What are the biggest mistakes made by beginners in online gambling? How can they

[CryptoHeadlineNews]

Some of the mistakes beginners make while gambling is what I will be explaining below

1). Choosing the wrong casino: This is one mistake most gambling make by failing victim to scam or phishing casinos (i.e 1xbet), and as such, end up losing their money after luckily winning a bet and then the casino fail/refuse to process your withdrawal, but always willing to accept your deposit. And the difference between these scam & real casinos are always in a slight alteration in it's URL (i.e www.stake.com & www.stake.org or net) where one happens to be the real and the other fake

How then should a beginner choose the right casino. Even on this forum, 1xbet was advertise and other casinos that users have complained of scamming them. I think that choose a right casino is to ask the right questions to the right people. The right person to ask is an experienced gambler.

Yes, it's true that 1xbet was once legit and now unreliable after series of online scam/complaints, but yet that doesn't mean we don't have casinos who have been in the business for the past 10 years and still offering reliable service, which is why I think one of the mistake newbies make is failing to seek casino suggestion from already existing gamblers, rather than diving into any casino seen advertised online by themselves. So, the answer to your question about "How then should a beginner choose the right casino?" Then the answer is for newbies to always do their own intensive research, before venturing into gambling on any casino. Because thou casinos may change overnight, no it's very hard for a casino who has been reputable for more than 5 to 10yrs to run away with people's money.

2). Not having a gambling budget: This has been one big major problem affecting lots of gamblers globally, where they fail to plan how much they will gamble either daily, weekly or monthly, and due to failure of this, they end up spending much on gambling far above what they ought to have spent.

Some gamblers have their gambling budget in their head, some wrote it at the back of their bet slip all of which are susceptible to loss and damages. I think the right thing to do is to keep track of the gambling expenses on a excel spreadsheet. I am using excel because it is the simplest to assess. At the end of 3 months the beginner can return to the sheets and know how much has been spent and how much profit they made form gambling.

Yes, it's true that keeping track on gambling helps you to know how much you may have spent, lost and won, but yet if you don't have a specific budget you are willing to gamble with per month,  you will notice that for example,  assume a man who is earning $10,000 monthly, you will notice that if such individual do not specify how much he/she is willing to gamble with, you will not that such person may even end up gambling either half of his salary (i.e $5,000)  or even above before the month ends. But you will notice that if he had have a budget how much he is willing to gamble with, he is likely to have gamble either below or exactly the amount.

What are the biggest mistakes made by beginners in online gambling? How can they be avoided?

In fact, there are many mistakes made by novice gambling players, including;
- making deposits on new gambling sites
- make a deposit without first reading the TOS
- playing gambling without preparing a good time
- think online gambling is a side income
- thinking that more than two accounts will make their chances of winning great
These are some of the mistakes that new gamblers often make when they play online gambling at the beginning, maybe there are some that can add or subtract some of them!

What are the biggest mistakes made by beginners in online gambling? How can they be avoided?

I think you would have gotten way better answers if you had asked this question on Google, for I believe that through Google, you possibly would have found a lot of people's stories on their biggest gambling mistakes and so on and on.
Because I believe that if there were really anyone here who had made such as said mistake while they were still very new to gambling, they will be a very few/limited numbers, and close to non will even have the courage to post about it here.

But anyways, on the more general term, I believe one of the biggest mistakes some gamblers make while they are still very young in this industry; is to believe that gambling will bring in quick wealth without any form of challenges, some also make the mistake of trusting too much in a game, which often times lead them into betting amounts way higher than what they can afford to lose, and for those who are yet to learn to control themselves, this usually sometimes become the beginning of gambling addiction..

One of the mistakes I think most online gambling beginners make is seeing gambling as a means of survival or invest plan, most people are not aware that gambling involves lots of risk and such shouldn't be taken as an investment plan since it involves more of luck and skills, gambling should be seen as a means of fun and entertainment even though several individuals have made profits from it, it's not an would never be a investment plan.

 Another thing is chasing loses, the best thing to do when you lose money in gambling as an individual is to pause for a while or restrategise. When you chase loses as a gambler you might end up losing more funds, money you didn't even budget for and before you realise it you've lost everything and might start looking for dubious alternatives to recover your lost funds. That's why it's good to make budgets before you go into gambling.

Many people around me even quit their day jobs to become a poker star, having watched enough videos on the Internet about professionals who beat other players and thanks to this they became rich. Well, you need to open your eyes and not think that it is very simple. In poker, money is very difficult, I tried and studied poker for a very long time. It simply requires titanic work, and those who manage to earn money in poker for many years fully deserve it. So I wanted to mention these cases and warn beginners that this should not be done under any circumstances. As an exception, if you only take a few individual lessons from professionals, but before that, play at least a year in an active game, and this with a lot of free time and a large supply of money for a bankroll and an unsuccessful game in the first stages.

Probably gambling with big money right away and having high hopes from the start. Never think of what you will do with the win and how you'll spend it before the bet is resolved. Those who build themselves up too much before the game fall much harder, sometimes into depression.
Other than that, I'd say betting money on a new game or a game you've never tried before without testing it first, or watching others play. You don't jump into the water head first.

Personally, some of my mistakes are not setting my desired betting amount, sending fund to wrong wallt address, betting and losing an amount equivalent to my whole month salary, and engaging with some unknown gambling platforms because of their unrealistic offers turning to a scam. Mistakes for sure comes in many forms but in the first place it won't be called a mistake if you did not regret such thing to happen. It is a norma thing to experience making one inside and outside gambling industry. Necessary I guess to one's growth and what matters is that you learn from it and to avoid its occurence afterwards. It'll just be a shared laughter knowing that other people have made the same mistake as you did.
You can name as much as you want but it will all boil down to the idea of stoppage.

The mistake was the easy one by the gamblers,most of the mistake was happen because of the careless betting.The analysis of the previous betting help the gamblers where they should not inverse their money.The gamblers who bet like you with the monthly expenses will suffer at the end.Because the money from salary should be used 20-30% of the salary amount.Every month we had the personal commitments.So the experienced gamblers use the option of using maximum of 40% of their income into the gambling.

Because gambling was the game for our entertainment,but the real life won’t able to run without money.If you have kids and married person,it was essential for you to feed your family members without fail.The milk itself needed one for your children as the daily food apart from the usual food till their age of 6-7 years.If you had loss full money in gambling how you will do balance the money for food and milk for the children.

In addition to what you have said, there is this thing call overconfidence, it kills faster than anything because I have learned that in gambling, there is nothing such like having confidence in any game. This is not a hear say but a personal experience I learnt from sport betting. There was this games I selected, they were basketball and this games are the lowest they could ever got and played them, all teams turned out as I expected but this Toronto team just wanted everything for me, ever since then I don't put much confidence in some of this teams even if they are too good.

Furthermore, don't forget to prepare for the worst and also hope for the best, the game you least expect to give you good return might actually turn well for you and the game you have high hopes on will disappoint you and this is why I still insist on that leave over overconfidence at home when you want to bet on any games because you will be humble.

In fact, there are many mistakes made by novice gambling players, including;
- making deposits on new gambling sites
- make a deposit without first reading the TOS

Putting money into a new gambling site is not always a bad idea because even reputable casinos started one day. Some new casinos have grown to become reliable and popular in the casino business space, so it might be wrong to generalise that betting in new casinos I wrong. However, this should be done with care and don't also make huge deposits.

Most new gamblers are attracted to a casino because of enticing bonuses, so they don't care about reading the terms of service. Maybe after a win, they might face some restrictions which are covered by the document they failed to read.

Some gamblers erroneously use their casino account as a bank account where they keep large funds. They don't withdraw their wins but keep saving the money in the casino. Casinos are not designed to serve as banks and it is also risky to leave large funds there since it is a centralized platform.

What are the biggest mistakes made by beginners in online gambling? How can they be avoided?

I can only tell what my biggest mistakes were that i made, that i have learned from:

1. Have a budget and never go over that ever.
2. There's no trick or a system in slot or crash or any house games except maybe blackjack. Every single trick you found can be filed under "gambler's fallacy", that you should read about. Wikipedia is a good source. If you think you have found something, be assured that casinos have thought about those too. When you are betting against house edge, you are betting against probability. It's a mathematical proof for casinos to make profit. You can't beat that. This is why casinos don't need to rig their games. They have math on their side.
3. There are no patterns you can find from slots. Even if there would be, they would be so complex that no human could see or predict them.
4. Don't blame anyone but yourself on losses. It's your money you decided to risk.
5. Seriously nr 1 is the most important rule, if you can't hold that you might not want to gamble.

What are the biggest mistakes made by beginners in online gambling? How can they be avoided?

The biggest mistake is being greedy without a doubt, gambling is supposed to be a form of entertainment, but many newbies inspired by what they see on social media with influencers getting huge wins very often, think they can imitate their results, so armed with a flawed strategy and their life savings they decide to challenge casinos openly, and as you can easily imagine, casinos are the ones that end up beating them, and then they claim they were scammed, when it was their greed that caused their demise.

Well right, the main mistake that beginners usually make is to put their hopes on winning from the start of the engagement or from the start they run the session by thinking or assuming that they will use the winning money for things they want like shopping or buying whatever it is while on the other hand if we talk about gambling then obviously you can never get any certainty or guarantee or that means you can never know what will happen at the end of the session before you finish the gambling session, as you said that in the end they will fall worse, or that means when you put too much hope in winning at the end of the session then usually that mindset will only make you feel more disappointed or even stressed at the end of the session when it turns out that what you expected did not happen.

On the other hand I wouldn't mind too much if you choose some new games that you've never tried if it's a type of gambling that relies purely on luck because your ignorance doesn't mean that you will lose at the end of the session, meaning that if for example you are lucky then you can also win, but it doesn't hurt to test the depth of the water before you try it by first watching other people play, because this can also be useful to inform you about how to play there regardless of the results of winning or losing.

Most of the time, another way some of the newbie gamblers get involved in gambling without looking at other things is the way they is the way they are the way most of these online influencers promote these casinos without any form of warning to the public about the risk or not reading the terms and conditions, they just show the positive part of how to make winnings and convince them that it's that easy, which they can just use that same energy to rush if they can make out some of their own winnings too, but instead they fall right under the trap of those casinos.

As greed is part of human nature, it is up to the person how he will behave towards his games. Most of the time, players need their own lessons to alter their gambling lifestyle. Most beginners have a different approach as they feel they can conquer their games and go home as winners. But sooner or later, they will come to the conclusion that no matter how they try, they won't achieve their targets.

Perhaps the biggest mistake that beginners make in gambling is that they lack risk management - they tend to gamble according to their wishes and don't care whether their money is sufficient or not. This lack of risk management makes them gamble without knowing limits, chase losses too aggressively, and become emotional, which affects their financial condition. Beginners can avoid this by learning to manage their money and as much as possible to regulate their emotions, so that it does not affect their psychology to gamble continuously and make gambling activities something that is detrimental to them.

Yups because they are still beginners and don't know about the risk management they will face after they enter gambling, a beginner who doesn't know about risk management will mostly experience losses before they start learning to learn what risks they are facing, the problem is they are using their money for games that are not certain to win or lose and they tend not to be careful in betting, it could be that they are just careless in placing their bets and don't know how to use it if they experience a loss. This can be a lesson for beginners to always be careful heart when gambling and thinking that gambling cannot make it better.

As I said before, beginners must be able to manage their money so as not to use all of it to gamble, especially for those who are beginners and don't know how gambling works. Gambling can cause emotions if you experienced losses, but for those who are used to gambling, they will get used to it, but for beginners, they will find it difficult to accept it and will try to chase it this is the wrong step and should be avoided for beginner and other gamblers.

You have correctly listed these two basic rules, and with your permission, I will add a couple of thoughts on my own:
In fact, if someone wants to make a profit from gambling, they must know the basics of mathematics well, because gambling is always mathematics.
Gambler need to know how to understand Distances, Probabilities, and Coefficients. In poker specifically, you generally need to be an excellent mathematician to succeed.

Self-control is also very difficult in terms of the ability to say the word STOP to yourself. You need to have a strong character, because gambling is very addictive, because this game can change your life at any moment. And every gambler remembers this. And it's terrible and cool at the same time.

There are gambling games that are like that. We may not end up on profits if we are unlucky but at least, we can prevent our selves from losing a lot of money if we know how they work. Apart from Mathematics, Poker game also involves personal abilities like on how you present your self on the table.

It may seem hard but once we master all the techniques, it is also worth it. A lot of people advice that one must not try gambling because it might only destroy their lives. I wouldn't say they are over acting or bitter for one's interest but it's true, while if we think we have that strong character you are saying, we can prove it to those people.

Everyone has different experiences and of course the answer to this question can vary depending on how someone views gambling. I personally think the biggest mistake for beginners is thinking that the casino can give you a lot of money that will change your life. They think the jackpot can be easily won because there are several people/influencers they have seen who have won the jackpot. This is wrong thinking. Thinking like that makes you lose more money.
I think there is no way to avoid it because this is a normal situation that novice gamblers will experience. Unless you are a senior gambler. Or you are not interested in gambling.

Well to make an analogy I think everyone will agree that when we start a new job,we are the newbie and we tend to make mistakes,I remember when starting out as a network admin and at my first day of work,I wanted to show off my skills and made all the enterprise go offline by implementing a wrong access list,all enterprise network went down and no one could access the internet.The same can be said about newbies in gambling,they want to show everyone that they know their thing and as such want to make winning bets yet you simply can't do it for a consistent amount of time if you are a newbie without experience.

[redsun114]

The biggest mistake beginners make in online gambling is that they don't learn first about the sites they use, there are fraudulent gambling sites and there are trusted online gambling sites. Of course, by studying first they won't be easily fooled by scam sites

That is a mistake newbies make, no doubt, but I don't think this can be called the biggest mistake because the biggest mistake should cause someone a lot of make them suffer from a bigger trauma than losing some money that they have deposited in a scam casino platform.

I would say that the biggest mistake of a newbie is not to stop when the time is right, whether they are winning or losing because the overall outcome of your gambling activities depends on a single decision. If you stop gambling when you are ahead of the house and have won something on top of your bankroll, you will have more money for your next gambling session or you can use it for something else. Similarly, if you stop gambling when you are at a loss, you will save yourself from excessive losses. Deciding to gamble more in both scenarios is the biggest mistake, in my opinion.

[SickDayIn]

1. Not setting rules to adhere to before getting involved, i.e. a limit of betting, or bankroll they are willing to lose..
2. Trying to use strategies like martingale, where if they lose they just keep doubling their bet. After 5-10 sequential losses your entire bankroll will be decimated. Even starting at a small $5 bet, doubling 10 times is a bet of $5120.
3. Not evaluating their reason for gambling. If it is for entertainment purposes only, you are in a sound state of mind and are not chasing an adrenaline rush to mask other underlying issues, then sure it's okay, but not many people fit into this category.

Seeing online influencers while they are gambling is one of the things that makes beginners gamble. They don't learn what needs to be prepared before they start gambling and many beginners don't do it.
They just immediately register at the casino and start depositing a minimum amount of money but they don't try to see what they need before starting to gamble. They want to win like those influencers they see and it is with their first deposit that they try their hand at winning.
They will get deeper into gambling without being able to see that gambling is just entertainment. They deposit more and more money which can make them addicted to gambling. If they are addicted to gambling, it will be difficult to cure it and they will not even realize it.
