Topic: Tension that comes on the last game/s. - page 18. (Read 3595 times)

Congratulations on your win and well done for your bravery on not cashing out despite the pressures that comes with last games in a running slip. To be honest, I don't think I would've rejected cashing out when I'm not sure if the result of the last game in the slip and that's because sometime ago, someone was close to winning over $20k and had to lose because of the last game in his slip. It was after then that I stopped waiting for last games in a long single slip to play before I cash out. So what I do is when I want to stake my bet, I stake the same amount on two slips of the same game so that I can cash out one when necessary and leave the other one till the last game in the slip is played.

Sure do.
I have also been in this position before where I made a long parlay, in my case I have 2 more remaining matches that will happen the next day. The itch to cash out won't let me sleep and to avoid having any nightmares, I cashed it out and didn't look back to what happened to those remaining games.

There are two sides that we must pick. The first side is if we are satisfied with the multiplier that we can receive if we cash out. The other side is if we are just having fun and we want to see the ending of our bet without any regrets later on. I am sure if we do the latter there will be some regrets and maybe some sleepless nights but it's tolerable considering we made up my mind to finish the parlay.

I do not like cash out. I do not check bet slip until the matches are over. I prefer to wait until the last match has been played before checking to slip.

If a good P2P exchange rate is used which is around $1597 right now, that would be about $65.42 naira. He used 12000 naira to stake the bet. If you deduct that from the amount won, only $57.91 will remain. In my country which the OP comes from, we can say it is a big amount of money, but not that too big in a way we can call it big.

It is actually difficult during the last game, just like the parable that says " the last day of a man is always dangerous" lolz. It is also applicable to gambling when all other games in your ticket has played but the last one Start playing against your prediction, it's always hard to cope with. Sometimes cashing out will be the next option but I see that you left it till it all played that is a nice one since you have won, but that was a big risk for you though, had it been the last game cut the ticked you would have regret why you didn't crashed out. But in all congratulations to your win.

Whether you gamble for fun or not, the joy of gambling is winning and I know the tension that comes when you are about winning a bet and it's remaining just the last event in your ticket, like you will be monitoring the event from beginning to the end and that is how your heart will be beating very serious especially when it involves a huge winning. But I don't like the idea of monitoring the event I've accumulated what I mostly do is that I will check the time the last event will end then after which I will check the whole events at once except if I have the feeling of cashing out on events that has already played accordingly.

There's one thing I believe in gambling and that is luck, if you will win a bet you gonna win whether you cash out or not because I have placed bets that I was scared of the whole events playing accordingly and after I did a cash out, all the events still played according to predictions. Before the features of cash out was introduced in betting more especially in sports, people were still winning without cash outs so gambling is just luck as I said earlier but if you wish to be checking up on the events as they're playing one after another then I suggest betting same ticket twice such that one of the ticket will be for cash out while the other would be allowed to run through the last event on the ticket.

 No lies, with such an amount used to stake, I'd definitely be tensed. Like, what the hell!! It's normal to feel this anxiousness when your game is going on and if it were possible to join those playing on the field so you can get your desired result, you'd do it. I'm glad that there's audacious gamblers out there but at the same time, it's important to use your head and do it responsibly.
 

I was in a similar situation on Sportsbet a couple of days ago. Total potential winnings was about $80 and a cashout of $16 was offered with 2 games to play (only 4 games were on the slip). I refused to cashout and won the entire pot.

It was an easy decision cause the amounts involved was not very much and the cashout was only a little bit over the amount staked, so I would not have been bothered if I had lost everything

Please be adding the currency symbol. Let's know the difference before I start thinking that you saw a cashout of $29k and refused to cash out when the figure is in your local currency. 
 
Because of the fear of cashing out a running game, most times I prefer not to be following my games up again until the last game on the ticket has completely finished. That's when I can login and check how the game played. That's if I don't follow the matchup on live score, because the temptation of seeing a higher amount available in cashout and not being too sure of what the outcome of the next game will be is always very high.

You won the bet and if I'm right, the last game won convincingly and that made me a little confused regarding the caption. Personally, last games have always been my nightmare; I have had my bets spoilt by the last game more than anything else and I wonder if there is any gambler that have not had their fair share of this issue of last game. It usually comes with high tension which is worst if you are watching the match or streaming it live.

If I win this your amount now, this weekend is gamed. Well congratulations on winning 8+ odds.

The risk in gambling involves daring. It could be some touch of greeds like yours here having the chances to take some amount of profits while the game is still ongoing but yet you did not because your aim is to take total cash out of the wager.

The fun can actually come either when you looses of wins but it feels much better when we wins. Be sure that as a game of fun, it is not designed for one sided to always win else it becomes weird like there is a cheat involved. That is why I say somedays the casino will always publish easy winning games in some period of times to satisfy the players.

Congratulations as you met your lucky winning day. I actually believed that you resisted to cash out on a half because you definitely staked amount of money being affordable for you to loose but though you would be emotionally troubled within the period of the game was lost because you had all chances to make some cash out.

Wow...it is a big amount of money in my country. You won $83 approximately because you stickied to your instinct of not cashing out $18 approximately which shows that you took the risk of being patient with your luck to play out in full. I like your courage because assuming that last game cut your slip, it would have been the opposite.

However, since it is an amount that you can afford to lose that shouldn't be a problem assuming your last game cut your slip. You can enjoy your weekend with some part of your wins and don't forget to gamble responsible.

Congratulations.

I shared my thoughts on this thread yesterday. And I said I have another bet is on, and I will also share it if I won the bet. Though there was a cashout of 29k on the ticket yesterday but I didn't cash it out, and I was tempted to cashout the game.
Gamble is really fun when you win no matter whether you are gambling for fun or not. There is this kind of tension that always comes when the last game is on and they are not playing according to how you predicted them. Share your thoughts.
Just want to say lucky me.
