When new gamblers are learning how to calculate odds and bet, some common errors crop up. Here are a few:
Misunderstanding what the odds actually mean. The numbers represent chances of winning, not guaranteed wins.
Focusing too much on single numbers instead of groups with better odds. For roulette, 1-18 has lower house edge than picking one number.
Not factoring in 0 and 00 for roulette. This sharply drops your real chances of winning.
Failure to look at true chances, not just payout odds. A 3:1 payout means you're still likely to lose most times.
Going all in on gut feelings. Emotions instead of math will cost you more in the long run.
Hope these tips helps you calculate odds better and win more! Feel free to share any mistakes you've made and how you overcame them in the comments.
