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.

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.

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.

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.

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..

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!

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.


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.

 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.

There are lots of mistakes most online gamblers are always making, but I will say some of this mistakes also applicable to offline gamblers also. Firstly since you can gamble at any where if you can just have access to your mobile phone, then you can gamble, most gamblers do gamble even when they are not suppose to gamble which make them get addicted to gambling easily. I have heard it before that some people gamble even when they are at work which is not really a good idea.

Since they can easily place bet at any moment, and at any place which they are, they do end up spending more on gambling, sometimes they do exceed the limit which they set for themselves and they will never stop gambling till the have nothing left.

1. Miscalculations in their bankroll and bets. Bad math. Not knowing that they can lose 3 times in a row they bet 30% of their money and find out they have nothing left to play with very fast.
2. Believing in beginners luck and all that. That they can't lose on a new account, that first bet after registering should be a win, that after 2 losses in a row the third one has to be a win, and so on. Basically lying to themselves.
3 Trying unknown casinos just because they offer a small bonus or something instead of starting on a well known, established site. They end up going into battes with these scam casinos from the start.

Well I can tell you that this particular situation isn't only tagged to newbies because almost all gamblers both veterans and newbie has the ability and possibility to exhibit such habit especially if the gambler sees it as a means of earning money but if you are free on the note that your habit is strictly for fun then you are probably covered.

It's not just beginners who are addicted to online gambling. Usually a beginner wants to try gambling, usually they see a friend around them win a fairly large bet. It could be this factor or their curiosity and want to try their luck like their friends. In my opinion, this is a fatal mistake, we should not expect more from there. It's best to gamble just for fun, what a beginner needs in gambling is that they have to control various aspects, namely their finances, emotions when playing. If they can't then they will lose a lot of money there.

In my opinion, the biggest mistake and newbie could commit within the context of gambling or choosing to gamble as their hobby is not to inform themselves about what gambling is about and how it is supposed to work. Let us face it, the first impression anyone new to gambling gets is how casinos and bookies could be used to get some money. It is something which even happened to me a long ago when I started to roll dices. When someone is that much disguised by the own false perceptions, then the accumulation of losses is just matter of time, whether the newbie would choose to chase those losses would depend on the further accumulation of debt and desperation.
Another common mistake I see many newbies commit is about how they choose their casinos and sport books, to begin gambling. They allow themselves to be guided by their favorite influencers in social media like Tik Tok, Twitter/X and even YouTube. The asume the influencer is giving a honest and full-heartes recommendation to them, ignoring there is some paid sponsorship behind the recommendation, That is how I assume most of newbies end up being scammed by shady bookies with little to no reputation.

Unfortunately, this is an ecosystem and passion which could lead to many mistakes and errors, let us learn from other's missteps, instead going through bad experiences by ourselves. 

You are viewing gambling comfortably as negative while it’s should be the proper way of playing gambling since you just wanted to be entertained when you gamble while being comfortable will help you to calm your mind and play properly.

The danger comes when the newbie is already agitated when gambling since he might bet recklessly just to chase losses which in this case user is not comfortably playing but rather intense playing in their house.

Playing in relax mode makes you think properly for a better decision making on your bets.

Beginner mistakes that often occur in gambling.
1. Join in gambling, without studying and asking those who are professional and experienced.
2. Greed, many beginners come to gambling without calculating their ambition to win a game that they actually don't understand what they are playing.
3. Beginners are often tempted and influenced by casinos that offer lots of bonuses and many beginners do not consider the reputation of the casino they visit and in the end of the story fraud occurs.

The three reasons for the mistakes above are common among beginners who gamble, perhaps there are many other reasons why beginners always experience problems when gambling.

My advice for beginners, before gambling, find out about the relevant gambling sites and ask people who are experienced in gambling, which gambling sites are good and which are not, then don't be greedy and learn about the risks that occur in gambling.

However, nowadays everything is online. we are given easy access to everything. but as a result, it will become increasingly difficult to control. that's what is the problem.
In terms of experience and knowledge, beginners in gambling are lacking. Most people start gambling because they are curious about friends' invitations or advertisements. starting gambling without knowledge is the worst. at least knowledge regarding the risks of gambling.

Gamblers who are not emotionally ready should not access gambling. It will only result in irresponsible gambling. it will be detrimental to gamblers and other people.

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.

One major mistake they make is being too comfortable gambling because they are gambling from the comfort of their homes and it is easily accessible. You know when you have your gadget with you all the time, all you need to do is go online, stake a little amount and gamble as much as you want because no one is watching and no one is going to judge you, gambling in secret becomes very easy. Gambling this way is very dangerous and it is the fastest ticket to addiction. The fact that online gambling platforms are easily accessible is a big trap already, newbies should not get too comfortable gambling online, rather they should gamble with care so they do not battle with issues later

They think this because beginners always win and then feel like it's going to last forever if they build a good strategy but the truth is that they win because they are newbies and don't know the game well, they play with pure luck. I think that you can't beat a mathematically built game with a strategy and that's where beginner gamblers make the biggest mistake. I believe that in order to beat the house, you have to follow pure luck.

Another big mistake that new gamblers make is that they don't do research to find a good and trustworthy casino, they just google casino and visit a random website, then they get scammed and come here to open threads in the scam accusation section. Most of the time new gamblers don't read the terms of service page too and then they are scared.

Gamblers also want to earn a living and a fortune by playing slots and other casino games. That can't happen, casinos were created to make money, not to give it away on every member. It's gambling, the luckiest wins and unlucky people lose, it's not a non-commercial organization.

Nowadays people now are seeing gambling as could be a source of income there's a lot of streamers right now promoting their different sponsored casino and we know how the social media is so powerful with that credited amount of the streamers they can now easily make a fake wins and losses but most of their promotion of course is wins as being paid, so people who doesn't have a really understanding with the online casino see a fake opportunity that they can earn like streamers does. Sooner or later because of their losses they want to make a revenge game or make more greedy game play.
