I personally always make some bets in the sportsbook until the end but when I look at the odds and we have won in those bets and see the condition of the one we support in this case is a little threatened then I might as well do a Cash Out but this is only a small part of what I do because I always bet until the end even though sometimes there are some matches that are really unexpected.
Yes, i like your point. there is nothing easy to bet on a sportsbook, everything returns to the choice of bets and what we believed before. with all considerations and according to what we understand, basically it all depends again on the situation at that time.
in certain cases, we will look at the conditions and opportunities that we have. if what we support is not what we have predicted before, especially in this case it is a bit threatened. then, the option of doing Cash Out is a better choice. however, basically we rarely exercise this option and it depends again on what we predicted before.
I'm sure, most gamblers who like sportsbook betting have experienced many cases similar to what Op described in the thread above. so the problem is not collecting the cash out or waiting for the full cash, but how confident are we in every available opportunity.
