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.
What you just displayed is a typical human nature, we are never satisfied and always act based on emotion and the feelings of wanting more. This is supposed not to be so, we should be contented and try to do better next time as nothing is perfect in decision-making, not even our instincts. But have you thought of the possibility of losing all the money if that game fails? It would be more painful if you had left it and it lost. This is gambling, the outcome can be either positive or negative, and thankfully, you did not lose your money but gained the amount back, and it is such that could be wagered again the next time, so no hurt feelings here and your decision is heroic to me. I have seen many cases like yours where the bettor would be advised to cash out but did not and lost all the money.

The last one was just last month when I advised someone to cash having won 8 times her wagered amount. She wanted to be adamant and wait just for a single game, but I so much persuaded her to yield my advice and she eventually did. Guess what, the lone game she was waiting for ended against her and she couldn't thank me enough. As gamblers, we should be well managerial in nature and what you just did is called proper management at that time, but it still baffles me how you ended up gaining back just the exact amount you wagered, that must have been outrageously said judging by your picks.
