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?
Speaking from my own personal experience.  I do not need a gambling community, friends or family to help me monitor my bets. If they do that on my behalf,  it still won't take away the pressure I would feel while the games are still on. I usually gamble with amounts i can afford to lose so, i do  not feel that much pressure that will make me give out my betting slips to other people to monitor if i am winning or not. My decision on whether to cashout or hold longer depends on my mood for that day and that decision is solely mine and not influenced by other people's opinion.
One stream of opinion is enough to distract and disperse quite a lot of attention, once brought out to the community and friends, this dispersion divides into many more streams and the question here is which stream of opinion should we follow, feeling like our stance is being strongly reduced by opposing opinions, in terms of life, it is not the criterion that determines success when the shadow of others is too big and overwhelms the light of our ability. One should automatically build a suitable stance, even if losing is a stepping stone to gain corresponding experiences, instead of being a glimmer of light that cannot radiate glory.
