Seeing how the bet is made, it is clear that he is getting profit because the match he is betting on really has big chance of winning overall and that is why it shows cashout with certain amount of profit that can be taken.
But in my opinion that is too small because what is bet will only give total profit of around $7 with bet amount of around $1, this will never be profitable but the mindset of each gambler in betting will be different.

Multi betting will always provide big profits if achieve success with all the matches bet on and win, but the worry is that win early and that means bad things could happen tomorrow.
Hahaha this is ridiculous and from what happened I concluded that it was good bet but unfortunately only with fairly small bet amount, if you could bet up to 20,000 Naira or more then the profit could be very satisfying.

If the platform allows bots or don't have any ban against it, and most importantly that it is your money you want to stake, I don't see why it should be considered cheating.

Taking the cashout offer on any bet should really be when one ain't sure of what they predicted, but we ain't always sure and many times people turn out millionaires for waiting till the results play out.
 Live bet from many experience assures one gets instant results on their bets and unless the loss one has encountered during betting is much for a day, then cashout on maybe four or five more bets should not be a greedy move.

[ralle14]

Just don't regret your decision.

That's one of the many downsides of cashing out your bets too frequently, as i've been there at one point.
 

Might not be a good strategy for others and it just shows that gamblers are also very different in terms of their gambling style and strategy.

The cashout feature is always discouraged for a good reason like potentially missing out on a late-game winner when things could still change at the final moment.

Others might go all in, but there are also some conservative gamblers within us.

I can relate to that, as I used to be one of those gamblers who prefer to prolong their bankroll and avoid losses when possible.

Means there are some sites that allows players to use bot? well that is how important to check their terms each time because if not then you will be facing issues
once you need to withdraw, but one thing that  keeps me thinking is why Casino allows us to do everything as long as we are depositing
and the issues and violations will only occur once you need to take out the money?
look how tricky and selfish is that, why not confront gamblers earlier than to wait for them upon withdrawal because for me this is something that fishy .

[Poker Player]

Seeing that the OP has been on the forum but hasn't come back through the thread to comment on any of the issues we have raised, I'd bet he's already gone back to play what he won and lost it. Being the first time and having won a total of $1.2, that would be most likely.

[freedomgo]

Seeing that the OP has been on the forum but hasn't come back through the thread to comment on any of the issues we have raised, I'd bet he's already gone back to play what he won and lost it.

OP had already received a lot of comments regarding his post and had probably understood that there's nothing wrong with the amount the site has offered to him. The amount is small but probably still relevant to him, and I think it's not the amount (whether small or big) we are talking here but it's our expectation regarding as to how much could a sportsbook give us if we cash out.

Being the first time and having won a total of $1.2, that would be most likely.

And even thought of cash out... I wouldn't if it's in my case, but it's him and that amount is significant for him.

 this is what other casino did they are always made some reasons why some other gamblers who commit some mistakes can't withdraw Their winning money. And fore those gamblers who are careless enough to do such thing then they can't fight back to casino cause the gambler commit a mistakes then thier money is in the casino hands. And this is common issues nowadays and to prevent this things happen then the gambler it self need to review or read the terms of conditions by the casino so that there's no chance or way that the casino will hold the withdrawal.

Some platforms may consider it cheating because the decisions are not made by a human player. Others may accept it, as long as it does not jeopardize the game's integrity. For example, a platform may allow a bot to make simple decisions, such as whether to fold or call, but not sophisticated ones that require human intelligence. So it all relies on the platform and its policies.

Means there are some sites that allows players to use bot? well that is how important to check their terms each time because if not then you will be facing issues
once you need to withdraw, but one thing that  keeps me thinking is why Casino allows us to do everything as long as we are depositing
and the issues and violations will only occur once you need to take out the money?
look how tricky and selfish is that, why not confront gamblers earlier than to wait for them upon withdrawal because for me this is something that fishy .

 this is what other casino did they are always made some reasons why some other gamblers who commit some mistakes can't withdraw Their winning money. And fore those gamblers who are careless enough to do such thing then they can't fight back to casino cause the gambler commit a mistakes then thier money is in the casino hands. And this is common issues nowadays and to prevent this things happen then the gambler it self need to review or read the terms of conditions by the casino so that there's no chance or way that the casino will hold the withdrawal.

Of course we cannot fight the casino except we have the financial background as backup to take them on a law suit if they were wrong,  but on the other aspect, the gamblers also have a lot to have contributed to the way they got served by some of these gambling platforms, we cannot violate them and expect to go scot-free, they have their rules and they have already set a system that guides over such.

Seeing that the OP has been on the forum but hasn't come back through the thread to comment on any of the issues we have raised, I'd bet he's already gone back to play what he won and lost it. Being the first time and having won a total of $1.2, that would be most likely.

Lol! You're probably right. He is still active in the forum, but didn't post again in this thread yet. It's pretty evident that is an amateur punter who was simply questioning the mechanics of cashout in sportsbetting.

Personally, I rarely cashout since I like to let my money ride for the entire bet(Single and Parlay) since I prefer yolo(all-in) gambling.

His expectations for the casino giving a cashout offer equivalent to the total odds already settled on his bet probably makes him rant on the casino cashout system since newbie will always think that they already have that profit amount if they place a single so it should be the same scenario on parlay bets.

What trivial on this thread is the amount involved just like what PokerPlayer emphasized. This kind of parlay bet usually the type that you will let it finish since the amount at stake is small regardless if win or loss.

[redsun114]

that cashout thing is just new but sometimes it makes us get greedy and miss the opportunity to enjoy a bigger winning. If I would choose, I'd rather not have that cashout option in my account if there's a way to block it because it causes some interruption on my focus.

I believe it's the opposite. A greedy person will always chase bigger wins. Someone who is not greedy will play it safe and accept whatever the sportsbook will offer to him and cash out while he still have the chance to do so. A greedy person is the one who takes the risk not the opposite.
OP, the amount the sportsbook offered you is reasonable given that the odds of the last game has increased from ~2x to ~3x which means your chances of winning decreased.

This! But, both greedy and non-greedy person, as long as both are playing the game, are both taking a risk, though the level of their risk are not the same. In regards to the game of the OP, yes, that's how a sports betting works, or even other gambling games. This is where we can attain more thrill and more profits, in case we got lucky.

It may only be unpleasant for some once they lose because they already saw the money building, only to find out that it will crash later on and they will never get even a single piece of it. It's still nice on how the OP shared his experience. He can surely learn from it and others too who will try to play the same game.

[seoincorporation]

since the games that already won have the odds of x1.8 and x1.9 i feel the cashout should be bigger, something like x2.5, but since is the cashout option it makes sense that it becomes a lower value. I mean at least you have the option to cancel the bet and walk away with a profit.

Maybe other casinos offer bigger amounts for early cashouts you should try.

correct , we have been waiting for His update and answers to our posts but did not comply means either he losses that amount or this is just a made up story to earn merits(common thing that we find in topic starter recently)
and actually 1.2 dollars give him hard time to earn but that easy to lose  lol.

Hahaha, there is also possibility that he is of gamblers who only liked playing casino games for long time, so he created this thread to get more information regarding sports betting and the mechanics of sports betting.
Agree with you because when gambler understands sports betting and has really been familiar with all the mechanisms of gambling in any type for long time then he definitely has lot of experience and knowledge that he really understands.

Wait, if you place bets like that, will each bet be large enough amount?
I very rarely bet all-in because it would be very disappointing if I failed, but under certain conditions I can do it occasionally and when I feel there is decent profit then cashout is my main choice.
This minimizes losses and also takes advantage of opportunities that present themselves to be able to save profits.

The site might have their own rate when it comes to cashing out and the amount is reasonable.
I wonder if OP is able to get that profit early or choses to stay and continue with the bet. Live betting might be different on every site, and that's why you have to understand the terms of every site so you can know where to gamble more and what site offers the best rate, for me this is already ok.

You don't only consider the bets that have already won as part of the parlay. Try to consider also the active bets, bets that are not yet graded and if the system sees it that its chance is lower, than they will put a cash out that is not based on our expectation. There's nothing wrong with the cash out amount, if OP complain, he can just wait until the game is over and see if he wins, but that cash out amount IMO is just reasonable.

That can be confirm if OP have the same bet on the other sportsbook.

I would give him credit still even if he went back and risk the whole balance again, its rare this days to see newbies risking $1.2 on a bet, they always go big, the few ones I knew are desperate, if he lost this amount it's not going to change him, compared to someone who risks $100 thats meant for food restocking on gambling and they starve for a month.

At least he will feel what it's like to win and to lose, he can easily learn some lessons from here compared to someone who could end up chasing what he lost, because the amount is too high and can't move on from it.

Its becoming very hard and hard for beginners to risk very small money on gambling, they always feel special when they want to start, they have no questions or curiosity why many people aren't making it with gambling.

Go to a sports book and make a parlay of x1.8 and x1.9, i just tried it and got the odds of x3.45... so offering a cash out of x1.6 while he could get x3.45 with those 2 games is weird. But as you mention, there are some other considerations involved, x1.6 doesn't feel fair but he has the option to cash out and that's a nice feature. And doesn't matter the amount they offer, it's profit.

The Op did not say this was their first time gambling, just their first time staking on a live bet. They also did not say whether or not they took the cash-out option.

It must have been an experience the first time playing on a game that is already live. You have to do some more bits of analysis and most importantly you need to be watching the games live to have a feel of the momentum and which way it is looking to go. Jumping blind into live bets is very risky.

I don't think that it makes any sense to bet on live when you are not following the match very well. It is more than risky to bet on a live match you are not following. Live betting brings out the best vibes in watching matches. It makes every moment of the match to count. I have never bet live, but if I should do, I should not be in a haste to cash out. Live bet is just like short term gambling, why make it shorter by cashing out.
Op might never come back to the thread, this is not the first time I have seen people make this kind of posts and not return to it. This happen especially to newbies, I don't know whether they don't know where to return or losses interest in the middle of the discussion.

We should first consider the use of bot as being supported by some of the gambling platforms or they work against it, this will be the first approach on what we can give in addressing the whole situation, using bot may be termed as cheat for some platforms while some may not really see it as something bad because they know that the bot couldn't be that effective I winning all games for you, but to stand on a safe side, we need to read the rules and regulations.

The rules and regulations of each platform will most likely influence how they see the application of bots. Some platforms may consider it cheating because the decisions are not made by a human player. Others may accept it, as long as it does not jeopardize the game's integrity.

Some gamblers will only be seeing otherwise and keep talking what they don't realized they are the cause to what they are seeing with the use of a particular gambling platform, we need to go by their rules and this should be the first thing we must put into consideration because if such is not in place, i doubt our stay with the use of the platform to enjoy gambling, i want to believe that it will also be a lazy gambler or an inexperience one that will be busy looking around for gambling bot, especially when such gambler wants to make money from gambling.

Not all newbies know how to reply thread that they have created. When I was newbie I also faced this challenge until I was taught by a friend. Even to lock a thread was a problem for me until it was livesmayfamilis that taught me how to do it with screenshots of how to do it. So the way I look at it the Op might have facing that challenge but not sure because when I checked the Op profile, he was active on the 3rd of April. Yah those who are amateur in gambling are always afraid to loss all their money in the bet so if the cash out button appears on the screen they didn't waste time to cash it out. But the legend gamblers always have the confidence that they will win the game and the bet will enter.

Well, I am highly experienced in live betting, and what I do have to tell you is that, you never will understand how live bets actually works until you try live bets yourself.

First thing I have to tell you is that, 99 percent of gamblers who bet on sports live games do so, not because they want to enjoy the match the more, or to cherish every moment of the remaining part of that match as you said, but they bet solely to make quick profit, live bets is like what we call scalp trading in crypto currency trading, it's risky, but those who engage in it are usually not doing it to have fun, but are plainly after profit, this is why most live bettors will stay online to monitor how the game is going, and wouldn't hesitate to use the cash out function whenever the casino makes it available to them, and with a very juicy offer, one they may likely regret refusing to take if eventually, that bet later end up in a loss, and this is mostly with multi-bet, or parlays as we generally refer to it as.

And speaking on op returning back here, understand that newbies arent used to this forum like we are, most of them usually just want to find out the solution to their problem and they are off, like when I first joined this forum, I registered, made a few first posts, and went offline for more than four moment for coming back here, I become constantly active after I've learnt more about the forum, and also had some crypto currencies I was already following here, in those days when ICOs and airdrops were really a thing.

He did not get a warm welcome here after showing off his $1 bet
I know that Nigeria isn't the richest country in the world, but come on, it's like a child putting a candy bar on the line.

I'm not saying we all have to bet $1k+ for people to notice, but there are some limits to how low you can get. I could make 10 bets with 5 cents each and then pick the ones that I win and start a thread, but what would be the point of that?
