What cash out actually does
Cash out lets you settle a bet before all the matches on it have finished. The offer moves as legs settle.
Here is the exchange you are making. You accept less money in return for certainty.
On paper, holding was the higher-value play. Probability describes the average, not the individual game.

Reading the situation
The correct answer depends on your situation, not on expected value. Twelve million naira is life-changing money for most Nigerians. Optimal play across a thousand identical bets is irrelevant when you will only face this once.
Do not cash out habitually. Cashing out a ₦3,000 return to protect against losing ₦500 is where the feature starts costing you money.
Count what is still outstanding. One leg left with eighteen won is a very different situation from ten legs left with nine won.
