I ran into the same trap early on. What helped me was practicing a lot in the free version first and getting a feel for the timing and multipliers without risking real money. I keep a tab with the aviator demo open whenever I need to test a strategy or calm down after a rough session. Using it this way has helped me manage my bankroll and figure out what kind of cashout points work for me before I play live, which makes the game less stressful.
One night I went a little overboard chasing a streak in Aviator and ended up losing more than I wanted. I was excited after a couple of decent wins and thought I could ride the momentum, but it just kept crashing before I could cash out. After that, I realized I needed stricter limits and a plan before I even hit “play.” Now I try to set small bets and stick to a time frame, otherwise it’s way too easy to let emotions take over.
