People saying to never use the cash out option are absolute FOOLS!
I use an example for last night. I had $150 on Orlando money line before the game for -116 which would have paid out around $280. Orlando was up by nine points at the end of the third quarter and the books offered me a cash out option of $240. Something just didn't feel right and I took the cash out and as you know Orlando ended up losing in overtime. Now if I would have let that ride out, I would have been in a nasty ass mood for the rest of the night.
I don't know why people dislike the cash out options so much. For me personally, it's my best friend in the sports betting world and I use it quite often. Especially when your bet is losing and you just want to get what you can get out of it knowing that the ticket is a loss.
