There was this game I played the stake amount was 500 and the total amount to be won was 85k I decided to cash out when it was remaining 3 game and this 3 game has lower odd so I was thinking the cash out amount would be around 50k but what I was offered was 8k just imagine the big difference I decided to wait till the game ends and later won the bet at full time so ever since then I prefer waiting till the game end unless the cash out amount is big that I will do so.
Surely it depends on individual and the type of cashout option given to them, like your example a game of potential wining of 85k was reduced to 8k when you want to cashout with 3 games left to play, but do you know that your chances of cashout would have gotten more options of cashout if you have only 1 game left to play. I think you are laying emphasis base on your own situation, and you are also saying this because your game turns out to play Afterall. but had it been those 3 games cut and you didn't cashout the 8k you will forever regret why not taking 8k for a stake of 500. For me any amount you staked and made alot of profit if cashout option is out, it should be ripped off because you could regret as soon as possible if it didn't turns out to be as you planed.
I'm often faced with this kind of situation in trading, but not in my gambling because I do not even play in such a way that will put me under this kind of pressure. I just do not look at my gambling ticket/platform until my sports betting bets are fully played and I win or lose. This could be tempting at times, but if you are a good gambler with a very proper money and risk management plan along with it, it will not be an issue with you because all of your winnings and account management will be above average, and in such a situation like this, you might not even be bothered as they will be on average too because there are times you will end it out of panic but the match will eventually end against you, and there are times you will quit it early and the match will eventually end in your favour if you had waited.
Regardless, the gambler should know the rules of management in gambling, and this entails the management of one's money and self (psychology) as well. This goes a long way in linking with the right contentment. You cannot have it all at all times, and if you miss big today and gain little, you could still be justified because of the contentment in it. What if you never take the little one but later lose everything? That would be disastrous to say the truth. However, your thought about teh size of teh winning is good, the money has to be encouraging before you close it, that's the way I do as well. If I wanted to win $1,000 and I am seeing the guaranteed amount to be $200, I do not just waste my time. But in the situation where I now see the guaranteed amount to be $850 or even a bit lower, why not call it quit? That's bravery to me no matter what anyone may say.
