I was scrolling through instagram and I came across this story

This is a story of a poor man who played a sport betting game with little money but the potential win was big according to the story he was gifted an opportunity to cash in on a good amount that to his financial status is more than good for him but he decided not to and ended up with nothing.

First thing I do after placing a bet is see my potential win as not mine, those figures written as your potential win are dream money it’s never yours I don’t care if your last game is Real Madrid against a team in the fourth division of Iran’s league.
The imagination of already seeing your potential win as true can make one forget their financial status as it did to the man in the story.
Your financial status is more essential than your potential win in deciding if you should cash out or not.

You are right but what if the game entered would they have brought up this thread? The answer No and so sometimes it is not just about status because when we say someone is poor, it can be relative in the sense that the person can be poor in some areas while rich in some areas though I know greed is something we human being need to care of because it can cause a lot of things. And if the person is totally poor in all aspects and sees that kind of opportunity to cash out a good amount of money and refused to then he should be ready to face and bare the outcome of his action although it is always a very hard decision to make or take when someone played like 12-15 games in a ticket and it is just remaining one, cashing out knowing how big the potential is, don't use to be easy so I don't actually blame the person.
