A stop loss in trading is automatic and follows your preset rules, which is super helpful when you can’t watch the market. But in gambling, especially with cash-out on sports bets, it’s a manual decision, and often it depends if the site even wants to offer it. That’s a big difference: one is built to protect your capital, the other is more about the odds they're giving you.
Sometimes the bookmakers don't even allow make the cashout option available, when a game is locked it can end up affecting the whole bet slip...I wonder why people keep comparing gambling to trading when the distinctions between them are numerous..a stop can be used at any point in the trade and it leaves your capital intact, cashouts drastically reduces your stake depending on the odd changes.
