10 Dont's for a Gambler

[Philip74]

In my opinion there are certain things one should not do when gambling. This is a list of 10 dont's for a gambler:

1. Don't gamble if you are upset, angry, sleepy, drunk etc

2. Don't gamble more than 5% of your balance on 1 single bet

3. Don't do martingales, eventually they fail

4. Don't spend more than you can afford

5. Don't stick to the same game or same betting style. Mix it up as much as you can

6. Don't think an outcome is certain. Just because you got a 10 red streak, doesn't mean the 11th will be green

7. Don't bet large amounts on small payouts (e.g. chartbet 1.05x all in lol)

8. Don't gamble when you don't know the rules, chance of winning etc

9. Don't chase losses

10. Don't forget it is a game and to have fun

Do you agree with any of the above ? Do you have other dont's to add to the list ?

I strongly agree with the first one when ur angry you play like a twat and loose. The other ones apply only in some cases

[truemeng]

everything should just be in moderation

I totally agree.  and also it would be nice to take a step back for awhile in gambling. In that case you will not be tempt to depo. It’s really great to take a break sometimes.

I agree with you. especially on the item 9. People tend to lose more money because of trying to chase their losses.
