The
time for new year’s resolutions has come and gone. But this doesn’t mean there
isn’t still plenty of time to commit to any number of positive improvements for
the year ahead.
If
you’re a keen online gambler, there’s always something you can do to improve your enjoyment and your success
rates alike. Or at least, get out of one or two bad habits for the benefit of
your bankroll.
So if
you’d like to enjoy your best year in online gambling to date, here are 10
suggestions you might wish to consider for 2019:
1. Bring a little variety into the mix
First
up, everyone knows that variety is the spice of life. Hence, it’s worth making
2019 the year you finally get a little more adventurous with your gaming. Of course, this contradicts the advice that
you should stick to what you know and focus on the activities you both enjoy
and understand. Nevertheless, occasionally throwing something completely new
into the mix really can maximise the enjoyment of gambling online. If you’re
primarily an online casino gamer, why not give sports betting a shot? If you’re
all about poker, why not see how you fare at baccarat?
2. Start a gambling journal
If you
take your gambling seriously, you should consider a gambling journal mandatory.
The idea being that you keep a close eye on your wins and losses, gradually
building an invaluable resource to help guide your future decisions. It’s not the
most interesting activity at first, but you’ll soon get into the habit of writing
things down as they occur. Glance back at your journal from time to time and
you’ll find it much easier to keep things in perspective as you go.
3. Explore online casino bonuses
Online
casino bonuses are there for the taking, so why not take full advantage of
them? Just for the record, we’re not suggesting for one minute that every casino bonus out there is worth
bothering with. If the wagering requirements and general terms are too
excessive, you’d be better off avoiding them entirely. Nevertheless, you’ll occasionally come across
an outstanding deal that could help you get so much more for your money. It’s
simply a case of tracking them down and signing up!
4. Allocate time and money
Responsible
online gambling means taking responsibility
for how much time and money you invest in your activities. For 2019, therefore,
why not begin allocating yourself a specific amount of time and money each
week/month? Rather than simply letting
time slip away and spending far more than you intended to, it’s far better to
adopt a proactive approach. Think about how much time and money you can
realistically afford to spend on your online gambling activities, employing as
much willpower as necessary to stick to your guns.
5. Do some research
Whatever
your preferred online gambling activities, there are thousands of books,
journals and online tutorials you should probably be checking out. If you
intend to get the most out of your time spent online, it simply makes sense to
dig a little deeper and do some research. Ultimately, most casino games are
based purely on chance and there’s little you can do to affect the
outcome. Nevertheless, there’s always plenty you can do to ensure you make
logical decisions and avoid excessive losses.
6. Try a new online
casino
New
online casinos and sports betting sites are opening their doors at record-pace.
Why not take the time to see what they’ve got to offer? Standards vary
significantly from one operator to the next, but there are nonetheless some
outstanding newcomers to the scene that are more than worth checking out. Use
customer reviews and recommendations to weed-out the less desirable entities,
check out what’s on offer before signing up and give those introductory bonus
terms a good read.
7. Learn more about
casino licenses
General
online casino standards have never been higher, but not every operator plays by
the rules. In addition, the threat posed by shady criminals is growing by the
day and should be taken seriously. As such, it’s in your best interests to
learn more about casino licences and discover the benefits of working
exclusively with regulated gaming providers. Not to mention, do everything you
can to safeguard your personal information and minimise the likelihood of
falling victim to identity theft.
8. Allocate your winnings
Statistically,
there’s nothing you can do to guarantee you will win X amount of money in Y
amount of time. Even with all the
calculations and intuition in the world, you’ve still no idea when or where
you’ll strike it lucky. Nevertheless, there’s nothing to stop you dreaming of
what might be. Consider allocating your winnings ahead of time, perhaps
contributing towards something you’ve had your eye on. Every time you win £20
or more, for example, it could be added to a kitty to build towards a holiday you
know you deserve. This way, you’re far less likely to blow your winnings on the
kind of random crap you usually spend your spare money on!
9. Get yourself offline
Online
casinos and sports betting sites do a great job recreating the experience of
the real thing. Nevertheless, many would argue that there really is nothing
like the enjoyment of a real-life casino or a busy bookmaker. If it’s something
you’ve never experienced before, why not take the plunge in 2019? Even if it
turns out that the online alternative is your preferred option, you’ll have
lost nothing by finding out and could have gained a lot!
10. Get into live-dealer gaming
Last
but not least, live-dealer casino gaming is quickly taking over as the new standard
for discerning online gamers worldwide. Delivered by a decent operator,
live-dealer gaming effectively combines the benefits of online casino gaming
with the excitement, immersion and social interaction of the real thing.
Live-dealer gaming has come leaps and bounds in terms of both quality and
performance, so there really has never been a better time to check it out for
yourself.
