It doesn’t have to be December to feel a chill run down your spine. Casino bettors know that with every hot streak, there is a subsequent cold skid just waiting to strike. We’re aren’t going to pretend they don’t happen but what we are going to do is give you some tips and tactics to thaw a cold streak and pump some heat back into your bankroll.

Lower your limits
What? A casino telling you to bet less? Yeah, we know it’s crazy talk. Honestly, at our best bitcoin website we want to see our players succeed and enjoy themselves and sometimes that means dialing it back a bit when a cold skid sets in. Every players should have their bankroll broken down by units and have a set amount of units – or a limit - they want to play per hand, pull, spin or roll of the dice.

If roulette is your game, you may wager 10 units per play, and depending on the size of your bankroll, that could be $100 or $1000. But if the wheel of fortune should frown upon you, it’s recommended that you trim those units by at least half depending on how many full unit plays you’ve gone down. This shrinks you liability and allows you to weather the cold storm, before things turn around – and they always do.

Switch it up
You may consider yourself a blackjack genius, on par with Rain Man and those egg heads from MIT. But even the savviest player can get frost bit by a cold streak and while blackjack may be your game, you might want to step away from the table and try something new. Thankfully, BitBet.com has a massive casino menu, with classic table games and popular variations, so there's more than enough variety to soothe the most scorned casino player.

Fight back
Contrary to what we said above, the thing about lowering your limits, there are some casino patrons who will not take a cold streak laying down. The martingale betting system is pretty basic but very ballsy, calling for a player to double their wager following a loss. So if you lost $50 on a hand of Pai Gow poker, you would double up and wager $100 on the following hand. This system can quickly erase a bad loss or can sometimes backfire depending on how long your cold streak runs. If you are going “full martingale” be sure to have the bankroll - and the stomach - to back it up.
