Start here
Your bet is worth something right now.
Not just at the final whistle. While the game is still being played. Most people never find out what that number is, or when it’s at its best. That’s what we do, and this page explains it from the start. No jargon needed.
1. What cashing out means
Say you bet $50 on the Chiefs before kickoff. Normally you wait for the end and either win or lose.
Most sportsbooks give you a second option. At any point during the game they show you a number: take this much now, and the bet is settled. That’s cashing out. The button sits next to your bet in the app.
Your $50 on the Chiefs
- Before kickoff, cashing out returns about what you put in.
- Chiefs score twice in the first quarter. It might show $78.
- The other team answers twice. It might drop to $31.
- If the Chiefs lose, it was worth $0 all along.
The number moves all game. Nothing in the app tells you when it’s high.
2. Why the number moves
It follows one thing: how likely your team is to win from where the game stands now. A 7-point lead in the first quarter is worth much less than the same lead with four minutes left, because there’s more game to play. Score, time left, and who was favored to start. That’s the whole calculation. Your sportsbook is already doing this math. It just doesn’t share the answer.
3. What we do
- Before kickoff, we read the market. We take the odds from sportsbooks, remove the cut they build in, and get a fair estimate of each team’s chance to win.
- We lock it in public. The pick is saved before the game starts and can’t be edited afterward. Win or lose, it goes on the record.
- We watch the game. Our live model reprices it with every score.
- We email you when it matters. If a pick we published is now well ahead with the clock still running, you get one email while the cash-out is still worth looking at. That’s NFL, college football and the NBA for now; for the NHL, MLB and soccer you get a pre-game email with the day’s picks instead. You choose which sports at sign-up, and can change them any time.
What you do next is up to you. We’re not in the room when you decide.
4. What an alert looks like
Chiefs 88% · cash-out window open
We called the Chiefs at 73% before kickoff. They’re now 88% to win, with 8:14 left in the second quarter. If you took that pick, your sportsbook’s cash-out is likely well above where it started.
That’s it. No stake, no instruction. A position and a number, while you can still act on it.
5. What we’re not
CacheOut is not a sportsbook. We take no bets, hold no money and aren’t licensed to accept wagers anywhere.
- Not a tipster. We don’t tell you what to bet. We tell you where a pick we already published stands right now.
- Not a guarantee. These are probabilities. A pick at 80% should lose about one time in five, and it does. Most people who bet lose money over time.
- Not instant. Scores reach us from a data feed in batches, so an alert can land a minute or two behind the play.
