1. Playing Every Match
This is the most common mistake fantasy players make. In the attempt to earn as much as possible, they tend to play every match, regardless of whether they have any knowledge about that match or not. They either:
- Create a team on their own without any knowledge of the match and the players; or
- Follow someone’s team blindly.
Most of the time, they end up losing their money.
Playing without proper research is a key reason why people end up losing. So, be sure to undertake proper research about the players, tournament, ground, records and conditions before playing any match. In the end, you want to make sure you’re fully confident about your team.
CricBlog’s Match Previews can certainly help, with key players and stats included in every preview.
2. Going All In at Once
After winning one or two matches, many players then invest all their winnings in a single match. This is very risky and never recommended.
One should keep in mind that no one can win every match, every day. So, if you have invested all your winnings in a single match, you will most probably lose all your money in a snap, and there’s nothing you can do except regret your decision
It is recommended that you fix an amount from your capital and invest only that much whether you win or lose. This way, by making an investment plan, you can avoid losing unnecessarily and it will be very beneficial in the long run.
And still, if you’re not able to control yourself, there’s a suspend account option in Dream11, whereby one can suspend their account for a certain period of time. So. use this feature when you win 2-3 games continuously to save your money. After all, “a penny saved is a penny earned”.
3. Playing Only for the Money
If you’re playing fantasy sports just to earn money, then I recommend you immediately stop playing and never play again as this is not the right place for someone with that mindset. One should play fantasy sports passionately for fun as a fan of the game they love, not as a career option.
It’s very unpredictable and one can lose all their earnings in a blink of an eye. It is advised that one should invest only that much which you can afford, as it’s impossible to win every time. It’s a place to showcase your skills and knowledge about your favorite sport.
So, these are three mistakes one should avoid on Dream11 or any other fantasy platform, to become a good fantasy player in the long run.
