Scratch Card Strategies
On the whole Scratch Cards are a game of luck – but there are still some strategies and tips you can employ to help you get the most out of playing and hopefully winning online.
The Luck Factor
Winning at scratch cards is always down to luck, there is nothing scientific you can do to improve your chances of picking a winning card. As everyone knows lucky streaks run hot and cold but you can improve your percentage chances of winning in a number of ways.
The first way to improve your chances of winning big is by playing more scratch cards. No, I’m not suggesting you spend more money on the cards, rather that you play the cards with the lower purchase values – for example if you only have £20 available to play with this month then don’t opt to play the cards with a ticket price of £5! You’ll only be able to buy 4 cards and you’ll have to be very lucky to get a winner is such a small number of cards.
Instead play the cards with a purchase price of 0.20p (available at Jackpot Joy) as you’ll be able to buy 25 cards and you’ll dramatically increase your chances of getting a winning card in such a large selection. You’ll also have more fun for your money too!
Don’t Go Broke
It’s a pretty simple tip, but you can’t win when you have no money to play with! To avoid going broke use a ‘Stop Limit’ system. Set yourself a daily or weekly amount of money you can comfortably afford to lose. Let’s say you can afford to lose £20 a month without breaking into a sweat, so set yourself a weekly gambling limit of £5 – If you’re unlucky and lose the lot in one day then do not play again that week.
Using a system like this will help you control how much you are spending and allow you to continue playing even when luck is not on your side. This way you’ll be able to play through the dry spells and not get stuck in them. The longer you stay in the game, the better your chances of landing a big win!
Chase Wins Not Losses
If you find yourself on a winning roll then slowly increase your stakes and chances of landing a big jackpot. Because you can play scratch cards for low stakes you can steadily build up a healthy bank roll, if you start the day with £5 and you manage to win £30 in a session then bank £15 (your original £5 plus £10 profit) and gamble the remaining £15 on higher priced cards which carry bigger payout’s.
Play With Other Peoples Money
Gambling with other peoples money is way more fun than your own! Now I’m not suggesting you go and steal your partners credit card but you can get Bonus Cash from many online scratch card sites. Scratch2Cash the online gaming site is giving away £5 completely free to anyone who joins them this month.
It’s a great offer and you don’t have to deposit any of your own money to claim the free £5, just register as a new player and you’ll find £5 in your account to try out their games with – cool!
