Here is how Im doing it:
1. DYOR - always following my gut.
2. Check out website of project. Included in reading white pepper, see roadmap.
3. Check out the project's social media.
Following these three steps, I can determine whether it is worthwhile to invest in something.
How about you, would you add something to my list?
Your list are already sufficient and in all you have mentioned, I would love to place more emphasis on doing your own ret(DYOR) because no matter how hyped a project might seem to be, it is always advisable that you do your own personal research because nobody will be held responsible for what so ever Decisions you make because there is no guaranty in gambling as every player is held responsible for their actions no matter who introduced the to gambling.
You should also check out how much supply that projects has and always be very conscious of the price movement so as not to fall victim of loss from scam projects.
