Dragon vs Tiger Strategy Tips
- Stick to Dragon or Tiger bets: The house edge on Dragon/Tiger bets is much lower than Tie bets. While Tie pays 8:1, it occurs rarely (~7% of rounds).
- Use flat betting: Bet the same amount each round rather than chasing losses. This protects your bankroll over long sessions.
- Set win/loss limits: Decide beforehand how much you're willing to win or lose, and stick to those limits.
- Take advantage of streaks: Some players follow streaks (betting on the same side that won recently). While each round is independent, streak betting can add fun to your strategy.
- Avoid Tie bets for consistent play: Tie bets have the highest house edge. Reserve them for occasional fun bets rather than your main strategy.
