One clear goal: secure access, lower risk, better betting decisions
This article gives a compact, hands-on routine you can run every time you install the app, register, or log in. Follow the steps below to reduce account compromises, control losses, and make clearer bet choices without extra jargon.
Before you tap « Create account »
- Check device hygiene: install system updates, remove unused apps, and enable an app-lock or device PIN.
- Use a unique password from your other services. A short passphrase (three unrelated words plus a symbol) is easier to remember and safer than a reused complex string.
- Decide a bankroll that you can afford to lose this month; treat it like an entertainment budget, not an investment.
Create an account at Mystake and then complete the verification and protection steps below before placing your first bet.
Step-by-step secure login and verification
- Enable two-factor authentication (2FA) — use an authenticator app rather than SMS when possible.
- Verify identity promptly: upload required documents in clear, cropped photos. This prevents interruptions when you try withdrawals.
- Set a strong recovery email and a secondary contact method. Check that the site’s support channels are available in case of lockout.
- Log out on shared devices and clear browser data on public machines.
Bankroll rules that actually work
Many bettors fail because they treat wins and losses emotionally. Use these concrete rules:
- Unit sizing: divide your bankroll into 20–50 equal units. Typical stake per wager is 1–3 units depending on confidence.
- Loss limit: stop for the day at 5–10% of bankroll lost. Walk away and review, don’t chase losses.
- Profit lock: when profit reaches 10–20% of bankroll, withdraw a fixed portion or move it to a separate wallet.
Picking bets with a simple filter
Instead of dozens of markets, use a three-filter approach: value, knowledge, and liquidity.
| Filter | Question |
|---|---|
| Value | Does the odd imply a probability materially different from your estimate? |
| Knowledge | Do you have specific insight (injury, weather, lineup) that others might miss? |
| Liquidity | Is the stake size supported by market depth (avoids odds moving drastically)? |
Withdrawal and long-term safety
Confirm payout methods before large deposits. Keep KYC documents updated to prevent delayed withdrawals. Schedule periodic password refreshes and re-check 2FA devices after phone replacements.
Quick checklist (use this every session)
- Device secure? (OS updated, no public Wi‑Fi)
- 2FA active and recovery set?
- Bankroll and unit size decided?
- Have I applied the three filters to each bet?
- Stop-loss and profit-lock thresholds set?
Takeaway: prioritize account security first, then apply disciplined bankroll rules and a three-filter betting process. That combination reduces emotional mistakes and keeps withdrawal friction low—so your wins are actually yours.
