In many T20 cricket matches, in about 40% of cases, the betting operator offers a cash out option at least at one stage of the innings. At 1win, this feature allows the player to lock in part of their profit or limit their losses before the end of the match. When betting on cricket in Bangladesh even for Pittsburgh Steelers fans, it is important to understand when and how cash out works so as not to miss the moment and minimize risk.

What is Cash Out and Why is It Needed?
Cash out at 1win is the opportunity to receive a payout before the end of the match by closing the bet early. This can be a full cash out (closing the entire bet) or a partial cash out (withdrawing part of the bet). The main goal is to protect profits or limit losses if the course of the game has changed.
In cricket, where events unfold quickly (runs, wickets, formation changes), cash out is especially useful: if your bet is already bringing in a significant profit and there are urgent risks in the air (for example, a series of run outs), you can cash out early.
1win determines the cashout amount dynamically: it depends on the current score, remaining overs, the state of the team and the probability of the outcome. This amount may be less than the initial prediction, especially if the odds have gone against you.
How Exactly Does 1win Calculate the Cash Out?
In this chapter, we will examine the internal mechanism of calculating cash out and the factors that influence it.
When you bet on a cricket match at 1 win, the system records your outcome (e.g., "Team A will win") and the odds. During live betting, when the match is in progress, 1win recalculates the current probability of the outcome (implied odds) based on the progress of the game. Cash out = bet × (current odds – margin), taking into account the risk.
The cash-out amount is influenced by:
how much time is left (over until the end)
the current situation (gap, advantage, pressure)
missing events (how many wickets remain, how many runs are needed)
the volatility of match scenarios (e.g. a strong line-up of bettors, known instability of the stage)
The full cash-out function may disappear at critical moments if the probability is too skewed, and 1win will disable the option to prevent "arbitrage" situations.
When is It Advantageous to Use Cash Out?
Let's discuss situations in which cash out is particularly appropriate:
Firstly, during a series of consecutive wickets. If you bet on a team and 2-3 wickets fall in a row, the atmosphere of tension grows. The cash out offer can be profitable, especially if the remaining overs are unpredictable.
Secondly, when the match is "turning" in the other direction: the opponent starts to attack powerfully, and the pace increases sharply. In such cases, it is better to lock in some of your profits.
Thirdly, towards the end: when there are 2-3 overs left and your team is still in the lead, but there is a risk of many runs or brevets.
Example 1: BPL match, bet on Team A to win. In over 15 of 20, Team A is leading, the opponent needs to score 25 runs in 5 overs — there is still a chance. 1win offers a cash out +25% on your bet. You lock in your profit, even though there is still a chance.
Example 2: you bet on the total "Over 160" in T20. In the middle of the game, the total runs are already 100, and there are 6 overs left. The risk is high: if the pace slows down, the "Over 160" bet will not work. Cash out offers to close the position, and you take less than the potential plus, but above zero.
Example 3 (unsuccessful): you ignore the cash out, believing that the match will end as planned. But in the final overs, the team concedes 3 wickets in a row, and the bet fails. In this case, strict control of the cash out could have saved part of the capital.
Practical Limitations and Pitfalls
In this chapter, I will describe specific limitations that should be taken into account when cashing out at 1win Bangladesh.
Firstly, limits. 1win may limit the maximum cash-out amount in certain markets, especially in live and cricket matches. If your bet is large, the cash-out offer may be reduced.
Secondly, calculation time and delay. Between the moment the system offers a cash out and when you click, the odds may already have shifted, and the amount may change within seconds.
Thirdly, the lack of cash out on "exotic" markets — 1 win often disables this feature on micro-markets (e.g. "next wicket", "runs in over").
And finally, the platform's margin: even if the match is going in your favor, the cash out will be provided taking into account the margin and potential profit of the platform, and the amount will be lower than the "ideal" value.

Cash-Out Scenarios Using Examples from Bangladesh Matches
Let's look at specific cases from the BPL and local matches to illustrate how cash out works on 1win.
Scenario A: BPL match Dhaka vs Chittagong. You bet on the Dhaka team, the match is underway. After 10 overs, Dhaka is leading confidently: 85/2. Before your eyes, the opponent began to lose wickets. 1 win offered a cashout of 1.4× the bet. You lock in part of your winnings, even though the chance of a full win is still high.
Scenario B: Bangladesh vs Sri Lanka national team match, bet on Over 170. When 112 runs are scored in 12 overs, a cash out offer is made — slightly more than your bet. But in the next 4 overs, the pace slows down, and you keep your profit thanks to your early exit.
Scenario C (negative example): you ignore the cash out offer in the BPL match, continuing to believe that the "Team A to win" bet will last until the end. But in the final overs, your opponent makes an impossible comeback. You lose your entire bet, even though cashing out in the middle could have saved part of it.
