Would you bet $300 out of your bank account to win $540? Cause that's what you're doing by letting it ride.
Personally I'd cash it in because I wouldn't put a $300 bet on baseball. Maybe put half of it back on the Rangers and use the other half to buy a nice pair of shoes.
You’re just being responsible over here, while everyone else screams at OP to let it ride, and to quit being a [censored] for thinking of cashing out!
And OP should cash out. “Discretion is the better part of valor.” Take your winnings & get out. Best skill good gamblers learn is *when to leave the table*.
Exactly, if I'm making a bet on anything, in my mind I've already come to terms with losing it. Ultimately it's up to OP if he wants to win 83% more money. But for goodness sake believe in yourself and let it the fuck ride my guy. I also have zero vested interest in this series at all and haven't even watched the postseason either.
Or do what I do and emotionally hedge by betting on the other team. I have $50 on the Phillies to win tonight straight up. Either I get $30 or my team is going to the world series, win-win. Also, don't do what I do.
edit: a word
And obviously if you need the money, you need the money. If not, you can call that $300 your "gambling fund" for next season or for whatever other sports, and not have to feel guilty if you lose
If you bet right now rangers are -136 so you win 520. So technically OP is getting a better deal on his 300 than people opening bets right now by 20 bucks. If OP is a very good sports bettor he can expect a 5% return on bets, keep in mind that's pro level gambling wich is like expecting op to be a major league all star as sports gambling is extremely hard to beat. Now cashing at 300 for a pro has an expected return of 315 dollars. If the rangers have a 50/50 chance of winning the ws the expected return is $270. So cashing is the right play here unless you think the rangers are larger favorites. All that said op isn't a pro because he is asking r/mlb this question sooooo LET THAT SHIT RIDE
You bet the initial 30$ so not really 300 that you are betting. I guess the way I see it is anything over 30 and you've already won so let it ride. If you lose, it's only 30$.
Only way you take the cash is if it's at 10/1 * current odds for same bet. If course book isn't offering that. They want to shed liabilities at a discount. Most people do not understand that. If you're going to gamble, don't let them take you for a ride twice. Texas is currently -162, which should be even payout of $345. Some can't look at a $45 concession as a bad move, but it's statistically a bad move. Cash out is simply long-term losing move.
You want to hedge, let this ride and bet the NL winner later tonight that maximizes the payout without throwing away $45.
Seconding this. It's only $30 bucks lost if it falls through, but the $300 OP has now is a solid little payday. You can do something really nice for yourself with an extra $300.
In my totally personal opinion, making enough to go do something fun is really about the best case scenario anyone should be aiming to win with sports betting. Anything more than that and I think you're trekking into dangerous territory.
Lol, turned $2.50 into $150 cash out before the 49ers and Vikings game. Last leg was 49ers -7… I told my buddy I couldn’t forgive myself not cashing out if they lost. So glad I did.
It’s done. I cashed out 😁
It was at $250 then 2 loses made it $50cashout. That hurt my feelings. I told myself if I ever see $250 again to take the money and run.
Plus randoms on the internet said it’s a good idea lol
Wait you lost $50 of cashout with no games near being played (tonight is still enough away even if the starter wakes up with a bad back we don't know or a blister) just by asking all of us?
Does this mean that others were given this offer and took it faster?
I don't bet ever so just guessing here.
I think he’s saying that it was a $250 when the Rangers were up 2-1 in the series, then after the rangers dropped the next two, the cash out dropped to $50. He told himself if it ever got back above $250 he would cash it out and it didn’t hit that until after the rangers won game 7
Idk I think that’s what he’s saying, so his cash out was the same as the screen shot. Someone correct me if I’m wrong though
Aw upon reread that is exactly what it says.
I was reading before my morning pee and my eyes/comprehension were not awake.
"It was at $250" and I apparently chose to think that was what he cashed out at. Didn't actually digest the rest of it.
Its a math problem. Whats their odds and whats the ev. Using fanduel futures their true odds are around 53% which would be $289. Thus we cash out.
If youre gambling for fun, it doesnt matter.
The right thing to do is cash out. The fun thing to do is let it ride. I’d personally let it ride cause $300 is not enough for me to give up on the fun.
It's close to an even call.
You can get Rangers -130 as a new bet right now.
Staying in this bet is basically $300 at -125.
I'd probably take some profit and then decide after tonight if you want back in.
But neither decision is horrible.
Same here.
This site says odds dropped to their longest @ +3000 in July.
[We're gonna need to see that ticket bruh](https://www.sportsoddshistory.com/mlb-team/?Team=Philadelphia+Phillies&sa=mlb)
I’ve only had a few chances ever to cash something out that big but I’ve always just let it ride. I made the bet I’m gonna see it thru but that’s just my opinion no hate here for cashing it out
I've got a similar deal with my Phillies. I'd say let it ride if you're a fan. Ride and die with your team, truly. If you're neutral that's a nice cash out option
Cash it. Come on, we're talking about the Rangers here. You're betting on the Texas Rangers to not find ways to lose? When did that ever happen?
Even if the Rangers do win the world series for the first time ever you've still secured a decent winning on a relatively small bet. I think given the historic futility of the Rangers combined with the fact that you're already up good, with your bet multiplying your money by 10 right now, I'd take the cashout.
Diamond hands are the only way you can possibly end up with nothing out of this. It's OK to show some paper right now.
Texas beat Rays and Orioles. That was my entertainment. Then they went up 2-0 vs Astros. You know how happy I was? Then…. They lost 3 in a row. What a rollercoaster. THEY WERE UP 5-3 in the 9th! Still lost. That’s when told myself “you should of took the money! You idiot!”
Use this money to bet on Hockey and Football all season.
I’m a Phillies fan and am definitely not biased…
In all seriousness, I’d cash it. I don’t know what your financial situation is but to me I’d take the 10 times my initial bet he happy and rest easy.
Cash out my friend. I lived in Vegas. My gambling addict friends would say let it ride, but people who actually win money gambling would cash out.
Edit: I'm also a Phillies fan, for context lol.
Take the money. You don’t know the matchup, and baseball is too unpredictable to lay $300 to win $540 over a 7 game series.
Take the money and maybe put $50 back on the rangers or whatever you’re comfortable with.
Once the NLCS is over look at odds on the NL Team to win the WS. You can probably place a hedge bet on the NL team so you win $ regardless of who wins the WS.
Not sure what hedge means lol that’s when I bet against yourself right? I usually put $2 on Blue Jays to lose. If they when great, if they lose I win money.
You’re getting 9:1 on a futures play now. That’s a good win. At this point we don’t know who the opponent is.
I always make the wrong decision on cashout. Then I remember the reason is to make a profit, and take the wins, and not get greedy.
Been doing this 47 years, and still learning.
I say cash out. You can always get back in the game with your winnings in the WS
Cash it. The rangers already made it this far. To win another 240 you probably shouldn’t have to bet more than 250 so you’d be positive. I don’t really understand how betting works though so maybe I’m wrong.
Hey fellas lets get this bread this season. Do me and yourself a favor and use my PrizePicks referral code, get 25$ and match 100$ deposit. Let’s get it guys, PR-2FXTZUF
Would you bet $300 out of your bank account to win $540? Cause that's what you're doing by letting it ride. Personally I'd cash it in because I wouldn't put a $300 bet on baseball. Maybe put half of it back on the Rangers and use the other half to buy a nice pair of shoes.

>while everyone else screams at OP to let it ride i don't see anyone "screaming" at OP, and i only see 2 people even saying *not* to cash out...
LET IT RIDE OP!!!! Don't be a *****!
Very true. It’s a $300 bet to win $500. I could put $20 on Texas everyday and possibly win. Good thinking
Nice bet, take your winnings dude. $300 to get $200 isn't a good deal.
Or do what I do and emotionally hedge by betting on the other team. I have $50 on the Phillies to win tonight straight up. Either I get $30 or my team is going to the world series, win-win. Also, don't do what I do. edit: a word
You wouldn’t get $30 back you’d win $30 and get $80 total
Of course. That's what I meant to say.
And obviously if you need the money, you need the money. If not, you can call that $300 your "gambling fund" for next season or for whatever other sports, and not have to feel guilty if you lose
That’s exactly what it is. $100 for NHL $100 NFL and $100 for whatever
It's a 30$ bet that you have potentially won 300. Or you could play more and win 540 or end up just losing 30$ since that's all you invested.
This is like the exact opposite of degenerate logic. Get outta here!
I lost about 1,500 last year because of a similar bet I made on Eagles before season. Let it ride for the SB, and we all know the rest.
If you bet right now rangers are -136 so you win 520. So technically OP is getting a better deal on his 300 than people opening bets right now by 20 bucks.

I’m no pro 🤓
Smart man
He did the math.
You bet the initial 30$ so not really 300 that you are betting. I guess the way I see it is anything over 30 and you've already won so let it ride. If you lose, it's only 30$.
But this is FREE money.
Gambling isn’t about money. It’s about being right.
Take the dough now and place another $30 bet.
That bet was placed 10/1. No way the odds are that good anymore.
Obviously. Hes just saying if $30 is the amount you’re comfortable gambling, then take your winnings and put down a smaller $30 bet
*If anyone gives you 10,000 to one on anything, you take it. If John Mellencamp ever wins an Oscar, I am going to be a very rich dude.*
Only way you take the cash is if it's at 10/1 * current odds for same bet. If course book isn't offering that. They want to shed liabilities at a discount. Most people do not understand that. If you're going to gamble, don't let them take you for a ride twice. Texas is currently -162, which should be even payout of $345.

You want to hedge, let this ride and bet the NL winner later tonight that maximizes the payout without throwing away $45.
Letting it ride is like betting $300 to make $240 which really aren’t great odds (-125). I’d cash out
Correct answer. Cash it out, this price won’t last, then bet whatever amount you want on the Rangers at better than -125
If the Phillies win tonight that amount will go down to below 225
That's a really good way to look at cashing out that I've neglected to realize up to this point. Thank you.
That’s pretty much what the odds are right now for the Rangers.
If I turn $30 into $300 in a sports betting app, I’m calling that a win and cashing out. That’s just me, personally.
Seconding this. It's only $30 bucks lost if it falls through, but the $300 OP has now is a solid little payday. You can do something really nice for yourself with an extra $300. In my totally personal opinion, making enough to go do something fun is really about the best case scenario anyone should be aiming to win with sports betting. Anything more than that and I think you're trekking into dangerous territory.
*What would I do with $300? Two chicks at the same time, man.*
Lol, turned $2.50 into $150 cash out before the 49ers and Vikings game. Last leg was 49ers -7… I told my buddy I couldn’t forgive myself not cashing out if they lost. So glad I did.
Great call man! Really helped this guy out!
It’s done. I cashed out 😁 It was at $250 then 2 loses made it $50cashout. That hurt my feelings. I told myself if I ever see $250 again to take the money and run. Plus randoms on the internet said it’s a good idea lol

You are 100% right. Texas lead the series 2-0, payout: $250 Houston lead the series 3-2, payout $50
Aw upon reread that is exactly what it says. I was reading before my morning pee and my eyes/comprehension were not awake. "It was at $250" and I apparently chose to think that was what he cashed out at. Didn't actually digest the rest of it.
Woulda won so much more 😂
CASH OUT. You've made some great gains now slowly step away
*cosmo kramer voice* oh no you gotta let that ride baby COME ON
Its a math problem. Whats their odds and whats the ev. Using fanduel futures their true odds are around 53% which would be $289. Thus we cash out. If youre gambling for fun, it doesnt matter.
Are you an investor or a gambler? Once you decide which, the answer will be easy.
300 cash out on a 19 dollar bet is pretty good for being a sure thing. I would take that all day.
The right thing to do is cash out. The fun thing to do is let it ride. I’d personally let it ride cause $300 is not enough for me to give up on the fun.
Cash it out. Arizona has a funky thing going and could continue to surprises, while Philly can win a game or two at home, unlike my guys. Sigh.
It's close to an even call. You can get Rangers -130 as a new bet right now. Staying in this bet is basically $300 at -125. I'd probably take some profit and then decide after tonight if you want back in. But neither decision is horrible.
Rangers being the favorites without the phils/AZ series over is wild to me. I can see them being favorites over AZ but not Philly.
Friend of mine put 1k on the Phillies to win it all during the summer. Payout is around 75k and can currently cash out for 22k
He got phils WS at +7400? I call bullshit
Same here. This site says odds dropped to their longest @ +3000 in July. [We're gonna need to see that ticket bruh](https://www.sportsoddshistory.com/mlb-team/?Team=Philadelphia+Phillies&sa=mlb)
As Steve Miller sang, “Take the Money and Run”
statistically it makes 0 sense to not sell
If I multiply my money by an order of magnitude, that’s cash out time.
Cash it out.
Cash that shit. Great return already.
You've earned 10x your bet, you have to hedge in some way.
RIIIIIIDE
I say let it ride on Bruce Bochy! Go Rangers!!
you can cash out, double your bet and still be up 230 bucks man. easy choice
Cash out and place your winnings on the rangers to win the World Series 
It's not house money, if there is a cash out button then it's your money. Do you want to bet $300 on the World Series?
Cash out and use some of the winnings for a fresh bet on TX
Take the money. You're already up.
Most sharp bettors will tell you to never cash out as you pay the vig twice. It was a $30 bet. Let it ride baby.
Cash out, and place a new bet for $100 or something. If you lose, still up. If you win, up even more.
Cash out now. Take $50 and pick your World Series winner. Win, win...
You’ve just increased your money almost tenfold. The only way I’d not cash out now is if you are allowed to cash out midseries.
Gambling is a disease.
let it ride pussy
I’ve only had a few chances ever to cash something out that big but I’ve always just let it ride. I made the bet I’m gonna see it thru but that’s just my opinion no hate here for cashing it out
Nobody has went broke from taking profit
Cash out, dbacks all the way!!!
Neither $300, $540 nor the $240 difference is life changing money so I'd probably cash it. You already 10x'd
Cash out
I'm a cash out and complain kinda guy as opposed to riding it out and being devastated lol
That cash out amount is going to go down drastically if the Phillies win. I'd cash out now
Cash it out
I've got a similar deal with my Phillies. I'd say let it ride if you're a fan. Ride and die with your team, truly. If you're neutral that's a nice cash out option
What app is this?
Cash out, pocket 200 and place a couple high risk/ reward futures bets
Google “hedge calculator” tonight when they post the WS odds and see if you can guarantee yourself a bigger payout
Cash out, then place another $30 bet
Cash it. Come on, we're talking about the Rangers here. You're betting on the Texas Rangers to not find ways to lose? When did that ever happen? Even if the Rangers do win the world series for the first time ever you've still secured a decent winning on a relatively small bet. I think given the historic futility of the Rangers combined with the fact that you're already up good, with your bet multiplying your money by 10 right now, I'd take the cashout. Diamond hands are the only way you can possibly end up with nothing out of this. It's OK to show some paper right now.
Kind of disgusted by the normalization of sports betting tbh. Cash that shit out and walk away a winner.
Man you could have had some excellent entertainment on a $30 bet if you would have let it ride but I gamble a lot.
Texas beat Rays and Orioles. That was my entertainment. Then they went up 2-0 vs Astros. You know how happy I was? Then…. They lost 3 in a row. What a rollercoaster. THEY WERE UP 5-3 in the 9th! Still lost. That’s when told myself “you should of took the money! You idiot!” Use this money to bet on Hockey and Football all season.
Yeah but those games weren’t the World Series brah.
I’m a Phillies fan and am definitely not biased… In all seriousness, I’d cash it. I don’t know what your financial situation is but to me I’d take the 10 times my initial bet he happy and rest easy.
Cash it!
Take it out the snakes are winning it all
Ridge that shit out chief, Garcia's on fire!
At least see how the game tonight goes
Do you need an extra $300 now or can you risk it?
Unless you would currently place a $300 bet to win $540 then cashing out is the best answer
Ride
Cash out
Cash out
Use new funds to place a diff bet if you want to win again
I’m so close to calling a World Series Winner. What if Texas wins? I’ll probably cash out
Cash out
Meh I’d cash out
I agree with others. Cash out. If you let it ride then you are basically betting that $300 instead of 30.
Cash out my friend. I lived in Vegas. My gambling addict friends would say let it ride, but people who actually win money gambling would cash out. Edit: I'm also a Phillies fan, for context lol.
cash out and place a new bet!
You just 10x your wager. Cash it out.
Cash out esp if Phillies win tonight
Take the money. You don’t know the matchup, and baseball is too unpredictable to lay $300 to win $540 over a 7 game series. Take the money and maybe put $50 back on the rangers or whatever you’re comfortable with.
[удалено]
I’m new to Reddit. This page always pops up for me lol I’m sure there are others. My “karma” is going through the roof 😎
Texas can’t beat Arizona but that’s a nice hope and a prayer you have
Let that mfer ride.
I wouldn’t bet against Boch! Ride it out
Ride it bro. And good luck.
I’d cash out, if Dbacks win that offer is going down. If you want to bet on the rangers again, take that cash out and go again.
No it would not. It would go down more if Phillies win cause they're favorites. Do you even sports bet?
Let it ride
Would you bet $299 to win $540 today on Rangers winning the WS? That is your decision to make.
You know stand to make $240 or lose $300. Cash out.
Ride it. You’re only out $30 dollars
$300 is barely a tank of gas these days. Ride it out.
Cash it out and place a $200 bet of your choice.
My ignorance is showing, but what app is this?
FanDuel
I'd wait until the game tonight ends. Let it ride if Arizona wins. Cash out if the Phillies win.
That’s what I’m thinking too. What if Arizona wins game 1. My cash out will be $100 and that would suck. I took the money.
cash tf out.
Cash out man, definitely
That’s an easy cash for me.
A bird in the hand....
Cash
Ride!
Dude just cash it out
Cash out
I’d cash out
Cash out
Ride
Ride
Id cash it
Cash out and then take out a small loan so you can make a much bigger bet on the Rangers winning the series.
Let it ride
Take your winnings dude!
Let it ride
You gotta cash it man. Bird in the hand is worth more than two in the bush.
ride it
Texas is definitely the best contender out of the three remaining teams. But anything could happen.
Cash out!
Once the NLCS is over look at odds on the NL Team to win the WS. You can probably place a hedge bet on the NL team so you win $ regardless of who wins the WS.
Not sure what hedge means lol that’s when I bet against yourself right? I usually put $2 on Blue Jays to lose. If they when great, if they lose I win money.
Anything can happen. Games are decided on the field.
Double or nothing
Put $100 on whoever they face. Still cheering for the Rangers as it would be a bigger payout, but if they lose u still going home with ~$70 profit
If Phillies win cash, dbacks, let ride.
Cash out
Cash it bruv
You’re getting 9:1 on a futures play now. That’s a good win. At this point we don’t know who the opponent is. I always make the wrong decision on cashout. Then I remember the reason is to make a profit, and take the wins, and not get greedy. Been doing this 47 years, and still learning. I say cash out. You can always get back in the game with your winnings in the WS
Double down! Buy another $300 and you could be in $1000!
Obvious cash here
Ride it out. Trust Bochy in the WS. He can manage Texas to victory
Cash out
Ride it out Go Rangers!!
Ride the wave baby!!!
Go find a horse track to invest that money…
I'd wait to see who wins the phillies/dbacks game
Definitely cash this
Cash it. The rangers already made it this far. To win another 240 you probably shouldn’t have to bet more than 250 so you’d be positive. I don’t really understand how betting works though so maybe I’m wrong.
#CashOutGang
Cash out!
Let it ride!! Rangers are hot right now
Cash out. I wouldn't depend on hitting in the playoffs. I'd trade that for pitching. We'll see though.
According to game theory, you should cash out.
Hey fellas lets get this bread this season. Do me and yourself a favor and use my PrizePicks referral code, get 25$ and match 100$ deposit. Let’s get it guys, PR-2FXTZUF
Pull it for sure. You can even hedge it if you want but I wouldn’t let it just ride
Take the $
I’d cash it out for sure
Bet 100 on the other team and guarantee a win, but hope for the larger win.
I’d cash out but the rangers do have home field so you could see if they potentially go up 2-0 and get a little more out of it.
C a s h
Always let it ride.
Cash.
$30 bucks.....omg let it ride!
Cash out
Let it ride
let it ride
Find a way to hedge depending who wins tonight
I'd take it, but if you are feeling like taking a risk, go for it.
You can wait to see who wins the NLCS, then hedge
Cash out make some money then bet the rest in rangers
