If you play it, you probably think you're going to hit it,
and if you think you're going to hit it, you have to
let it ride.
Still... it was a real nice score.

know thyself. i do as the punter did. in all 23 orbits of participation in this great game, there's only been one, one with a near 100 percent chance to finish first. v likely ones lose all the time. easy to say w keyboard courage, of course you 'let it ride.' in the moment this player cashes out.

I lost many a nice wager on the final leg. For 60k in hand I definitely would have cashed out.

I probably would have taken a few minutes to see if I could make some decent hedges. Still, the cash out would have been very tempting. If I did cash out, I would have at the least bet the choice in the final leg to win which is itself a minor hedge against having made the wrong decision.

So if I don't cash out I am basically betting 50k at 7-1 on horse that is otherwise paying 2 to 1? The value is there if you come across these often enough, but...
Auto cash out for me. Maybe if I've had a few giant scores I'd be more willing to let it roll.
Of course I'd want to put 10K in the win pool to reduce the woulda coulda shoulda, but would my funds even be there to bet with, and would that pool even be able to absorb an extra $10K? These are good problems to have.
