A gambler, staked $4* on 19 games, which gave him a $746 winning potential. All the games came through but remained one, Sporting vs Santa Clara. He picked Sporting to win. Around the 75th minute Sporting was leading 1-0, Sporty, the online bookie offered him a cash out of exactly $444 cash out offer. Which is about 111x his original capital staked.

The gambler, rejected it. As he was gearing for full ecstasy. Alas! around 90+7mins, Santa Clara equalized and the game ended 1-1. He lost his $4, lost $746 and lost $444. Same old stories of gamblers and their greed or whatever other term they use to justify their behavior.

Kindly drop your thoughts and opinions.

That surely pisses off especially when the other team hits a goal and the match ends up in draw.
I have myself lost such bets where the opposite team hit goal in the last minute ending up losing the bet.
I have also received cash out option on few matches but I decided to hold and lose.
Its how it is but I don't regret it because the funds were for gambling and I considered them lost right when I deposited them to my gambling account.
