Ten common beginner mistakes

Most costly mistakes in this category are behavioural rather than technical, and all of them are avoidable.

The list

  • Depositing before deciding a maximum loss.
  • Chasing a loss with a larger stake.
  • Believing a colour or number is 'due' after a streak.
  • Paying for prediction signals.
  • Installing a file from a group chat.
  • Accepting a bonus without reading the wagering terms.
  • Using a password that is reused elsewhere.
  • Sharing a one-time code with 'support'.
  • Playing on a clone domain reached from an advert.
  • Treating a short winning run as evidence of a working method.

The single most useful habit

Decide in advance both how much and how long, write it down, and close the app when either is reached. Nothing else on this list matters as much.
