In sports betting specifically football is your decision to cash out or wait it out until the end of the game based on the opinions of other people if you shared your bet slip with them while the game is on?

Some people after they have placed their bets on several games may be so excited to share their bet slip with their gambling community who helps to monitor if games they bet on are winning or they are losing. In some cases if all the other games were a win and it remains like two more games on the slip, they may feel pressured to cash out based on the opinions of their friends. In this case do you give in or hold out based on their opinions?

It can really depend on the situation, if you have won 4 out of 5 bets on a multibet and you're feeling less confident about the last one landing for some reason - it might be wise to cash out. If you happen to be watching a very fast paced and volatile game, but your bet is currently ahead with a fair amount of profit, you may wish to cash out. However I've found that just letting the bet run and going with your initial instincts is probably the best course to profitability. There is likely a reason that you have chosen to make that bet and take those odds, which were probably highly favorable, so just let it run to the end unless you have a lot of money on the line.
