So I had this bad experience where I played Real Madrid to win, arsenal to win and Juventus to win or draw and so the first game, been arsenal entered and then Real Madrid and Juventus started the same time and so I was following them up and I played the game NGN 5000 to win NGN32000. There was an extent I followed the game up I was angry the way Juventus was playing, once they equalize union giloise will score and it was annoying so at 90 minutes I cash out NGN 400 because I was so angry only for me to check back and saw 4:4 that was the most annoying part and I think if I would have gone to bed I wouldn't have cash out the game. So I think most times the only way to avoid this is by going to bed and forget about it but sometimes you need to stay up to monitor the game.

What do you guys think?

So, I think the problem here is not when you withdraw early or not withdraw, because there are situations when withdraw early is actually a good decision to guarantee a return before the risk increases further... but I think the main problem is that you abandon a previousli defined strategy and act with an impulse, letting yourself be carried away by a momentary emotion (in your case, anger). This usually leads to a tragic end result.

My opinion is this: if you have a clear strategy, stick with it until the end... stick to it and only change course if you truly have good intuition and a cool head to consider whether this is the best outcome at the moment and if it's wise to change your strategy... fear or frustration won't help you make a better decision... act coolly and calculatedly.

I think the key to achieving good results lies in emotional control... it is worth much more than any isolated "cash out."
