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.

I don't think this is greed because that was like a sure again but unfortunately, it is gambling where nothing is sure hence losses will always happen. Ask yourself, how many gamblers will cash out such a bet where Sporting is at home, playing Santa Clara which they are far stronger than and already leading by one goal? I will not cash out such bets and miss $302 that I would have already be drawing plans on how to spend and I know many gamblers will also not cash out such bet. Therefore, I will not blame the gambler because he did nothing wrong neither did he display any form of greed. The loss that you have described is what makes gambling what it is and there is no way to avoid such losses.
