We've all heard the myth that doubling up for losses is the key to recovering past losses. Nothing could be further from the truth! Never double your bets or chase losses, you will only end up losing more money. The problem with doubling up for losses is that you may end up risking $100 in order to recover $5. That doesn't sound like a very smart bet does it? Even if you end up winning a lot of your doubling bets, what happens when you lose one or two of them? You will surely have lost more money than you can possibly recover. So what should you do instead of doubling for losses? Here are three tips for maximizing your online casino profits.

Accept Losses

I hate losing money, but I don't hate it as much as losing even more money! If you lose one or two bets, don't worry too much about it. After all, such is the game of gambling. You can't win every single time you place a bet.

Vary Your Bets

Varying your bets is a great idea because it often allows you to maximize your profits, and minimize your losses. Often you will increase your bet and win even more money. You can also save money because by ...
... varying your bets to a lesser amount, you end up losing less money.

Bet Higher For Wins And Lower for Losses

It is not uncommon for the average gambler to experience many large winning or losing streaks. In order to maximize your wins, I advise doubling your bet if you win two times in a row. If you lose two times in a row, then half your bet. In this way, if you experience 5 wins in a row, you will extract the most from your profits. Similarly for long losing streaks, you won't be quite as damaging if your bets have been halved.
