Very popular option at UK books.

Nice work Bovada

Clowns will be cashing out sure winners for 65% value

There is a big variation between the value of cashout offers at different books.

Although almost every time the bettor could get better value betting the other side to create the hedge themselves.

But still people LOVE this option. Receive regular complaints saying books take away the cash out option on them just as they want to use it. And none want to hear that its bad value.


Paddypower powered books offer decent cash out rates. Betstars powered books offer such ludicrously low cashouts that it feels almost criminal to me. Bet365 somewhere in middle.

[A4K]

I'm honestly shocked more books do NOT offer this. Basically free money from the fish.

Bet365 grades your bet as a winner and cashes you out when your team is up by 17 points for NFL and 5 runs in MLB and 3 goals in NHL only when you bet the ML

Ex.
If you bet Team A on the ML and they quickly go up 17-0
Boom thats a winner and the money will be in your account tegardless if Team B makes a come back and wins.

NJ and PA have had them since beginning

[Otters27]

There were a few time I wish had this opportunity

[funnyb25]

I thought this thread meant that Bovada actually cashes you out now via payout.

I know right

[PaperTrail07]

More option are ALWAYS nice

[PaperTrail07]

I'm surprised they don't offer index wagering as well

[jjgold]

I don’t think it’s actually a good proposition does anyone know the math on it

[PaperTrail07]

that's penetrating insanity

The only way you cash out/opt out a wager that is currently winning is if you're watching the game live and personally see a definite change in momentum and/or something drastic that has happened such as a key injury.

This is in no way like hedging a wager for profit.

[swordsandtequila]

Been many a soccer match I'd have liked this option

Bovada pays out.. I've never been stiffed.. Bitcoin payout option is fast with Bovada.

[PaperTrail07]

So this is not the same as where your 5/6 through a parlay and it gives you a cash out option? Rather than hedge the other side and leave a window for example...

Yeah that makes no sense at all.

Yeah, I had at 2 or 3 instances in baseball this season where I hit the over early, but was hit with a rain delay that eventually suspended the game before the minimum 8.5 innings for an O/U bet. Have to think this option will be off the table once the rain delay officially starts, but if u anticipate it will suspend the game, probably a good option to have.

The last time I remember someone betting on the weather, it was ENRON.

[mrpapageorgio]

Checked my account inbox and saw the message. Unless I'm misreading it, it looks like only ML wagers for football, not spread bets.

[goduke]

Then youlll just have to wait 3-5 months for your money.

[Easy-Rider 66]

Bovada sucks since the days of Bodog. If I had $$ in there would cash out and never go back.

[Poisec]

Yeah that makes no sense at all.

Well I heard about it before so that must be true, maybe not on all games though? It's just a favor they do to their customers, at the end of the day it doesn't cost them much anyway.

On topic, only good place to use Cash Out is Betfair as their is no additional margin.

Bovada paid me out same day every time I asked this spring which was quite a bit and was usually $xxxx. I was just using them to arb. They did limit pretty quick but no issues w/ payouts. I used to think the same thing because a couple years ago they were brutal with payouts but BTC payout was lightning fast all spring in my experience. YMMV

[krk1030]

Great option to have it if bet golf out rights

[hustledouble]

How often is taking, say, 65 cents on the dollar going to be a better decision than a straight hedge?

Yeah, Bovada's bitcoin payout has been fast this past year. 7 of my last 12 requests were completed same day. Longest has been 2 days (4 times).
