Well explained.
This is what most gamblers have to see when they're doubting their decisions to cash out when they've got some profit already but, wanting to make the most of it and will have to wait for a bigger amount of winnings.
There are conditions that we have to accept and if you are the type of lesser risk approach gambler, cashing out even if with lesser profits, that will be the best option to do.

I think the chances of winning big may be reduced, but because of the uncertainty of profits in gambling, it should be understood that we must take advantage of the profits that have been obtained.
What OP described is probably the bigger picture, and there’s nothing inherently wrong with cashing out. But if you’re a gambler or sports bettor aiming for long-term success, it’s better to avoid this habit. It could lead to frustration over time, as it tends to cut into your potential profits.
So is there any strategy behind cash-out?
Not really unless you're betting from the start with it in mind, a cash-out is mainly a bet, you make a bet by cashing out too, as you think you will lose the last game , you also take a bet by not cashing out, so bottom line it's more like taking a supplementary bet on an already existing one.

There are gamblers that makes their bets with the intention of cashing out at a particular cashout flash amount and for them they don't care what next became the outcome of the whole game after cashing out because initially that was the plan. It's a strategy they use not to stay without profit irrespective of what comes in.
Bottom line, cash-out is not only a double edge sword that can
- minimalize losses, protect part of your bet and allow you to create a strategy in the last second
- will reduce your profits, will have a negative effect on your state of mind if you missed a big payout
But most importantly is requires timing and discipline, making it impossible for people with tight schedules to execute correctly.
Actually, discussing losses is something that is certain to happen to us who gamble because in any case losses cannot be avoided because we are only players who have a chance that is indeed smaller than the chance of losing.- minimalize losses, protect part of your bet and allow you to create a strategy in the last second
- will reduce your profits, will have a negative effect on your state of mind if you missed a big payout
But most importantly is requires timing and discipline, making it impossible for people with tight schedules to execute correctly.
But minimizing losses can be done and it depends on ourselves, such as those of us who can withdraw winnings or profits that have been obtained, even though it may not be a big win but there is good behavior behind this, namely the awareness to take advantage of existing opportunities.

Major points:
- cash-out is an option to get out of a bet before the event has ended
- cash-out will not always be positive, depending on the results and the gameplay you might be allowed to cash-out less than your bet

I have been seeing many threads created concerning cashout in gambling, but this is more explanatory in giving the clear information needed over the way we can manage our bet with the use of the available option to cashout.
as said, it serves as an opportunity of letting us out of the crashing consequence over the bet played, we could play diverse games in our bet but have some things about them changed or we change our mind by ourselves and having the option to cashout will help safe the entire bet form ruin.
I don't think they are any arithmetic and mathematical tactics to understand cashout options. The idea of it is quite simple and straight forward. Your cashout offer tends to get very high when your bets is going according to your prediction and when they are going in the opposite direction the value gets lower. sometimes the cash out option doesn't show at all due to the fact that one of the game on the bet slip is locked. Cashout has it's advantage and disadvantages, one of advantage is having an edge over your bets, you don't have to wait till all the games plays out, this can save you from a lot of losses.
The mathematical computation was already brought up there. Bookie use a formula in able to come up with the amount they will offer in every possible scenario happened in the game. It’s impossible for a bookie to just randomly assigned values on their cashout while they offer it via live games.
Sure bookies have mathematical analogy they use in determining the cash out amount to give to a running bet but however, i still feel that the cash out options are sometimes manipulated especially when the bet is still going the right direction and there are also times when the cash out option is not made available in a bet for some time before the system comes back again so regardless that the cash out option has been a welcome idea especially in sports betting but it is not completely fair when the bookies are displaying the cash out amount in a running bet.
That's an extremely informative post! As a relatively new member in gambling who's still learning the ropes around casinos, bets, and all the available options, you went through everything in detail, explaining each process with examples, making it understandable even to the complete noob. I also saw one or two other threads a few days ago, took a quick glance, but was a little frustrated and didn't understand what the cash-out option was and quit; I didn't bother going through them again. As a noob to these options, thank you for taking the time to write a constructive and simple explanation on how it works.
Check the other topics and topic about bets or odds and you might find out you're overestimating the knowledge of gamblers around.
I also noticed that or maybe the one that I really read about. I noticed some threads recently is about how someone supposed to have used cashout to win huge amount of money but did not use it and the only one match that remain was lost and he lost the bet. So I thought they were using that mentality to post that the person supposed to cashout. I will check other ones that is not about someone that suppose to have won huge amount if he had cashout. I will not be surprised if I see people posting that cashout is about making profit because there are many people on this forum that are not actually gambling but want to post to fill their weekly signature post requirement. 
I have read that there are some positive results, but when you weigh the positives against the negatives, the negatives clearly outweigh them. This means it’s not beneficial for us in the long run, so if it’s supposed to be part of a strategy, I’d avoid using it as it reduces my chances of winning and makes betting unnecessarily complicated.
You should follow what you believe is right that’s why I pointed out that it will work both ways depending on your strategy. If you knew to yourself that the risk it carry is greater than the possible benefits then cash out is not for you to make a working strategy out of it.
I’m not using it either as way to make profit but I see the potential to use it that way since there’s some pick that you can have an early profit due to the slow match start that later on over turn in the end of the game.
I don't think they are any arithmetic and mathematical tactics to understand cashout options.
And how do you suppose all that works?
It's pure math, how would it even be possible if it weren't for formula, there would be a guy there watching ever single game and every cash-out option and updating them manually as he sees fit? It's all math and automatization.
Think of it this way: if they believe your chance of winning is 60%, the cash-out offer will reflect less than that value. For example, if the real odds based on chances are 2.50, they might offer you a cash-out equivalent of 2.20. That means they’re saving 0.30 in odds value, which is a significant edge for them.
Of course they are lower since the risk is still there, and no 2.20 is too much for that, 1.9 would be closer to reality.
Anyone that is betting very well will know what cash out is even if they are not using it.

Regarding the last part I quoted, that’s exactly what many posters in the cash-out thread overlook. They assume that cashing out equals securing profit and gives them an advantage.
I do not agree with this. Anyone that is betting very well will know what cash out is even if they are not using it. If the betting site they choose is having it and bettors are checking their bets that have not been played finish very well, they will be seeing the cash out and the amount they can be able to cash out which will let them know what cash out it. It has advantage and it also has disadvantage. 
I think everyone who have used the cash out option already know that the amount available for cash out is directly proportional to the risk associated with the bet slip working as predicted. As the probability increases, so will the amount available for cash out and vice versa. It can get to a point where the cash out will be far less than the amount used in placing the bet, in this case, using the cash out option might just be to secure capital to used for subsequent bets.
The cash out option isn't really worth it sometimes because it can be very much not in your favour sometimes. Just like you mentioned, a couple of times it can get really unusually low and that is the reason why even when some gamblers are losing a bet they just let it go even after they are promoted with the option to cash out and that is because it was relatively way small compared to their initial bet amount.
The fact is the weaker the odds are in your favour the smaller your cash out amount gets till it eventually becomes zero after you lose the bet. That's why some casinos allow you cancel a bet when the game hasn't started.

You explained the cash-out option clearly and very easy for people to understand. Because from some of the explanations that other people said I saw that they did not get the essence of the cash-out option itself and only said that it was not useful enough for gamblers. Your point that said that it is a double-edged sword is very right, because even though it helps gamblers to minimize their losses, when they use the feature it will reduce profits and also has the potential to make gamblers lose big potential profits. So for gamblers who plan to use this feature they must use it wisely and understand the disadvantages.

I’ve read everything you shared, and you’ve explained it well - thank you!
Regarding the last part I quoted, that’s exactly what many posters in the cash-out thread overlook. They assume that cashing out equals securing profit and gives them an advantage. But, as you’ve highlighted through examples and conclusions, cashing out can often have a negative impact on overall betting. It might seem like a safe move, but in the long run, it limits potential gains and can hurt profitability.
Cashout has it's advantage and disadvantages, one of advantage is having an edge over your bets, you don't have to wait till all the games plays out, this can save you from a lot of losses.
I don't think so... you can’t say it will save you from a lot of losses when the outcome isn’t certain yet. also, keep in mind that bookies typically won’t offer the cash-out option if they see your bet is likely to lose. Cash-out is only available when your bet still has a chance of winning, but even then, it’s designed to benefit the bookie.
Think of it this way: if they believe your chance of winning is 60%, the cash-out offer will reflect less than that value. For example, if the real odds based on chances are 2.50, they might offer you a cash-out equivalent of 2.20. That means they’re saving 0.30 in odds value, which is a significant edge for them. Even if you successfully cash out, you’re paid less than what you would’ve earned if the bet had won outright.
It’s a bit complicated, but as OP's explanation really nailed the point clearly.
I don't think they are any arithmetic and mathematical tactics to understand cashout options. The idea of it is quite simple and straight forward. Your cashout offer tends to get very high when your bets is going according to your prediction and when they are going in the opposite direction the value gets lower. sometimes the cash out option doesn't show at all due to the fact that one of the game on the bet slip is locked.

I still didn’t verify the formula above whether it’s applicable to all bookies or not on the OP but I do believe bookie do have formula.
@stompix do you try to verify the calculation above on one of the sportsbook available in the forum to satisfy the formula result? Nice thread btw!

Thank you @stompix for properly explaining this and also adding the formula of calculating it, because I also did have a topic which I created some months ago that I was asking why bookies allows cash out, I think I was the first person to ask a question regarding this cash out features by bookies.
This cash out future is not completely in favour of the gamblers as some people thinks, the bookies have an edge which they are also in advantage of that feature.

You have applied your mathematical knowledge into identifying if there is a precise strategy towards cash out. But trust me many persons will still think whatever they think towards cashout. This will not change their view on their personal definition on cashout. If they are in the position to take the offer, their decisions still stand.
Anyway, i understand what you have point out so far.
Anyway, i understand what you have point out so far.
This means most gamblers don’t think long-term as they just see the immediate opportunity and take it without considering the bigger picture. What OP shared is really informative, as it gives us a clearer understanding. And based on that, if cashing out is a regular part of your gambling strategy, it’s worth reconsidering because, as shown, it doesn’t help in the long run.
Actually, the conclusion here is that cash out works like a double edge sword if you guys pay attention on the details to the later part. He explained it’s technical aspect which is correct but he never concluded whether it’s right or wrong to use in a strategy because it has pros and cons that will work both ways depending on how you use it.
The way I way view it and I totally agree. You can actually develop a strategy that cash out will work on the right sport and timing but of course there’s always a risk of losing in the end since this is gambling.
I have read that there are some positive results, but when you weigh the positives against the negatives, the negatives clearly outweigh them.
