Strategy Tips
1. Check Payout Odds
Higher payout = riskier bet (fewer people agree with you)
2. Bet Against the Crowd
If 80% bet UP, consider betting DOWN for 5x multiplier
3. Watch Market Momentum
Strong trends tend to continue short-term
4. Manage Risk
Don't bet more than you can afford to lose
5. Time Your Entry
Bet early to lock in better multipliers
