Topic: CASHOUT OR NOT???? - page 7. (Read 793 times)

It depends on how much you need the money or how much you value the bet. If I have the same parlay, I would press the cashout button on that ticket when the current payout is already worth close to $500 and it's big enough for most gamblers to be happy. In my view, it's not worth continuing the parlay because it only comes down to the last two legs and only requires one outcome to ruin everything. It might suck when they both hit, but i'd rather play it safe, even if I have to take the hit.

I really don't want to be in your shoe Op   or if I were in your shoe maybe I would have taken it, the cash out , so that I can at least avoid the pressure you are mostly into now.

Anyway, I like the cash out option because it allows you to run away with some and leaving some for another day but if you still get to another lucky day, you will still run off to leave some money behind you. It is actually up to you.

Regards to your potential, you already have a huge cash out from your potential with two games remaining. Logically, the reason I think the cash out is huge is probably that the game will favour you and they are trying to tempt you to forfeit some, but it is still under risk, anything is possible with gambling. You might still lose it.

But what I advise people who are in such dilemma is that you can cash out and use a huge bankroll to restake the remaining games on the option you want which maybe be same option you staked it before. Like you can restake it with 100,000 naira from your cash out of 300+ naira, with that you would have 200+ naira as profit if the restake didn't go your way but if it does then you have more potential.

I wish that you take a decision that will favour you but remember, I think they say a bed at hand is worth more than million in the bush  


Sometimes this is one idea that makes us to go down even as when it is a very little thing that we could have avoided. I get your point though, to prove that you are actually master of your game or your predictions so that you will defeat fear but at other times it also pulls a gambler down.

Looking at the amount presented for cashout, that's almost half of the total amount to be won,  and it's really impressive to know that there are only two games remaining. I would advise you take the cash out your seeing, don't be too greedy, that cashout is more than the amount you've staked, why not collect it, because this is gambling, hence you become greedy you will end up losing out. So I advised you collect the cash out. Personally I've had such experience some time ago, I had to leave it for the entire game to play, even after I was shown good amount of cash out, I ended up regretting not cashing out because the last games went against my predictions.

I personally do a cashout if my winnings is more than the gambling funds or capital I have deposited on my account. For example if I deposited $100 and I won another $100 then I would be happy to reap that extra money. As I can't afford to lose more than my limits I won't push hard. If I win a jackpot, there is no question to that of course money is money. 😅

Just do what your instincts says, here we can see that you want to just take the profits you made and still it's a win for you so be happy with what you made and just enjoy watching the remaining matches as a fan, not a bettor. Or that's what my choice will be if I were put in this position.

I will also advise him to decide this way, it's hard to decide if this is your first time in this position, I experienced this before and I had a good sleep after I cashed out even if I lost the chance to make a big paycheck, but if you go for it and lose everything you will have a sleepless night so its not a choice of the amount of money rather but how are you going to take it and how are you going to sleep with your decisions.

You have to be calm when faced with this situation the greediness within you is your worst enemy, whatever you decide and the outcome let us know so we can also learn from your experience, it's good that you posted it here.

If one of those games involved teams like Barcelona vs Real Madrid. Then I sure wouldn't have opened this thread, I would have taken the cashout without a single hesitation.

I had the same experience recently and that was the first time I had looked at a ticket that hasn’t ended, most of the times I usually bet with a little amount so I don’t have to keep checking to see if it’s time for me to cash out or not.

And this particular one I did, made me restless cause the amount that was available for me to cash out was significant and if I should wait for the last four games I’ll realize an even greater win just like in your case but the only difference between us was I did cash out what was available at that moment but in the end everything entered. But since you’ve decided to stick with the game I do wish you luck.

Thanks for the tip, it just helped reduce the tension and gives me more assurance to follow my heart, which is to let the games play through.

What the user wants is to win as well as every other gambler but, can’t really decide on what is acceptable with a huge probability situation in the way. I suppose that’s the purpose of this thread and looking at how close it is to strike gold or should I say, Bitcoin.

If we look at the thread you provided in that adhoc link, I think the options and potentials are entirely different with the one on OP. I mean, the games in the link is the damned El-Classico, Barcelona vs Real Madrid. There is a lot of rivalry in that game. We can’t say the same for the games OP has placed bet on.

Also, the market chosen is one that allows for just anything except a draw which is very plausible in these games.

Since I'm a brave gambler, I never did cash out or withdraw my bet, I want to see whether my prediction is correct or not. Of course different people have a different character and decision, so it's really weird if you seek a financial advice or something like that to the community.

You will regret if you receive the community suggestion.

I have been in that situation MANY times before and your scenario feels like I am having déjà vu. I always chicken out early and I do not regret it, because 9 out of 10 times I lose those last bets.

I think you should consider how much longer you will gamble with the amount you can win now.... and not what you can win, if you do not cash out now.   How much money do you have left to gamble with... will this give you more chances to win more?

since you are winning i think you can just wait til it's over and take the N697,714 instead. cashout option is good if you are losing and to prevent from losing more, the cashout option free to hit. is the game still on?

but it's still an option for you, it all depends on you. after all, you are already winning, 362,000 is still a win. 458USD afaik is already a big amount in Nigeria but double that amount is bigger.

I would personally cash out. Getting the full NGN 698K is great but you already have a sure profit right in front of you. It's better losing less than the half than not getting all of it so I would save myself from the stress and take the sure NGN 362K. I'm just being practical here but it's still up to you.

I have been in this kind of situation before when I was contemplating either to cash out or to leave it and then it was nearing time for the next event to start so I tried cashing out but network was very bad I almost cried as the next event started and I couldn't cash out but at the end of the match the game played and I thanked the network for not allowing me to cash out the game earlier, the option I used even played before the halftime and I was so happy I didn't cash it out.

Well in your situation, I will say you should follow your heart as if you lose the bet if it would not affect you negatively considering the fact that the cash out is even huge so it's left for you to decide as whether to cash out or not. This is the reason why I play a ticket twice so that I can be able to cash out one of the tickets and leave the other to run till the end.

Even with two matches left, it will be a disaster because it may be unexpected that one of these matches loses and you will lose the profit, so if this is a large amount of money then you hesitate to continue this bet it is better to cash out even if it is after the profit that should be.

I very rarely cash out midway because I know what is at stake a little but if you need money and don't want to lose it all then it's better to cash out than you hesitate to make this decision, unless you are ready to lose anything then there is no need to cash out wait until the remaining two matches are completed, if you are lucky you will get a decent win.

Your topic brings to mind this one already discussed some time ago when the OP has a similar question. You can read about it - Greed or risk. You already know what you want, you can see it through to the end or you can cash out and be happy. If you allow the game to finish playing and end up losing it you may regret it but if you cash out, irrespective of the outcome, you will have no deep regret because you came out with something. Whatever choice you make, please return to give us an update on what outcome was. I'll be looking out for it.

If you believe you can win the bet and collect the whole prize, why are you in doubt about cashing out earlier? Are you fearful of losing money? Can't you afford losing the money you wagered? I believe that if you are insecure about this you should cashout. To maintain a bet till the end demands confidence and rationality from a gambler. When they are lacking, the consequences can be worse if something goes wrong, on the opposite of what was firstly expected. However, only you can decide what to do, because people here don't know your personality, therefore they don't know what outcomes will be best and worst for you.

Think about it, what is preferable: to lose all the money knowing you could have earned half prize or to win half prize knowing you could have won the whole prize? These are the two worst possibilities that can happen.

I for shorts prefer not to watch the games I bet on if I could. It creates a lot of adrenaline rush within the individual gambler and that would be some disturbing position to be in.

It’s not abnormal that the options for a cash out is always way less or at least half of the potential win but, you really have to understand two things here.

One, cashing out too early means, you’re still in profit and that’ll be at least 17X of your stake.
Having yo wait and you eventually win, you still profit.
Which ever one that happens, you get to be contented and focus on what is at hand than what is expected in potent.

Meanwhile, it takes just one game to void a prediction and leaves you with nothing. I’m sure you’re aware of that.

I took a quick look at your bet and you’ve chosen games from Bundesliga and Serie A in the 12 market options.
I must say, I don’t see how an X would be coming out of those two bets. If I were you, I’ll let it run. It’s something that could easily play out in your favour.
That’s my take but, it’s up to you.

I only use little amount to gamble and I do not cash out. With the matches that I am seeing, if I am the one, I am not going to cash out. Sometimes, it will only just be a single match which may be the last match that will make someone lose. I did it sometimes ago, I won all the matches but remaining one match with the lowest odd of 1.05 and I lost it. If you are winning already, you can cash out, but if you can afford to lose the money, why cashing out.
