You may prefer the ticket to lose instead of accepting the amount given to you as cash out.
Not everyone Will prefer their ticket to lose instead of cashing our, you should just speak for yourself. If am gambling and am given the opportunity to cash out, if am not confident about the remaining matches left, then I will just cash out and go away with my win, some times when gambling we shouldn’t be greedy, it’s better you cash out the little amount than you losing everything.
If people like you end up going into future trading, you might end up just losing your money always, because future trading is not for the greedy once. If you are greedy, you might always end up using high leverage always just because you want much money, and some times when you are suppose to take profit, you won’t because you won’t be satisfied with the profit.
Which always been the case for those greedy traders and also with those greedy gamblers, with that same mindset of keep aiming for more and not being contented with what supposedly they already gained, losing is probably the outcome results, you always have that option to quit, either you win some or you already losing portions of your money, if by chance you have the option better not to be greedy and choose that wise decision either to lessen or to secure your chances.
You might have lesser earnings but secure or you may lose a portion of your money, but you can continue and re-try the chase.
Though, it's sure that we will hear different perceptions and opinions depending on the person who will define and justify his case.
It's all about the propensity of a gambler to take risks. Just cause they lost on a big bet doesn't mean they are stupid, especially if there's a pattern in their betting which leads them to make these ludicrous bets in the process. Same goes for those who relish in that hellhole called futures trading. Just cause they lost on a big trade and their asses got liquidated doesn't make them a failure of a person especially when they've studied the ins and outs of the craft.
If these gamblers went in raw without proper knowledge/background about gambling and then they lose their shit then sure, call them stupid and dumb, but everything comes with its own sets of risks, it's just that some of us here are accustomed to the same risk and have made contingencies to combat those, but that doesn't mean they'd always win.
