How early settlement of a bet works and what it costs.
Cash out lets you close a bet before the event ends, taking the current settlement value — which depends on how the odds have moved since you bet. It is a risk-management tool: you can lock in part of a profit or cut a loss. But you pay for the flexibility: the offered amount is usually slightly worse than "fair", as it includes extra margin. Use cash out deliberately, not impulsively.
