OP, what happened to you is nothing strange to me, as it has happened to me several times,but what I come to notice is that, when we go for a cash out without any profit on it, it means that you have used the money that you cannot afford to lose, and that was why you were unable to wait for the matches to be over to know your fate.
 

There is also a place of emotional stability to this along side experience. An inexperienced gambler will not be able to wait to see what happens whether they have bet with money they can afford or not, they would cash out when it comes, the most reason for this is fear to lose and anxiety for not knowing what to do and so they want to end it by going the cash out way then waiting for another opportunity to win but such opportunity may take a longer time to achieve. However, One can use cash out because that is what is made for but no need to express regret when it turns out it would have been to the player's favour.
Emotional stability and experience are important aspects of gambling. Indeed, these factors play a significant role in how individuals approach and engage with gambling activities. Gambling is actually playing games to have psychology waves that make gamblers feel that are doing things in the game eventhough physically they are not.

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. Experienced gamblers understand that uncertainty and fluctuations are inherent in gambling, and they develop the patience and resilience to withstand temporary setbacks in pursuit of greater returns.

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.
I almost made the same mistake yesterday but I resisted that fear and left the game. I played an accumulator containing Atalanta vs Bologna - over2.5 and Napoli vs Juventus- both teams to score, total of 4.1 odds. The first game which played earlier went on and delivered correctly after which the cashout was displayed and I was already in huge profits. I decided to wait for the second match because I already calculated the risk and it was within my limits. Napoli scored in first half and I started waiting for Juventus to score which they never did even until 80th minute and I was seriously tempted to cash out what I was offered. It took me serious courage to resist that urge and eventually Juventus scored in the 81st minute and I was so excited to have won the sleep.

Cashing out is not a bad choice but sometimes it is good to let it run. The whole thing comes back to what you posted about following ones instincts.

Sigh! Cry when are you going to accept that luck is luck, forget what you think you know, this is gambling, a place where skills in your skull isn't even needed, don't think you can outsmart anything, it's a complete game of luck, when you think about a possibility always think about two outcomes.

It's either it goes very bad or very good, but if you think that you are in control, brother you are not, accept your win and erase that guilt or feeling that you might have won a lot more, there is no room for such as a gambler, if you give room for such you will end up in problem later.

Wait till the day your instinct lead you astray, who are you going to complain to? Just because you are right now doesn't mean you should start listening to the voices in your head that you believe to be the calling, you will be shocked, keep doing this and keep us posted.

That's happened to many gamblers and not just you. Sometimes we are not sure with our analysis and doubt that we can win much money. We cash out the money but then when we checked the live score, we shocked seeing the result. That's gambling and we should not feel bad because we can't get much money than we expected. We should think that someday, we can win that much money and it's better to enjoy the money we get. But sometimes, we need to thanks to ourselves that we cash out the money before the match is end, especially if the results is not going to be what we want. We must remember that we playing gambling only for have fun and not make money unless you really want to make money from gambling. If that so, you need to have a better analysis so you will not doubt with yourself.

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.

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 had a similar experience in the past, and all I have is regret. We are gambling to win big, not to minimize our losses and that should be the goal. For weak gamblers, to avoid cashing out a winning bet because of fear, it's advisable not to watch the game. That way, we can feel relaxed....  Cool

The thing is, before selecting that bet, whether it's a parlay or a single bet, you studied it, and you were confident in your pick. Cashing out would make your effort useless.

Sometimes it is hard to know the difference between the right instincts and the wrong one. That is why human are imperfect. You don't know if you haven't cashout maybe the game would have also cut and you will loose all and you start regretting of not cashing out early. You won't blame yourself because I have also left a game before without cashing out, and the game later cut so it is hard for you to know when your instincts is telling you the right or wrong.

It's instincts, we are not sure where it will go. We just have to trust it especially if most of our instincts did tell us in the past it was the right option.
But I still disagree with cashing out at just the same amount as you bet because there's nothing that was really done. We are gambling because we like the risk and our goal is to make profits out of our bets. But if you just get ROI, it's like nothing really happened.
And it's a parlay, there is supposed to be profit first before we cash out our ticket. There will be times that we have to be brave about our bets especially if we are the ones who made the parlay. That's your own analyzation of that game which means you must have a lot of trust in it.
I mean, just a bit of profit could've been better and I bet there will be no frustration that will linger if it was the result of your bet even if you do an early cashout.

At least you will still get a profit, even though it is not as big as if you kept the bet completed, and you are very likely to get a different result in another parlay, so if today you feel sorry for using the cashout feature, it is very possible that next time you will be grateful that you decided to use this cashout feature.
However, we should stick to what we have implemented because if we choose multi-bet in four bets, it means we are expecting a profit of that size and we will never make a cashout unless we choose more, for example, 10 matches with 8 already completed and we feel unsure about the rest, then that's it can be done to secure a definite profit even though it is not as big as what has been targeted, and those who like risk will stick with their choice even though the profits they get are very tempting and will not use cashout.

That happened a lot to me. I thought that I was gonna lose so it's better to cash out my bet (either lose or at least get back my bet) but in the end that was a winning bet but sometimes that's really a good option to withdraw it while it's early, sometimes I withdraw it earlier even if all the matches are good because I was afraid that having a little profit is good as long as it is secured than waiting for all the games to finish and might be risky.


Now, I was thinking whether this kind of feature is good or bad or at least can we try to turn it on or off in the option as sometimes people don't want to cash out or accidentally cash out it.  Huh

When I understood this, I only bet with the money that I can afford to lose, so that when I have a cashout option that is exactly the amount that I used to stake my bet, I would not mibfmd because I can let go of it. However, if it is when the cash out is bigger than the amount that I used for the bet, that is when I do consider it, so that I don't feel that I am too greedy and that was why I lost the game.

One thing about gambling like they say is that it is luck base. I don't regret certain actions that is taken about gambling. That which you are regretting might have turned out that you will lose all of the money you staked with but however, it is better to also follow the slogan of betting what you can afford to lose so that when you lose it you won't regret it. For example this is another twist to it, if you had left the money with that feeling of whatever the outcome will be then you will be satisfied because you have bet with an amount you want to forfeit, then perhaps you would have left it and that outcome would have favoured you.
but sports betting doesn't just rely or based on luck, if you are a fan or a solid watcher of the sports you are betting then you have the idea of which team will win in every matches, what OP's problem is that he doesn't stick to his own decision and judgement, as an sports bettor also, I also like to bet in sports especially in basketball or NBA, but after I placed my bets I take away the device I used to bet because I like to see the matches or my bet to the end, I don't want to ruin or get back at my bet or decision mid game, yes it might not a reasonable way of betting but that is my own way, if I will going To lose then so be it but if not then thank god.

but of course, I'm a human to I sometimes does what OP do, but in a scenario that I didn't have any idea of which team will win or what will be the outcome of the game based on score, and the amount I bet is too huge, then that's the case wherein I will cash out mid game if I feel that I will lose the bet.

Right, if you're talking about sports betting, usually the bettors are solid fans and they know how to play the team they choose and then they trust the team members so they can be sure to drop the bet. No matter how much we know how both team play, we are not sure who will win and who will win. It's also a double purpose if you're betting on sports betting, firstly, you'll be enjoy especially if you're an avid fan of that game and second, you have a high chance of winning based on your luck and the talent of the member you're betting on.

It's a very sad experience and I have been in such situations many times. Sometimes those games won't clear out and you will be very happy that you were able to cash out. There are days you cash out and the game that were left couldn't play. Don't be so hard on yourself. Just see it as one of those things that happens with gambling. But the truth be told, you will feel pain and you will wish you could turn back time and make a different decision. The deed has been done and there is nothing more you can do about it. I advised myself that whenever I place I won't check the bet slip until the next day, whatever the outcome I will take it like that.

God is great
This is one of the reasons I hate cash out. This is also one of the reasons I do not like to watch any of the matches or their live scores until the matches ended. I have staked on a match before that the goal that made me won the game was scored in the 5 minutes extra time given and it was less than 1 minutes 30 seconds to the end of the match. Also can someone lose within that short minute. As for me, even if I am losing, I do not cash out. The money that is always offered for cash out is not always favoring.
Gambling can't be predicted,  you can't really tell when to win or when to lose that is why it is good whenever one wants to play gamble it is important to play with the amount that one can afford to lose. Most times when gamblers use huge amount of money to gamble their mind is not stable when the game is going on,  and fear to lose can make them to withdraw their money even before the end of the game and if the games eventually ends the way they wanted they will feel bad about their decision.

The reason why it is good to playing with amount you can afford to lose is that you won't be on panic when the game is going to make decisions of withdrawing your money that may not favour you. Playing with the amount you can afford to lose, even if you lose it won't be a burden to you that much, than playing with a bigger amount and expecting so much from gambling.  Sometimes people get scared of loosing their money because they can't afford to lose it.

I know this feeling very well too and made similar mistakes in the past myself. Sport matches can seem quite long if they are very close and we bet money on them. When watching games live I used to question my own decisions too and wanted to cash out mid game to not lose money. Feeling bad once our team wins and we gave in to these thoughts about cashing out early is normal. But I stopped myself from doing it completely. The best way was to not place any intra game bets anymore. If I place a bet for one team to win the match then I am going to stick with it even if it seems unrealistic at the moment. This also helped me up enjoy games much more again, because it's not an option anymore to place anymore bets.

That's what greed can do to a person.  Instead of being happy cashing out the winnings, he is remorseful of his action of cashing out.  But what if the result goes the other way around?  Do you still get angry and unhappy?  I believe the secret of maintaining a good gambling activity in harmony with a person's daily lives is being contented with the winnings and accepting the losses when it is an unlucky day.  Though I wish you had continued and not cashed out, getting angry over the things you have decided simply shows the greed hidden within you.  Grin.

It is best to be flexible and decide where we are at an advantage.  I do not see any wrong with you cashing out early and securing a profit is the best way to do it.  Instincts may not always be correct.  Many people were ruined because of what they called instinct.  Remember no one knows the future, so the best move to secure the profit in a parlay is to withdraw and cash out the moment one has doubt over his bet.

Trusting your instincts is important but it's also important to remember that gambling always involves risk and uncertainty, even best predictions or instincts may not always result in a win. I understand how it can be frustrating to missed a potential winning, although, it's natural to feel disappointed, try not to dwell on missed opportunities, instead, use that experience as a learning opportunity for future bets.

It maybe important to consider but if we are playing on game which base on luck then I guess we can't get any accurate result since everything there will be in random. But if we are really to confident on our self and always follow our instinct then maybe everything is good especially if we follow our plans made. But there's no guarantee at all here especially if we want to deal something since in gambling we can be happy or get disappointed but what's important there is we know what is our main goal here. We will never get disappointed if we are just there to have fun, but for sure there's learning we can get if we are consistent gambler and we can apply all the experiences we learn so that we may have huge chance to gain and grab every opportunity available especially on taking critical decision regarding on each result you have in gambling.
