The last two (10 and 11) on the list are the key to keeping us from chasing losses and being addicted to gambling. I believe gambling isn't a simple matter and it needs a lot of preparation and understanding to avoid bad consequences, not saying, it also requires a lot of self-discipline to keep us in check.
So what do you think about the list of instructions stated by the article, are they good enough to keep a person to have an edge against the gambling platform?
I agree, the last part of the list are mostly points that help us to focus on the risk part of gambling and how to stay on top of it. Having a good strategy is one thing, but good risk management is as equal important. All the winnings in the world don't matter if we can't keep them. A fixed budget and stop loss are two important features that we should use every time we gamble to remain full control over our bankroll. These are definitely all good points to give us an advantage in gambling. As for point 8.) I am not so sure if listening to the pros is such a good idea. In the past I used to listen to them very often before big games only to end up being disappointed. Because they not always give their honest opinion and can rather be forced to promote a specific team. Especially for the top European football clubs there seem to be a large number of professionals that want to promote them, even if their chances of winning the next game is not that good. I would rather try to make my analysis now instead of blindly trusting one of the pros.
