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.

He is very greedy indeed who refuses to withdraw such a large amount from just $4. It's hard to accept that no one would cash out because it's such a big Odd. He had confidence that his side would win which is why he didn't cash out but luck played a different game with him. He lost his bet his chance. This is his great misfortune. I certainly wouldn't have missed that opportunity at $444 or if $200 was offered for $4 I would have cashed it out.

I think that he is not greedy but silly. In such situation i wouldn`t agree cash out. You have to wait just 15 minutes, you team is winning - it is good chance. But i prefer to defend my bet. If he bet $100 against Sporting, he`ve got $100-150 profit at least i think. In the result it would be less, than he could get with cash out, but it would be nice profit without any risks.
