Unfair odds against Napoli - 3.6. Are they really that bad according to the bookmakers? However, they scored a goal already in the 5th minute, and if you do not want to risk to the end, you can close your bet with a profit right now. I don’t know how I would act in this situation, most likely I continued to keep the bet - throwing usually only worsens the profit, since the bettor agrees to get a lower profit than the one he originally expected.

Man this thing of closing bets before it ends is something much more risky, I've already happened to close bets before the game ends and then I see that the team I bet on is winning by many goals and I regret the choice I made, so only in the last cases I close bet before the game ends

I would say that the main danger of such profit-taking (small compared to the profit that will be obtained if the required result holds until the very end) is not in the risk, but in the loss of profit. It turns out that if we lose a bet, we lose all of it, and when we win, we get only a part of the profit. Obviously, this is not profitable. Maybe this makes sense only if the outcome of the multi-bet depends on this particular match.
