I'd cash out as I'd be just as happy with £1300 and Leicester winning the title, could always stick a couple of hundred back on them to win also

Yep, I'd be tempted with the partial cash out option really - he should cash out enough to pay off his debts and just keep the rest on the bet. He might win another thousand or so.
Tough call, as the cash-out really doesn't seem very generous (but then, why would it -bookies aren't mugs).
I think I'd take the risk of waiting until after the Arsenal game this weekend. Win THAT, and his cash out will near double, I guess.

Cash out. I suspect as crunch time nears, they will do a Newcastle. Would be good if they didn't though

If I were him then I would cash out.
He is effectively making huge bets on each of their remaining games that he obviously doesn't want to.

Cash out about 3.50 of the original stake, should be about a grand, and keep 1.50 in there, if they win the league still pick up another £1500, if not the wedding etc.. is paid for.
If Leicester get beat by Arsenal at the weekend, and spurs continue their form by beating City, the cash out value will fall a fair bit I would guess.

Yes and any other result and it will reduce by way more than half!
If they get even a draw, then you would expect them to win the next 4/5 games. As they are against struggling teams(including us). How much would it drop roughly if they lost to Arsenal?
The guy said it was £500 before the Man City game, so I guess it would drop to about £750?
To be honest my post written above was written with someone else's money. If it were actually mine I'd probably bottle it, and cash out right now.

Don't wait for me!
I think I would wait for the Arsenal game and maybe bottle it after that if they lost. Then again its easy until your in that position.

I'd be going for Option C: Not Yet
Next 5 games; Arsenal, Norwich, W Brom, Watford & Newcastle.
10-12 points wouldn't be too much an ask for Leicester at the moment.
Keep going until then, when the cash-out option raises to £2,250.
Take out £2k and put the remaining £250 to win the title.

I would stay in at least for a few more weeks. They have an easy(ish) run coming up that could see them take near to full points.
I also have a rule whereby I will never cash out for less than half the winnings.
That said, these are my views now, I know the guys pain as I was in a shed load of debt until the end of last year and I know just how much that money could help. The question to ask himself - If he took £1,300 how much would he fully pay toward his debt? With most gamblers I think there will be a case of wanting to enjoy some of the winnings. If he thinks he could say spend £300 and then pay off some debt with £1,000 then I would take it. The upset of cutting a debt in half (or quarter) when it could have been fully paid will be a lot easier to take than getting nothing or settling for £50 if they go on a bad run.
