Best tips for someone just starting out
-
Hey everyone
I’m starting this thread for anyone who's just getting into sports betting, especially here on 1win. Whether you're here for the thrill, trying to make some extra cash, or just curious welcome!
Betting can be exciting, but also overwhelming at first. There’s a lot to learn: odds, bankroll management, picking the right bets, and avoiding those rookie mistakes (we’ve all made them
).
So let’s help out the newcomers!
What’s one thing you wish you knew when you started?
What common traps should beginners avoid?
Are there any basic strategies or habits that helped you win more (or lose less)?
How do you stay disciplined when emotions kick in?
Whether you’re new and looking for advice, or experienced and want to share some wisdom — drop your thoughts below
Let’s make this thread a go-to guide for beginners on 1win

Take it slow is the best advice ever, don't rush and get too emotional anddd remember it's first of all a game
-
Don't listen to people who offer some strategies or claim that know how to win a casino lol
