- Over‑cashing out too early: Settling at 1 × or 1 ½ × when the chicken is only one step away from a higher multiplier can leave money on the table.
- Chasing losses after a bad round: Trying to recover quickly by betting larger amounts can deplete your bankroll during a brief losing streak.
- Ignoring volatility cues: Each difficulty level has its own hit rate; failing to adapt your target multiplier accordingly results in missed opportunities.
A disciplined approach involves setting a target multiplier before each round and sticking to it regardless of how tempting it looks afterward.
