Why do people even go for parlays if they’re planning to cash out later? I’ve seen a lot of threads about cash outs in sports betting, and most of the time it’s about parlays based on their experience.

What I’m trying to say is, we already know from the start that parlays are hard to win. But we still take the shot because we want that big payout from a small stake. Then suddenly, when a few legs hit and the remaining games look shaky, the bettor decides to hit cash out to secure a profit, even though it’s not the payout they were really aiming for. Isn’t that kind of stressful?

So again, why bother with a parlay if you’re just going to cash out early? Doesn’t that kinda show you’re not really in it for the challenge? I mean, if the parlay hits, that would’ve made your day. And if it loses, that’s fine too since you already knew the risk. But when you cash out and it still wins? That’s where the real regret kicks in.
