Trusting our instincts alone is not always good because when we say instinct, it may be lacking of proper analysis. So, what you did there is only right and shouldn't be guilty of, and I think in modes like this in sports betting, the cash-out options are not always there showing, so it's a kind of privilege already for us to make use of them. I saw lots of sports bettor before who regretted badly that they didn't use the cash-out option and lost their nice winning streaks.
Your advice of sticking to our instinct is still right but is only applicable to the gambling games that works randomly. I think this is the same as sticking to one side only which is a must, so that no regrets are going to be felt, in case the results go south.

The lesson you should tell others shouldn't be about your instinct, because you will not going to be right always, the only thing that I could call a lesson here is to learn how to take small risks in gambling, if all you have as risk management is your instinct you will burn yourself up and you will be full of regrets later on.
Because you are right today, won't make you right the next time, even if your instinct is at work again, do you know how many millions of gamblers are in this world? Many rely on their instinct as you are and yet they make all the mistakes possible, they end up losing a lot to gambling.
Insticnt, strategies, patterns, vunerabilities, all these are just for a fraction of time in gambling space, they don't always work for everyone as time goes on, not for long before you realize that you are on your own, and everything you think you knew will disappear in a flash of second.
so true. Sometimes instinct will grow together with greed. and also sometimes because of our belief in a particular team. So it could be that the instinct that emerges is the opposite and not in accordance with what we want. Because you are right today, won't make you right the next time, even if your instinct is at work again, do you know how many millions of gamblers are in this world? Many rely on their instinct as you are and yet they make all the mistakes possible, they end up losing a lot to gambling.

Today i decided to try one of my sweet predictions in the EPL games. So, i predicted in 4 matches and placed my net. However, during this time i watched my games played so well but two games were holding it and i felt i would lose this game. It was already 83 minutes and i needed these games to play at 87 minutes i gave up and decided to cashout the amount i used to stake since it was the amount that was showing there. I thought it was clear and instead of losing i should rather just get my money back. Just in 15 minutes after i checked the live score and found out that the game played. I felt so angry and unhappy because i have not trusted my instincts if not i wouldn't have cashed out at that time.
Too bad, but when I started to gamble, there was one a wise man who advise me not to change my bet. As in the beginning I will bet on horse racing, but suddenly I will scratch my bet and doesn't want to put money on it because it was a long shot. But damn, after that it won and so I learn my valuable lessons there.
And so moving forward, I don't change or do early cash out. If I lost the game, then I will take that L. Instead of like cashing out early and then later regret it. So yes, you should trust your instinct as a gamble no matter what the odds are.
I don't like regretting my actions because there is nothing I can do to change it. OP is unhappy that he cashed out because he could have won higher if he had left the game. But we fail to recall that sometimes cashing out is a good option because the game might end up unfavourable. If the said bet didn't play like it happened, OP would have regretted that he didn't cash out. Some gamblers are high-risk takers who are willing to take any form of risk just to win the highest stage.

So it needs to be instilled in the mindset of always being complacent about what has been obtained. -snip-
People who are too greedy and always lack with the victory produced, let alone it is a big victory, in the end it will only be a looming defeat.
Seeing some gamblers who are just squandering their money in pursuit of uncertain winnings, they don't have any guidelines.
In the end, they will lose it all and regret it.

Low-risk takers are always comfortable with little or average wins because they don't have the guts to take high risks. OP congratulations on your win because many people have not won any game for a long time.

The reality is that most people won't stand a chance, instincts or not, against the vast data analysis that is performed and applied by all the biggest bookmakers out there. Sure, you will get lucky on occasion and beat the odds, but these bookmakers are winning on the long term because they've got this "brain power" processing their odds. In this scenario your instincts were overwhelmingly telling you to cash out, which put it at direct odds with your original instinct of how it would play out, so you wouldn't know which instinct to follow in the scenario given.
Does gamblers really have instincts or it is again just a pure luck? This of this, if this is an instinct, then it can be trained, inherited, it is somewhere in DNA. It cant out of nowhere, there must be an explanation of its existence. Yet we have in this gambling section have discussed already that it is impossible to get gambling genes, nor train any advantage in prediction. So isnt it then just some kind of form of random, rather than an instinct? And you notice how this work only in win scenario? We always caught our-self thinking "if I would do this, I would have won". But we hardly pay attention or focus on "If I would have done this, I would have lost".
I find that the best way to prevent a early cashout, is to not watch the game live or to look at the bets on the site.
You can see the odds for the game changing in real-time, while the game are being played and that might tempt you to cashout early... so avoid watching that.
I record the games and I watch them the next day. I can then free up some time to do something else and also forward through a game that are boring.

Not just in gambling, I think that in most aspects of your life, it would be a good advice to stick to your instincts, I can't count how many stuff that lead to me doing stupid things if I didn't follow my gut and so far, it paid off so far because I didn't got into any trouble. With gambling though, it's a bit different for me since I don't do much betting but when I do, definitely my instincts are going to be useful. It's also worth noting that there's going to be some times that it's not your gut that's talking to you and you would be doing some decisions that are totally wrong.
Another thing that we should consider is that we'll also going to be factoring in reality, I mean look at the teams that you're betting, your instincts might say you bet on the higher odds but the reality is that they're playing against the strongest team on the league and it's not great that you should waste your time when the obvious pick is already there.

I mean that was pretty normal I guess and happened to most of the gamblers, there are just really sometimes when your emotions could hit and you are just afraid of losing then end up going on the safer bets or maybe instantly cashing out just to make it safe right. I have many similar situations because when I gamble what I really don't want to happen is to lose my control on my emotions, like losing it and end up losing all of my money on the bet because I get frustrated in the bets and want to get my money back.
It happened to me a lot of times already, but I would agree to just stick with your instinct on a bet rather than regretting it in the end but still, if you think that you already make a good amount on your betting I would easily cashout that money, then continue growth the small amount again to accumulate profit. As you can see I usually do 500PHP of bet which is around 10$ only low bets with a much higher return, with the strategy I could continue with any bet with no problem even if I lose since I could easily recover from it.

Avoiding second guessing yourself is important, but just as you are mad that things did not go your way, if you had been correct then right now you will be happy about cashing out earlier.So unless you know very well what you are doing you are better off just making your bet and sticking to it to the end, as every single time you take a decision like that you are allowing the casinos to get an edge over you, since casinos would not offer you the option to cash out early, if it was not in their best interest to do it.

Well, this is common amongst gamblers as we try our best to loss everything in one round. You shouldn't regret or blame your self over this. That because what if you had left it without cashing out and eventually you have lost? You see some more reason why gambling more of luck.
When we gamble, we shouldn't regret any move or think probably that a recent move must have given use a win.
Yea it might be true but if luck doesn't play in, we might as well loss the funds. It's a normal thing to cash out very early as a gambler as this will help you reduce your risk of losing all.
Don't feel bad about the whole incident of cashing out before time, just take it as one of those things gamblers experience on a bet that they cash out before time, which they would have waited.
We have heard of stories on how some gamblers have refused to take out their cash-out request from their bet games and ended up losing to it without earning any money. But in your case, you earn something, which is a bonus to you than not earning money at all.
Have you reasoned in a situation where you waited for your bets to finish, and you later lost to it, what would you have done? To complain bitterly about how you missed the cash-out opportunity given to you right?
At times, we don't have to generally feel bad about some of the gambling decisions we took because it can be the best decision we took as of then when we were confused about our bets games on what to do "requesting a cash-out or not"

We've all done this before and have been on the wrong side of the decision. But there has been plenty of time watching games and seeing how they are playing out would go against my bet and cashed out and salvaged what I could vs losing the whole thing. I've never monitored if I made more right than wrong decisions but it's gotta be somewhere near the middle. So I think either way in the long run cashing out mid bet isn't always the wrong thing to do.
When you experienced things like this, don't think you made a wrong choice by allow the game to end to see the outcome of the results because some times you can cash out and the game end to your first prediction which we have seen cases like this in the gambling center.Even me too, I don't monitor my ticket until the game end before I will check the result to know whether I win or lose because, I know one thing must happen in that prediction either you win or you lose which are some things that is encouraging me not to monitor my games till the end of the games.
Cash out is only for the weak, since I'm not a weak person, I never cash out my bet even though things doesn't looks good.
It is not for the weak but he just did it on the wrong time when he's not yet in profit but just felt that he's scared and want to cash it out.As he said, there are times that we have to follow our instincts and if we think of pulling and cashing out our bets, that's okay and put that into priority without thinking of the what ifs that shall come next.
Don't let your emotion to control your decision because it's just temporary. Probably you're not think twice before make a bet, so you're still not completely sure if you won't make any change in your prediction.
I agree, think twice before you make a bet and if you have already made a decision that there's no stopping after you cast a bet. But that option is there and made by the casino for someone who changes his mind every now and then.

This is not something new, but I would not have felt so bad if it were me, as I have taken such decisions most of the time, and sometimes I do let go and allow the match to just play the way it is supposed to play; if it enters, it enters, but if it plays, so be it. That's what makes me a gambler. Either way, you did not lose completely in the game; you have some money cashed out because you did not believe in your prediction. Just 1 minute left in a game can change the entire situation. In most cases, I don't give up until the whistle for the last minute has been blown.
Well my instincts do tell me to stop gambling altogether and stake my FUN instead, but I guess that's easier said then done lol
Inexperienced gamblers may struggle with emotional control and decision-making when faced with uncertainty and the potential for loss. The fear of losing money and the anxiety of not knowing the outcome can lead them to make impulsive decisions, such as cashing out prematurely. This behavior is often driven by a desire to alleviate immediate discomfort and uncertainty, even if it means missing out on potential gains in the long run.
It seems like you were talking about me on this. I remember when I started gambling newly, I was so frightened not to lose. It was bad to the point that even after making predictions, I ended up not playing the game because of fear of losing. At this time, it was so difficult for me to maintain my cool but gradually I gained confidence on the ground that the money I was afraid to lose, was still spent on frivolities. It was after this thought I learned to control my emotions and I must say that it has helped me so far in my gambling.
Emotional stability allows gamblers to make rational decisions based on probabilities and potential outcomes rather than being swayed by impulsive reactions to wins or losses. I now understand the importance of managing risk. I can assess my risk tolerance and make calculated bets accordingly. Emotional stability helps gamblers stick to their predetermined risk management strategies.

It happens when we gamble. If you think that you have no confidence with your bet, you better just don't bet at all because that's what you'll get disappointed with to yourself. You'll even have hard time in moving on and that's why if you have that instinct that you should have bet on that and didn't cashed out early, you've got the money but since you're too paranoid and you think that it is going nowhere, you did what you have to do. And as we decide not to pursue live bets, if you decided to take your money back, there's no coming back upon doing it. Start the question to yourself of what if you lost that bet? Are you going to be angry still with yourself because you have taken your money and bet back? I bet that you are not because you have got the money. With these circumstances, we all think about the after results that are too positive for us but if the opposite goes, you'd still have the same emotion for being angry. I think that before you gamble, check your emotion or much better don't gamble at all because having these signs that you've got emotional problem, if this grows, you'll have to deal with this kind of behavior of yours hardly.
