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 blame the gambler at all, the tables could've turned out positive for him and he'll be celebrated, but he had the last minutes bag luck. Even if it was me, I'll never cash out when Sporting was winning and possibly it was obvious Sporting was superior to the opponents and they were at home, meaning a supposed double advantage for Sporting.
This reinstates the fact that gambling is all about luck, until the final whistle is blown, you're not sure of anything.
