I'm not writing this to ask the opinion really of whether you gamblers think it's something you should do or not necessarily, but more so the rules and the effects of it.
Let's say your team is up a point or two with plenty of time left and the odds heavily or just mostly favor that team winning. Now let's say their best player gets hurt, which greatly changes the odds of the outcome. Do casinos adjust the cash out amount for events like this right away, or is it something set in stone? I'm assuming they would adjust mid game, but I simply don't know and I'm curious if it varies from casino to casino.
Obviously in a scenario like this cashing out can make sense then since you don't feel as confident, nor would anyone, if you lose your best player.
First of all, you should understand that cashing out your betting on sports is not something or an option that is always available to gamblers, the casinos (respectively speaking) are at liberty of making this option appear and disappear for the gambler at any time they sole please, this i am saying is from my own pure experiences.
Many a time, I've checked my betting tickets and saw the option to cash out, i ignored it and closed the site, when I returned to check the ticket again maybe a few minutes later, I discover that the cash out option is no longer available.
So, in cases where the casino gave you a cash out option before a major incident occurred in the middle of the match, if you do not hurry to accept the cash out offer immediately, you might return the next minutes and discover that the option has been taken back by the casino, I don't think they can reduce the cash out amount, but they usually will simply withdraw it.
