What is Cash Out?
A feature that lets you settle a bet before the event ends, for an offered sum based on current odds.
Definition
Cash out is an automated hedge offered by sportsbooks. Mid-event, the book calculates the implied current value of your bet and offers you a number to settle now. Convenient but expensive — books typically apply a 5-15% take on top of the fair hedge value. A manual hedge on an exchange almost always beats accepting cash out. Useful as an emotional release valve during volatile in-play swings, but mathematically suboptimal long-term.
Example
$100 on Argentina pre-match at 4.00, potential $400. Argentina up 1-0 at half. Cash out offered: $180. Fair hedge value via exchange: $210.
